Who won in the Hot Classes? |

It didnt go too bad. They made some exceptions for a few pullers that maybe they shouldnt have....no safety equip etc. only 1 pickup there. A fair amount of farm tractors which PAY the bills. Not a terribly lot of hot stuff but a few though. Olson ran good, Afdahl did alright too. Seems that pulling is dyeing out from 5-10 yrs ago. |

It was ok not alot of tractors or trucks. The sled was bad cuz when the hot classes hooked they all whent left and had to get out of the throttle. |

how light can you get a 4440 jd with cab in a farmstock class? |

about 11,000, maybe less if you really worked at it. Why? |

one pulled in the 10500 farmstock class with a 10mph speed limit and put 96 feet on the class and there wasn't anyone running the scales just wondering if that was possible to get the tractor down to that weight....... sure was an impressive hook though! |

That must have been delanders 4440! That tractor runs awesome! I was a little scared sitting in the bleachers. I thought he was gonna drive over the top of me! That tractor runs better than any JD i have ever seen! |

scale worker?
|
Thats why they need somebody to run the scales! Honor system doesnt apparently work. There was a 100' distance in 5500 also between 1st and the rest of the class but that didnt get questioned either. |

to my knowledge, delanders were not there. They should make a rule that the top 3 should go back to the scale. |

It wasnt a 4440 JD if my memory is right it was a 4250 John Deere. Delanders were not there. The 4250 put a good distance on every other 11000 lb tractor. 5500 was the same. The old oliver walked it out there pretty good. |

Any reasonable explanation why some tractors are able to put such a great distance between all the others with a speed limit on the class? I thought the speed limit would even out the competition. Any thoughts? |

In that case that night in boyceville as far as the 4250 walking out there 70 feet ahead of everyone, I think it was good driving. He got over to the side, hooked the loose dirt and with the radials that were on that tractor was able to drag the sled with. The sled uses those plates under the pan to stop ya and if they dont bite you can slide him right along.
That is just my opinion. |
Re: Boyceville, how did that go?

that wasnt delanders and for your information it did make weight with a little time you can get something like that down to the right weight! it was a fair pull and if we are right they did have someone at the scale and he said we were at the right weight to pull! it was a good hook and a good driver |

It was a 4250 that pulled in the 11000. And it does weigh 11000 with pressed steel on, if you dont beleive it let us know at the next pull and we'll pull it on the scale for ya!! |
