Changing of the Guard at Full Pull Magazine
Published 01/13/2012 09:36AM, by Jake Morgan
It was a bittersweet Farm Show for me last year. And it’s going to be really strange sitting there with my camera this February. My father and I have been going to the show since the mid 1990’s and in 1998 I applied and got accepted for a media pass. My father and I have had wonderful seats in the media area ever since, and I’ve sat next to Photo Joe for all those years.
Moving into the media area had the advantage of being the best seat in the house, but more importantly I got to meet and sit next to Photo Joe. I knew of Joe through his magazine, Full Pull Magazine. I had emailed him a time or two, but I had never met him in person. Honestly I didn’t really know what to expect, because technically, we were competition. The Pulloff Page (as it was known the...

I haven’t had much time to work on the Opinion page and I definitely haven’t reviewed a pull in a while so it’s the perfect time to kill two birds with one stone, and the 2010 Keystone event is one worth noting.
For those of you who haven’t ever been to an indoor tractor pull, it’s quite an experience; it’s usually bad stale air with some great pulling action. I usually go home with a pounding headache but still very happy with all the excitement I’ve just seen going down the track. Sure the sounds are different and you can’t see the smoke, but sometime you can really feel the horsepower as the whole building vibrates. The 2010 Keystone Nationals had all the good traits of the usual indoor pulling but hardly any of the bad.
The facility at the Harrisburg Farm Show Complex is by far the nicest (besides Louisville and other very large venues) venue that I’ve been to. The ceiling in the equestrian center is high and the airflow through ...

No Light Supers at Louisville for 06 - What does this mean for the future of the class?
(September 15, 2005) - I have to admit I was more than a little shocked when I read that the National Farm Machinery Show Committee had decided to leave the Light Super Stock tractors off the Saturday afternoon show. In fact I think I’m still in shock, and to be quite honest I’m disappointed, frustrated, angry, and in disbelief towards their decision. The LSS class is by far the most colorful class in the tractor division of the show, with the potential for a little of every brand. It’s a very odd decision to say the least.
So why did the NFMS drop the class? - To be completely honest I don’t really know why the class was dropped. It’s been two days and I still can’t ...
