Compact Tractor Pulling

At tractor pulls you're scored by how much you can pull compared to what you weigh- a light tractor can look good by that criteria.

I'd put my money on <font color=red>Red</font color=red>, <font color=red>Farmall Red</font color=red>!

Seem's they don't do pulls around here that I have ever heard of (N. Calif). I have seen posts on other forums of people at least trying thier "antique compacts" at pulling.

I would guesstimate that my Farmall "A" would do a pretty good job pulling, if the front and rear wheel weights were installed.

My "A" is about the same size and HP as my Kubota B8200. Maybe I could wrangle up Harv one weekend to come drive the B8200 while I drive the Farmall, and see what happens. I could off-load the loader from the Kubota. The B8200 is HST, 4x4, with turf's. The Farmall is gear, of course, with big Ag's on the back.

Might be fun! Harv???

Robert -

Never tried one of them new-fangled HST jobbies, but I'm willing to learn.

Turfs vs Ag's in a traction contest? Now that would be interesting. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

I'll be right over as soon as I have a surplus of time and money. /w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif

Rat,

<font color=blue>drag your Farmall Red into the lake, </font color=blue>

Is the 454D a submersible or is the chain stretched across the lake?/w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

Al with an "A" as in Farmall

Twinkle Toes, Robert lives on the south side of Folsom Lake from me. He is in the town of Shingle Springs and I am just north in Newcastle. I was hoping to get a little spirited competition aroused. I'm not even sure what a tractor pull is. Do they pull a weight or do they pull each other? Rat...

Was at one last night, and had a great time - watching. Go to the NTPA site for Nat'l Tractor Pulling Assn. They will talk about rules, classes, pulling sleds, history (back to horses), links to other associations, etc. You may find it interesting.

I'm ready /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif Say, aint that 454D <font color=red>Red</font color=red> too? They used <font color=red>Farmall Red</font color=red>, even after they dropped the <font color=red>Farmall</font color=red> moniker /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Ya, there might not be much more than a pond by the end of this summer season!

I'm thinking my 19hp A might be a close match to my 19hp B8200 though /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

New fangled? Heck my B8200 is practically an antique compared to your tractor /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif Not like the Farmall, but...

For the turf's vs ag's, well, it'd be a run what ya's brung, and since it's what I got, and all I'll have for a bit, well, it'd just be a fun time /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Surplus of time and money? Heck, I was thinking about coming to work for you!
