Best Farm Stock/2Hot2Farm pull in the Midwest January 21, 2013 11:06AM
So, since its only like -40 outside, I've been watching a lot of pulling action on youtube, and got to wondering where the best farm stock/2 hot 2 farm pull is in the midwest? Ohio? Indiana? Illinois? Iowa? Wisconsin? Where is the best competition? Most entries? 3000 rpm, stock appearing pump, 20.8's farm class. Looking for maybe a roadtrip for some competition with the 1066 to see if we have what it takes to win anywhere.

Lets hear whats the best...

Anyone volunteering to be a tech inspector has lost there marbles but I respect that decision. Give me a date and place I'll show up. Earlville IA has a nice spot for pulling, spectating and parking. Smiling

I guess it all depends on what Farm Stock is. Apparently some Orgs. think that is 640 cubes 3 in charger. Jefferson Ia. has a real good pull, 10200lbs, 3lm, A pump, 3000 rpms, 20.8s, 466, 504 Case. Always a good class.

How about a "MIDWEST FARMSTOCK CHAMPIONSHIP". How cool would that be? Count me out for tech inspector. Lol

The northern Indiana/southern Michigan farm stock guys are pretty hot. I don't know if they're the hottest anywhere, but most of them would be well advised to add 3-bar roll cages in my opinion. That should say something.

Arthur, what kind of rules do they have if any? Will they black ball someone if they aren't from the area? Whats the best pull in that area?

I don't think there is an association with rules, there are just a collection of tractors that all make the rounds of the county fairs and other "brush" type pulls. The rules would be set and enforced by the venue. A handful of the places I see these tractors are Elkhart Co. Fair (IN), Cass Co. Fair (MI), Berrien Co. Fair (MI), and the Old Tractor Show at Hartford, MI. Elkhart and Hartford are probably the best pulls in that list. One fair I see them at enforces RPM rules so they're all running 3000, but the rest of the time all bets are off. Uncut tires and air shut offs seem standard.

As far as blackballing someone, I don't know. I talk to a few of the guys and they seem pretty nice. However in 2011 at Cass they had a "12000 Open" class. We said "are you guys sure you mean open?" They said, "yep!" When a few of us rolled into the staging lane for that class with super farms the whining started. Eventually we made exhibition passes, they felt it wasn't fair because of the cut tires.
