Mike,
I can't remember what it is, but there is a min. horsepower set for the Nebraska tests. CUT's fall under that minimum.

JCB used to have a team that would do all sorts of amazing things with their backhoes. They used to have pictures on their website showing them performing during the Super Bowl. There may be some pictures on the internet somewhere. I don't know where to look, though.

That's what their name was. I couldn't for the life of me remember what it was. They should be fun to watch. I wish they'd come close to here.

Got to say this,,,no, its not done light heartedly,,,there are some die hard fans of a preticular brand,that,if you were in a beer joint,would larp you upside of the head. I actually SAW a guys face turn red on the internet one time over argueing about stuff with me,,I was worried,,knew I had powers,but didn't want to harm any one,over argueing about tractors over the internet,worried he might be a fat 50 year old like me,who might have a heat attack,,,seriously,,,thingy

Really, Vin, TBN is becoming SUCH a prestigous organization, I don't see how we can continue another week without organizing a thoroughgoing testing and evaluation arm. Of course, it should be located in your neck of the woods, and we will send delegates...

Seeing as I can get ALL the wheels off the ground on mine, I guess I should, humbly, offer my services...

Well, you got me there! /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif But most of them don't look very much like what's actually working in the fields these days, either. Myself, I'm kind partial to watching the real old Olivers, Deeres, Allis's, Internationals and all the others duke it out. But to each his own.

Mike:

According to the Nebraska Test, the drawbar on the 5030 can handle my mower weight. I was concerned about the 1500 pounds of tongue weight breaking it. With the mower on the drawbar, my 5030 rides really good.
