My home state of Indiana had one national champion this year on the circuits of the NTPA or PPL. As the question asked yesterday which state is the best ? If judging by titles Ohio takes the cake!

Just a question to ponder, not that I know, but how many Pulling vehicles in Ohio or other states?
Or do they have more wins because they have more vehicles in there state than any other. Eric Prewitt The Prewitt Pulling Team Public Relations for The Pulling Radio Network |

Wisconsin and Ohio both had 3 ppl winners and wi had more total in the top 3, Ohio is strong but they have a huge advantage with location for the national circuits Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 10/13/2016 03:35AM by Dairy blend. |

I stand by my position that Missouri and Ohio are equals, Missouri has sheer quantity of pulling and Ohio has quality....not to say that Missouri doesn't have top notch pullers, because they do. Missouri's state fair has five days of pulling of every sort; what other state can say that? Bryan Lively -

I don't know that Missouri has more quality even.
Ohio has BG Ft. Recovery NTPA R2 OSTPA COATPA COTPC Rick Feicht OATPA Central Ohio Mini Buckeye Mods That's just what I can think of off the top of my head. Then there are to many brush pulls to list like Georgetown, Hillsboro, etc |

Missouri = "Quantity" Ohio = "Quality" Again, not talking Mizzou down at all just an observation. The roots of the sport are in those two states and should be respected as such, also adding to my rankings. Bryan Lively -

Just curious if anyone knows of a more concentrated area of quality pullers than what there within a 20 mile radius of eastern stark county!
Carlton Cope Warpath- GN points Champ-Bowling Green Champ- Louisville Champ Campbell Bros. Soupline Express- GN Points runner up MAC Trailer pulling Team- (3)Pro stocks and 1 Super Farm. Currently best running PS in nation. GN champs and runner up Kevin and Danny Schmucker Rampage and Git er Dun- Multiple BG Rings I believe 4 time Louisville champ and 3 time GN champs Kyle Karlen Bad Blood LSS- 2nd in GN points for 2016 Lou and Brenda Shanklin Black Sheep- 2016 PPL points runner up Joe Guiletto Sneeky Pete- BG ring winner 2016, Big Rigs points champ Dick Bonner Macksimus Prime 1&2- PPL points Champ and multiple BG wins Sanders Semi pulling team (4 semis)- many big rigs points championships (currently stopped due to health reasons) Jeff Hothem Fully Loaded- 2016 ppl super stock Champion Asside from GN pullers you have: Justin Garwood SSD4X4, Tom Miller Lt Pro, Greg Kenreigh Lim pro(2016 OSTPA points champ), John Cespedes and Bryan Snyder PS, Howard Antram TWD. Ed Johnson 2014 region II HSS points Champ This is just a list i pulled off the top of my head and does not include nearly all of the great accomplishments or many more great pullers for other organizations such as the Classic Super Stock which is extremely popular in this area |

My answer--OHIO

You can break it down into categories
•Number of Pullers •Championships by Pullers •Big Pull Wins "Crown Jewel Wins" by pullers(BG, Louisville/NFMS, Tomah, Chapel Hill, Hillsboro, Enderle, Scheid...for the truck guys) •Number of Pulls •Quality Pulls •Pulling Organizations •Tractor and Truck Builders(engine, chassis, or pulling parts) •Roots of Pulling and I would say Ohio is the best or close to the best in all of those... To start out in the past 10 years Ohioans have won 28 NTPA Grand National Championships and 20 PPL Champions Tour Point championships. As for big pulls we have BG, Fort Recovery, Enderle, Wellington, and many other national level pulls and large state/regional pulls. Plus some mean clay tracks! Pulling Businesses and Builders in Ohio •Riverside Engines/REI •Gene's Machine Shop/GMS •Cyclone Machine •Wipe Out Enterprises •Ken Veney Industries •Top Notch/Shipley •Humpco •Mets Machine Shop •Karlen Motorsports Chassis •Bullseye Performance •Barker Machine Chassis •Burton Chassis •JEB Modern Machines •SCS Gearbox •The Tractor Depot/Cope •Nichols Tire And these are just some of them... As for pulling organizations that pull in Ohio we have. •NTPA GN •NTPA R2 •PPL CT •PPL SS •OTTPA •OSTPA •Full Pull Productions/USA-East •COATPA •COTPA •OMTPA And many other smaller organization pulls and brush truck and tractor pulls -2nd place would be Wisconsin by my criteria- |

i'm not really sure it's fair to ask or say what state is the best.. Every state that has pulls is good and bad. I live and photograph for New York (nytpa) they have a great club with great people.. Yes we only have one national pull compared to other states. We have a lot i mean a lot of farm and hot farm pulling in New York. So i ask how can anyone say who is the best state ???? i just think it's a unfair question |

Re: What state is the Best

The question did not say "what state has good pulling?" or "what state has good tracks?" or " what state has good pullers?"
We all know alot of states have good pullers and good pulls and so on... Thank God for pulling wherever it may be!!!! we love all of it. But the question IS... WHAT IS THE BEST PULLING STATE? and it IS a fair question, absolutely not an unfair question. The answer is indisputably Ohio there are simply no facts that lead to believe otherwise. It always has been Ohio. It may not forever be that way and that's ok I want pulling to be HUGE everywhere but for now its Ohio. i did not say pulling isn't big in other states but like Chip42 posted previously when you look at each category of pulling you ohio comes up every time. |

Well maybe the classes should have been specified NTPA snd PPL is only a fart in a whirl wind compared to all the pulling that goes on find the names of all the clubs in each state antiques farm and brush pulls add the pulls up then you will have your answer 8 or 10 grand national winners don't make Ohios pullin huge 500 pulls between April to Oct would make it huge Hell the Buckeyes don't start pullin until June and froze out in August And I would bet the state goes HILARY in the election So your question should have been who had the most grand national winners wich 80 percent of the pullers could care less about and 90 percent of the fans at the fairs never heard of |

Re: What state is the Best

I'm sorry your butt hurt that you don't live in Ohio, but to set the record straight we start pulling the first weekend in May and pull through the month of October. According to you we quit pulling in August here is just a list of pulls that I can think of after August
OSTPA: canton, Marietta, mt Gilead, richwood, st. Clairsville, wooster (X2), Ashland, Dover, coshocton(X2). FPP/Usa east: canfield, Burton, Dover, Lisbon, NTPA: waseon, canfield, canton, Marietta, Findlay, Old Washington, Enderle pull off, Other pulls: Hillsboro(X2), Georgetown (X4) loudonville(x2), Cadiz, buckeye diesel blast pull, many many other pulls at fairs where they have the local classes( that you mentioned) of tractor and a lot of independent diesel truck pulls ** certainly doesn't seem like we rollup the tracks after August** - just fighting words with facts- |

You might want to reread the post by chip42 as he mentioned Ohio has some pretty heavy hitters when it comes to builders in this sport. |

Bryan is right. Missouri has 14 different pulling organizations. Granted they aren't all top tier level. But you can see all types of tractors and trucks in Missouri which is awesome. Iam from Macon Missouri. Granted I miss the Show Me Showdown. It takes a lot of time , money, and dedication to put a pull on. 95 percent of fans doesn't know the work involved. So to all the organizations and promotors Thank You!! You all should get more respect on here |

West of the Mississippi its Missouri hands down...Theres a wide variety of pullers here...East of the big river its Ohio.. |

Re: What state is the Best

Pretty Simple

Ohio. If not for Ohio you would not have all the organizations that there are anywhere. You could go to a pull in a Ohio every night of the week starting at Memorial Day thru most of September. |

Re: What state is the Best

You're comparing apples to oranges Missouri,Iowa,and all other Midwestern states we are on the western fringe of Champion tour events. It's really a debate not worth having if your a fan it doesn't matter where they're from. |

Hands down, Wisconsin takes it.
Farming from way back when lead way to pulling tractors of today, which brought trucks with it. Our fans are so incredibly passionate and know their pulling. The events happen in every town from 10 people to 10,000 plus. We run just about every class known to man in Wisconsin which of course brings some serious championships to Wisconsin. Not to mention, the promoting. No one promotes pulling like those in Wisconsin. Clubs, venues, cities, fans, pullers, promoters, the list goes on and on! Wisconsin!!! |

It has to be NY. We have the highest taxes, biggest ahole for a governor, so we must be the best at tractor pulling too! |
