A pulling tractor wrecked in 18 seconds, then another, on WhistlinDiesel 1000

Nothing new went up on the experimental side channel, and the older tractor video has passed three million views.

I destroyed this tractor in 18 seconds because I can

Among the car channels near its size, WhistlinDiesel 1000 sits in the busy middle, drawing about as many daily views as Samcrac. The big weeks belong to Gas Monkey Garage, which nearly doubled its usual pace, and Hoovies Garage, also running well above its norm. Dave's Auto Center and LegitStreetCars are quieter than usual, and so is WhistlinDiesel 1000.

That is no surprise for a channel that posted nothing. Its about text calls it an experimental channel and promises quantity over quality, but the week turned out to be all leftovers. Two tractor videos did most of the work. Both run on the same premise: a big machine, eighteen seconds, and Cody Detwiler's habit of breaking expensive things on camera. "Destroying a pulling tractor in 18 seconds" is two weeks old and past three million views. "I destroyed this tractor in 18 seconds because I can" came four days later, and it is now the one viewers reach for first.

Further back, the $100,000 Ineos Grenadier he bought "to keep it nice" is still picking up views. Its description says there definitely won't be a part 2, followed by a smiley face. Viewers who know the main channel may read that as a joke.
