New ky light class June 07, 2017 03:47PM
A year or two ago when the light hot farm class was being started there was several wanting a smaller cube lighter class that even a 4cyl could compete in like maybe a 5500 pound 300 cube classis anybody interested 'I believe a class with utility type tractors like a 175 mf or 2030 jds 5000 fords with like a 18.4 30 or 34 tire limit would make a neat class would they be any interest

That sounds like a really neat class. We have been working on a Compact Super Stock class in Iowa/Missouri. There is a couple of association that has agreed to make a class, if we come up with a few tractors. We gathering parts for 3 or 4 right now. It should be a fairly inexpensive class to build and run. Here is the rules we are using.

Call me crazy, but the KY class Sounds similar to the proposed outlaw llss class with little tires and the Iowa/Missouri class sounds extremely expensive when you factor in the component chassis, with the overhead cam billet aluminum cylinder head on the 3.9 cummins or even the destroked 5.9.

The component chassis is much cheaper than a cast rear end, on this size tractor. We are going to use a truck transmission and Rockwell rear end, both relatively inexpensive, with lots of ratio options. And you are correct that an overhead cam billet aluminum cylinder head on the 3.9 cummins or even the destroked 5.9 would be expensive and someone is more than welcome to build that. But with a limited turbo size, that engine is only going to build as much horsepower as the turbo can support. That will allow someone with a tighter budget still be competitive.

I was talking more of an average puller friendly class the llss stock class is starting to dwindle since the 70 to 100 thousand dollar tractors are stating to show up the numbers are going down the light hot farm class has has just started but its looking like an all red class and not many would want to invest in a starter class that cost 6000 dollars for the fuel system theres some neat classes over seas running utility type tractors I sold my tractor and im ready to try something different a 430 case on alcohol fuel njected with a 3lm turbo in about a 4500 pound class would be interesting or a 801 ford

The LT hot farm class in Kentucky may appear to be all Red at the moment, but that's changing. There will be a Ford running this weekend with Ktpa in Central City. There is an Allis, Oliver, Massey, and JD are on the way.

You are correct that we do not need more classes, but we need to figure out how to get pulling back to being affordable. The more resonable it is to compete the more competitors it will have.

all I seen was red at central city last night in the 6000 lite hot farm. and it was a non impressive show for that class. ive seen farmstock tractors run 16mph and put on ALOT better show than those 5 tractors I seen last nite. I have no clue how this class got booked as much as it did with ktpa. just my 2 cents.

Hey "was there". I was there too last night in central city. A couple of the tractors in the class did have some issues. Issues do come with any pulling class. All the tractors ran 23-24 mph down the track. That was probably one of the tightest tracks the class had ran on before. We will all try a little harder to do better for you next time. Just my 2 cents.

Be careful "was there" your not allowed to be critical of the new greatest class in the country, or your comments will be deleted.
