I also pulled a sled up to the fence with my H-3 at a John Deere club show crawler pull. The little JD crawlers were not even close. Our local JD club invites another brand as a guest each year.

I remember years ago I went to a pull at the fair grounds in springfield Illinois with my father in law. They had several classes. they used a white tractor to pull the sled back. I think the white tractors maybe had just came out. Anyway in the big class the 2nd place guy had 3 327 motors in line. the 1st place guy had a jet engine and I think 250 was his pull. Right after that the announcer said they had one more pull. They hooked the sled up to that white tractor and it was just idling when it went though the 300 foot marker. a lot of people were surprised. that's a good video of the h5.

Well... I'm certain it feels good to cheer on the 'little guy', but agricultural traction prediction in soil is fairly accurate:
The more weight you have on driven wheels, the less you have on undriven wheels, the diameter of the wheels (when round) the contact surface area of the wheels or traces... all have a very obvious effect of drawbar tractive effort.
Your 'big boy' hot rods are what... 6,000lb weight class or thereabouts. At a 33% slip rate, you're only gonna get 1980lbs of pull when the tire starts to slip.
Compare that to an 11000lb tracked machine's capacity (11,000*.33) of 3630... of COURSE it'll win. Now put in mind that the tracked drive, as a virtue of it's tracks, will have a higher percentage of tractive effort, it's a rather big shoe-in...

Maybe a different set of rules for crawlers
British Test Report No. BS/NIAE/56/6 IH BTD 6
5 speed manual transmission
Total weight 12859 lb
Max drawbar pull 10500 lb (1st gear) Slip 4.8 %
Max sustained pull (1st gear) 11700 lb. Limitation - engine stall

Power to weight ratio - as said on tires - where the rubber meets the road . I do know a HD5G will not bull a fully loaded 12 yard concrete mix truck out of a soft spot when the tandem set is rim deep is soft stuff . ( but it will spin the tracks )
