Looks like a productive meeting. I'm glad I left when I did, so I didn't have to choke anyone. Looks like another good year for the John Deeres.
Have fun playing with yourselves. |

Re: Henry County rules meeting

I was at this meeting and it was the biggest joke I have ever seen. these people have no idea how a tractor pull should be let a long what a farm stock class is, any fair board or promoter that deals with these people. but you all are very welcome to come to cynthiana in July and get a$$ shake&baked!!!! |

They want to make a rule against all inline and Model 100 rotary pumps in the 9000lbs farm class, leaving only Roosa-Master pumps. It's not final yet to my knowledge, but those in charge are working on a compromise, if there is one.
TheVoice, I think you are confusing tractors, The user 8000 Ford has never pulled with this group, he pulls in Cynthiana and used to pull NKTPA, and was just at the meeting to see if he could pull with this group next year. I have pulled with them and they have a very good running tractor, I don't think they have went over the RPMs at any pulls that I have been to. Edited 1 time(s).

Why don't they just put in the rules John Deere only and no new tractors. It's easy to see that's what they want. Same with the 11 and 13 the deeres can replace the engines with a 466 or bigger but nothing else can |

Re: Henry County rules meeting

first of all if your referring to me I don't have a red tractor and 2nd if you want to talk about whimpy girls crying think back to danville KY when we bet you all and who was doing the crying. and this past July in cynthiana who was doing the crying. and yes heighchew bet us at the chambers pull and I walked up and shook his hand and congradulated them but when we came to Henry county awhile back we was asked to leave before we unloaded....so now let's talk about whimpy whinny girls. I'll be glad to talk to you face to face. |

Re: Henry County rules meeting

I bet that 8000 ford would like it a lot better if this group didnt have an rpm box nailing it. |

Re: Henry County rules meeting

an foryour information we was one of the first to start running the rpm monitor. I have no problem plugging it in anytime. why don't you all have your cords completelyvisible front to back? guote rpm rule #7 cord must be easily accessible and MOSTLY visible to the tech officials. is radio shack in the part of what's covered |

Who's cords aren't visable? Pretty sure never saw any of those go down the track. I remember you sitting at Frankfort blowing high rpms and sitting on the sidelines. Funny how you were tops last year before the box. Don't y'all run 3k with you box? |

If it's a FARM STOCK class how can they put out tractors with those pumps from the factory. IH, Ford, Case and others come from the factory with other style puma them a JD. What do they do it FARMER John comes to the pull and wants to hook his tractor with a factory A Pump on it? Seems like the class is dead before it even gets going good! |

Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard.

Re: Henry County rules meeting
|
I agree, there needs to be limits. Cutting out inline pumps wasn't the answer. I heard that got agreed on and 9,000 farm-stock tractors are now 410 cube limit with no inline pumps allowed. Did that change for sure happen? I heard that it did, but i could have been misinformed. |

Re: Henry County rules meeting

No, they didn't agree on that, because Steve Heightchew would have to change his tractor and he wants to make sure he can pull his just the way it is and go back to winning. |

1st thing Justin said he wants to keep all the pullers that started this class and has pulled and pulled in the 9000 for years and I told him the only way that was going to happen was to put limits on it and keep the big pumps out but as I said and all you people heard me say I don't give a @#$%& one way or the other leave it wide open and I will park the old 4000 and build a Tricycle 4250 and we will see how many tractors are left in the class. As far as me going back to winning with the 4000 I got an IH tractor with a Roosa Master to catch before I can go back to winning. Nothing got settled about the 9000. There was a lot of people arguing about about that class that does not pull in it and and made it impossible to figure out. I don't know what the answere is but as for you NKTPA pullers from what I understand cheating by a couple guys in the 9000 ruined your class and Justin and Jimmy does not want that to happen here |

im gonna say this one time only. you henry county deeres keep ur whinny butts out of indiana. aint a single person in this southern indiana farm stock group that wants you trouble making crybabaies up here ruining our class. and dont worry, i can just about gurantee there wont be any indiana tractors coming to pull with you guys. shame on you guys for not making the rules equal for all the other colors in the class. you are a disgrace to tractor pulling and an embarassment to guys that pull john deeres. |

Hoosier Deere Kiss my A$$ This has nothing to do with you so post your real name or shut the hell up. The 11000 and 13000 are open to any tractor that meets the rules. The 9000 class has been a bunch of Roosa Master tractors Red and Green and some 1950 Olivers and there have been AC and Massey tractors in the class over the years . The 9000 has always been a different bunch of tractors than the 11 and 13000 classes . Last year Travis Gordon ran a 8000 Ford in all 3 classes He dominated the 9000 till one of the a-pump Deeres dropped down to the 9000 and beat him. the Olivers quit and a lot of the other tractors did also. So if you leave it wide open in the 9000 you will have the same tractors running in all 3 classes. BORING for the crowd. What I don't understand is why are the IH and Ford guys scared of the 11000 and 13000 Jason Smiths 9600 ford is a tough tractor in those classes and screwed himself this year running too big of a turbo for the 2600 rpm. And Hoosier Deere you are the trouble maker. You keep sticking your nose in our business. We don't tell you how to run your pulls. So shut your damn mouth or use your real name and lets meet face to face you chicken Sh-t |

I am not scared of the competition in the 11,000 and 13,000lb class, I just know that to be competitive in that class, I would have to get a new cylinder head, crank, rods, pistons (because I can't swap blocks), injection pump, injectors, turbo and probably even a camshaft. That's a whole lot more extra money than I have right now. My tractor is setup to match the rules exactly as the 9000lb class rules state and that is why I would like to continue pulling in that class. There are other ways to limit the class and it is not that hard to measure the diameter of a plunger in an injection pump. |

Steve, I only went to four pulls with the Henry county group, I was at the first pull of the year and none of these tractors you are saying quite were there. I also didn't here that they were at any of the other pulls I didn't make but maybe one, so I don't believe they quite because of my one Ford but because they were already behind the deeres from last year. Its funny to watch people complain about a Ford or a Simms Pump. As far as the 11000 and 13000 can you honestly say you think its fair for a Deere to be able to update to a 466 or 8.1 and change decals but no other brands can. Why should IH, AC, Ford etc have to spend the money to compete and the deeres can just bolt in a 466. |
|
Re: Henry County rules meeting
|
Steve Heightchew
|
Travis nobody is running an 8.1 and as far as the engine goes it is not my decision what anybody can bolt in. Personally is I agree with you and Jason if it is a factory motor and it bolts up without adaptor plates or cutting and welding and looks like it belongs in the tractor I don't see a problem myself. the thing deere did was took the same block and just bored it out. nobody can tell the difference between 4430 block [404] and a 4440 [466] . I had to bore my block to get to 466 because they did not make a 466 block for my style of tractor. And Travis I was not trying to call you out or anything but when you were there you put 20 to 40 ft on everybody else. Everybody knows all these old tractors that have pulled with Justin for years in the #9000 can not run with the big pump tractors. You and I had this discussion at Shelbyville. Justin just has to decide does he want to keep the guys that have been loyal to him for years or does he want an all new bunch that might show up. Lets face it 400cc Roosa Master pumps will not keep up with the Simms, a100 and A pumps. I am just waiting to see what he decides to do. If he lets the big pumps in then I will park the old 4000 and start planning a tricycle A pump deere. |

That's funny Steve, that your not calling Travis out, because all of y'all sure were giving him hell yesterday at your joke of a rules meeting !!!!!!! |

Re: Henry County rules meeting

Steve Heightchew

Nobody was giving Travis hell . He was brought up as to an example of what happens when inline pumps run against Roosa Masters. It is like running prostocks against super farms , not a contest. I like Travis Gordon , he has been nothing but nice to me. Why don't you use your real name instead of hiding behind your little code name |

Just curious Steve how u know that no one is running an 8.1 having u seen what's inside everyone's motor in the class, do you guys pump the engines to check cubes, or have a tech man that measures the engines before the heads are put on! |
|
Re: Henry County rules meeting
|
i agree
|
i agree with cory. i know for a fact that one of those deeres is an 8.1. i sold him the engine.. and 13mm scheid a pump |

Re: Henry County rules meeting

Oh really

Well mister I agree if you sold it to one of the pullers, who are you and who is he? I bet he doesn't care much for you now if this is true. |

Don't have a dog in this fight, but 10-12 mph speed limit class seems like it would eliminate a lot of tension regarding rules (or lack of rules). |

Re: Henry County rules meeting

I know that no one is a fan of speed limits, but I agree that it would level the playing field. It was actually brought up at the meeting as an option, but we were informed that some of the sleds are not able to accommodate. If everyone was held back to the speed of the roosa-master deeres then it would level it out, because it is more of a drag race than a pull at this point anyway.
I wonder why it wasn't brought up that the tractors that were able to beat the rest were also the tractors that were able to shift while in motion down the track. |

Re: Henry County rules meeting

Sensor one has a GPS unit that could mounted on any sled in about 5 minutes for about $500, $5 scrap steel for bracket, some zip ties, 2 alligator clips and a roll of masking tape.
I would think that the parties involved in this discussion could throw out $25 a piece and cover part of the expense. Cheaper than protest money and modifying a tractor that fits a set of rules for one part of the world (and could change in a year or so). Getting a non-GPS equipped sled operator to get on board with keeping an eye on the display might be an issue. Or $200 gets you a hand held radar from sporting goods store, but will only start reading at 15 mph. Good luck fellas! |

Re: Henry County rules meeting

Build It & STFU
|
why not just build a tractor that meets the rules? If the Rossa Deere Pumps can't keep up with an inline pump pull something different. Inline deere got into the 9,000 at taylorsville. |

Re: Henry County rules meeting

Grow up

Heres a thought for 9,000 lbs, 436 cube limit no A or P pumps |
|
Re: Henry County rules meeting

Grow a SET

OR make it 9000lbs, stock pump for make or modle of tractor and NO SHIFTING. i herd the new red one being built for the 9000lb class is really got them boys tore up! wonder what they will do to keep him out im sure smoke is coming out of those ears trying to think of somthing! remember fellas no one cares untill one comes in there and beats up on them!!! There might be more then one coming out for that class next year better get those rules out early, some of them might be tore up looking at the back side of red or maybe another color fender!! |

Re: Henry County rules meeting

Kentucky Pull

MPH Advocate, I think that might be the only way to resolve their problem in the 9000 but can they get a sled with MPH on it every time? I hope for their sakes they can find a happy medium somewhere so all tractors that want to pull with them can. I heard the meeting got pretty heated & a lot of arguing going on. No one wanted to change anything but wanted it fair. |

you henry cty guys say there is something in our water, or that we are dumb on this side of the river, but please look at the head line of this thread..lol hardly ever do you see a thread about an indiana pull with a bunch of people whining or crying.. seems to me that you guys have a really big problem and cant handle the fact that everybody reading this thread thinks your organization is a joke and a disaster waiting to happen. and if us indiana guys really are that dumb,(as u say we are) then please explain to me why when you come up here to pull nine times out of ten and indiana tractor womps all over ur butts? seriously, u can argue all u want about my statement, but anybody that reads this and has any common sense will agree. if you guys would just swallow ur pride and ask us a little about what we do to make our tractors run and what we do to make a tractor pull run well, and then open ur ears, maybe u would be more successful.. here in indiana with our MPH classes we draw in over 25 tractors at every pull. most nights 30 or 35 will show up. and 4 or 5 are from ky. so if you are good enuff to come up here and pull MPH classes,why arent you good enuff to have them down there? |

If they are not wanting the same tractors to run the 9000lb class as the others and most of the tractors in the class are 404 from the factory make the cubic inch limit 410. That let's the JD, IH, MF, CASE, and Ford all have a shot at it, leave it with factory injection pump. I think it's kind of hard to knock a brand out of a class because of the way it came from the factory. And could make for a good little local class with a lot of color. |

This was already brought up at the meeting and a couple of the roosa master deeres did not want to do this because they were already at 466. It was then volunteered that the roosa master tractors could have 470cid and everyone else was limited to 410cid and they did not want this either. I would really like to continue pulling in that class as there were only a couple that were way out in the front (if you don't count the last hook with the A pumped deere, which would be over the 410 limit) and one was even a roosa-master tractor, an ih with a 407 and the other, a Ford, isn't coming back to the class due to being sold. |

Does anyone know if they ever decided what to do with the 9000lb class? Also, is the 11,000 & 13,000 pretty much the same other than the turbo? Just wondering, haven't heard anything. Thanks! |
