Yes, congrats again Jason!! It is awesome that somebody wiped the Chizek/Blackbourn/Korth tractors (again). Over 8' is a good whoopin' too!

.......further proof, money doesn't buy it all.

Not sure who does the machine work, but I think he uses a bamber cylinder head and Bryan Conner did the turbo set up he most likely assembles everything himself.

Yes, nice work Commander team. I like seeing others get wins and do well, but I don't understand the dislike for the Armed and Dangerous tractors. When I go to a pull and see Chizek/Blackbourn tractors I'm excited to see some of the best iron in the country run and the majority of the time blown away by their performance. I don't see the need to brag when the Commander wins by 8'. I was at the pull in Hillsboro last year and Korth put over 30' on 3rd place and 50+ on the Commander, but yeah, 8' is a nice win. There are many tractors that are top notch and can win on any given night, take it in stride when they do...

I'm sure the hate comes from one of the best alcohol builders with one of the best light drivers with what seems to be an endless checkbook. They are fun to watch but I like seeing what the underdog can do.

I have facebook but still prefer to watch it on utube. He made the smoothest pass of any alky supers that night and that's what wins pulls, not the back pocket although it does help.

It was smooth, but just don't understand the old style sheet metal , that's kinda odd

Why is it odd?

I love it that someone is doing the "old style" look after all none of them are tractor rearends anyway. So make it whatever you like and I personally feel like it fits the tractors better than some of this new look does.

It's odd because it's not a green cookie cutter like the rest

Re: HOOTMAN'S PASS February 17, 2015 04:31AM
".....green cookie cutter......"

..............almost as odd as the oh so original red cookie cutter.......you know, those very original 66 series, or the "new" original 06/56 series...............no wait, how about the stylish new MX series.

....because we all know they aren't cookie cutter!

Get over it, there are more red and green pulling tractors out there than anything else, so how can each one be different or original ideas? They all start to look the same after a while.

That being said I do like the old Commander hood. Nice to see creativity.

Unless we start looking at pro stocks, almost all the green ones look the same , same chassis, same new style sheet metal, a lot of them use the same engine builder and even have very similar paint jobs, in that class yes they are cookie cutters IMO.

Re: HOOTMAN'S PASS February 17, 2015 01:19PM
Hmmmm.....

To be fair, I would say that if you are building red, it is either 66 or MX, which is every bit as cookie cutter I would say. Pro Stock may have many similar looking Deeres, but SF is FULL of 66 series IH, which each looks the same as the last save for name and shade of red paint.

Cookie cutter indeed!

Now a Ford, there's something you just don't see often, and they pretty much always look good.

Ford / NewHolland February 19, 2015 09:17AM
Here is something to know, look around.

Ford / New Holland made MANY different tractors models and sported many different forms of sheet metal over the years.

Just to name a few variations that have been made in to pulling tractors.

The 8000 thru 9600 most popular

The infamous Commander 6000 [www.pulloff.com]

4000 - 7000

8700 - 9700 [sp.yimg.com]

The 10 Series 5610-7810 Small hoods

10 Series 7710-8210 Large Square hoods [traktor.webgallerier.dk]

TW5 - TW35

40 Series 5640-8340

60 Series 8260-8560 New Holland TM

70 series 8670-8970

New Holland has a few more to mention

TG models have been popular

Yeah some of these are smililar but there is still more options that the next red or green.

We have 3 SuperFarms all different sheet metal

Great guy, great family, great effort! Jason thinks outside the box. When I first saw the Commander I wasn't sure, but it sure has grown on me! It sure looks good next to his dad's Hooter Scooter! Talented family of BUILDERS right there!
