KBacker How much for your tractor? She is wanting us to get a JD.. So I would say that's what we will get. Sorry but not intrested in mini rods.. We may can come up with some more money if can't find something in our price range..

You can't buy a stock 4010 or 4020 for $10,000. I would say at least double or triple that number for anything that runs good and that would be a 3000 rpm 466 3lm style tractor without much safety stuff.

Where are you from? I know there are a lot of "too hot too farm" classes popping up all over the place I'm from central Illinois and our local club isp just put one in last year great class lots of color making about 600-650 hp classes like this are great starter classes to get the feel of the power and speed before you bump up also easier on the pocket book (box turbo small fuel pumps etc) than many of the bigger classes just a thought....

I honestly don't think there is a class anywhere that I know of running that you could build for $10000. $25000 is probably more like the average for low cost pulling. Includes naturally aspirated, farm stock classes.

$25000 may be possible for a "to hot to farm". I don't believe you can build a competitive light pro field for 25.

it depends how much work you wanna do yourself are you willing to spend the late hours in the shop tinkering and maybe struggling for a year or two till you find your setup or are you going to buy from a builder? theres the big difference in money

I bought a 68 4020 lp at an auction for $5500, sold some parts off it I didn't need. so ended up having about $4500 in it. Bought a 466 motor for $1500, 55 series head, beafed up the clutch, went throught the motor, made weight brackets wheelie bars, etc. put some cut tires on, painted it, all the safety stuff, it weighs 8000 lbs, put 3lm on it apump, spins it out in 7th every time at 3000rpm. Have under $15000 in it. Like someone said before, if you can do the work yourself, it will save you thousands. And you get the satisfactory from doing it all yourself when you hop on it and tear down the track

Your question indicated truck or tractor.If a pickup would suit an older Dodge with straight tranny and 12V mechanical diesel can do pretty well if set up right.I have pulled tractors and pickups thru the years and the most fun was just to bring our truck right off street or tractor out of field and have fun.Money has a way of taking the fun out of things.As much as I enjoy the speed and power most people in the crowd like local people that they know even if they aren't competitive.

Yeah if you want cheap fun get a 94-early 98 dodge with a 5spd and 12v. You can have some serious fun for cheap. Here's my Ford I put a 12v in. Sold it a few years ago roughly 750hp for $18k.
