Farm stock in La Grange, KY? August 13, 2016 01:25PM
I heard there was suppose to be a pull in La Grangge, KY on September 17th and was going to have a class of farm stocks. Does anyone have any details of the classes and rules? KTPA is putting on the pull but they aren't in control of the farm stock class. I'm hoping there is at least an 11, 12, or 13K class. Thanks for any information.

mgdoug3, go to the battle of the bluegrass website, www.bluegrasspulling.com. They'll be using the farmstock rules from there even though it's not a BOB pull. I know they'll have a 11,000 but not sure about a 13,000.

Looking to pull around central Kentucky and southern Indiana depending on how hot the southern Indiana pulls are (uncut tires and turbo limit).

I gotcha. Them Indiana boys can be tough. I pull up there quite a bit. It's pretty much run what ya brung up there. They got a pull up there this Sat Aug 27 in Paoli & one Sept 3 in North Salem. The breast cancer pull in E-town is Oct. 7 & 8. Stanton, Ky is Sept.16. That's about all I have right now. Keep an eye on here for some of them. I think Temple Hill has one in the fall. Hope this helps ya some.

Thanks for the heads up. I have a 2.3 turbo now to meet the rules around here. I figured to be competitive up there I would need a bigger turbo.

Yeah, 2.3 turbo & 2600 rpm limit. I wish they went up to 3000 rpm but from what I hear a couple people tried to talk them into this & they wouldn't go for it. If ya go up in Indiana I'd put a little bit bigger of a turbo on. All they run is 3000 rpm up there. There are some pretty wicked ones up that way. Hope to see you out somewhere.

Have they ever considered changing either rule or have they always been dead set on the 2.3 turbo and 2600 rpms. Seems like a change in either one could increase the numbers of tractors.

I would like to see a 2.5 or 2.6 turbo limit. There's enough truck pullers around that you could find plenty of turbos at a good price.

That's what I was thinking too. 2.5 or 2.6 turbo & 3000 rpm limit but I don't think they'll go for it.

The reason these guys don't want to change the 2600 rpm rule is they are all built for 2600

Reason I get your point but would they consider changes or are they pretty happy with what it as of now? Have a good day.

Jarrod, my guess would be BOB.

The "they" they're referring to would probably be the Henry Co. group with a few different others. All of their tractors are set up for 2.3 & 2600 rpm & they're the main ones that pull with BOB.

Battle of the Bluegrass. They used the rules from the local farm stock classes. They have refined them but really haven't changed them. Most of the pulls around here are based on those rules.

If you change it to 3000rpm limit then they might as well just be Ky hot farms as there really would be no competitive difference besides turbo and a lack of safety equipment. With the current turbos the limits of the factory drivetrain is already an issue as I know several have broken this year. As the class currently is you already could build a hot farm for the money it takes to have a competitive farm stock and have a more reliable tractor.

I would like to keep the RPM limit the same. The price for a competitive 2.3" turbo seems insane. For the price (I've heard $2600 for the top one) I'd rather buy a bigger turbo and jump classes or the river.

It has stayed at 2600 rpms because of the John Deere tractor not wanting any body else to pull. But Mr. Nick Wehr proved that he could build a legal red one and mop there ass with it. They don't like it when something besides green wins.

My tractor has been sitting in the shed for the past year. I have it ready now and looking for pulls. I'm not expecting to win. There's several good tractors pulling in the class. I have heard the red one has been putting it on everyone so far this year, 20 feet or better. Different color is good for the sport. I'm just hoping to go down the track and have the tractor load itself back on the trailer.

I'm one of the deeres that Nick has been beating. The rules have not been set to keep any one out. If someone want to pull and builds to the current rules they are welcome as you are aware Nick knows how to make the IH run. I hear there is an Orange one being built to run farm stock as well. This class has the potential to be a very good class with a lot of color and power.
