Tata Harrier.EV Shows Off It's Brute Torque By Out-Pulling A Massey Ferguson Tractor

The internet is an integral part of our lives. We scroll through hundreds and thousands of videos and posts every day. Some of them are funny, while others make us think. We also come across fun and experimental videos featuring people having fun with their vehicles. On the internet, we have seen several videos of drag races and tug-of-war contests. Here, we have one such video where a Tata Harrier.ev and a Massey Ferguson farm tractor are seen competing against each other in a tug of war.

The video has been shared by Mohit Viham on his YouTube channel as a short. In this video, we see a Tata Harrier EV and a Massey Ferguson tractor tied to each other using a towing rope. Both these vehicles were participating in a friendly tug-of-war match to show which one of them has the power to pull the other.

Massey Ferguson or farm tractors are often used to pull out stuck vehicles, and we have seen several such videos on the internet. The diesel engine holds enough grunt to slowly pull even a loaded trailer or a truck that is stuck in dirt.

So, when you see something like this, you are naturally inclined towards the tractor and expect it to pull the Harrier.ev along with it. What we overlook in this case is the SUV on the other end - the Tata Harrier.ev, which was launched in the market earlier this year. The major advantage of an EV is that all the power and torque are available from the moment the car starts moving.

In this video too, both vehicles were pulling each other, and for a moment, it felt like the tractor might win. The very next moment, things turned around, and we see the Tata Harrier EV pulling the tractor with it. The tractor seen in the video is a Massey Ferguson 1035 DI tractor. We checked the specs online and found that it is powered by a 2.4-litre, 3-cylinder diesel engine that generates around 40 PS and 136 Nm of peak torque. The torque is available from as low as 1,150 rpm.

We see the tractor’s wheels spinning freely after losing traction. This is a 2WD tractor, which would have also made a huge difference. The Harrier.ev, on the other hand, looks like the top-end AWD variant.

This means the SUV gets a dual-motor setup, which offers better performance in such tests. Despite using low-resistance tyres, the Harrier.ev managed to pull the tractor without any drama.

The higher variants of the Harrier.ev are powered by a 75 kWh battery that generates 390 bhp and 500 Nm of peak torque. That is the reason why the Tata Harrier managed to pull the tractor so effortlessly. If it had been the 2WD version, the tractor might have given the Harrier.ev tougher competition - but still would have lost.
