Colo, Iowa MPA Hot Farm Saturday 8/12/17 6PM August 09, 2017 08:41AM
Trying to build this Midwest Pullers Association Hot Farm Class. Would love to see some new iron there this weekend!

3000rpm, no water/N2O/injectables, no cut tires are really the only rules at this point while we try and figure out what works and what doesn't.

If you are starting this class you need to be running some Safety Equipt. At the least a Blanket and Wheely Bars and should be a Cage.

What size turbo?

Re: Colo, Iowa MPA Hot Farm Saturday 8/12/17 6PM August 11, 2017 03:54AM
There isn't a size limit at this point. Most of the guys are running 3lm's. Would like to see some Garrets and BW's show up to see what's comparable and what's not.

We will have safety equipment rules after the meeting this winter. Not sure you need a cage and scatter blanket but appreciate the input.

Where is the area of the state that will be covered by your organization?

Re: Colo, Iowa MPA Hot Farm Saturday 8/12/17 6PM August 11, 2017 06:15AM
It's pretty much the central Iowa area. More or less, if it's less than an hour and a half from the center of Des Moines that's the area that's covered.

Wanted to add that there are Hot Farm rules on the MPA website but they don't apply any longer. This class is in a transitional phase and we're trying to see what's out there and what people will run before new rules are set in stone.

If you run 3000rpm, no water, and no cut tires we'd love to see you there tomorrow!

No thanks, I guess I'm weird, but I'm not driving 60 miles with a 3lm tractor to pull against "run what you brung" guys who can't compete with tractors like their own in other associations, so they like to be a big fish in a small pond. Seen it many times before.

 John you should just stay home. You are one of the pullers who throw crying fits because you get beat instead of focusing on getting down the track with what you have. 3lm rules are for guys stuck in the old days. There are fifteen turbos out there that are better or the same now. Limit the hole size and go pulling. Why don't we all just have a baking contest and start with the exact same recipe if we're going to have a 3lm only rule?

If you're 60 miles away, I'd come to the pull and hook. There's only four tractors that ever show and they all run a 3lm anyway.

The payout is great as well and guaranteed at least 200 to win and down the line to 50 for fourth place at every pull. You won't find a nicer bunch of guys just trying to get a class going.

Jerry, I think the plan is to follow suit with what others are doing close to here. When Justin and I were talking we discussed exactly that; you want to make it as enticing to the tractors in the surrounding area as it is to the members of that club that are local. Keeps new blood in the show more often than a set of rules that cater to a few guys. Not sure that a 16mph speed limit is what anyone wants but it works in the ECIPA very well so I'm sure it's not off the table completely.

Whatever you decide I hope it works, by the way to keep pullers happy, Truck or Tractor, Shake up the Pulling Order so that the same classes don't pull First and same Classes don't pull last that helps a lot.

If you want to start a new class, regardless of what the class is, look into what other close associations have. Then you will get tractors from there to pull with you,you can't have you're own Rules and expect to get much of a Turnout. Check East Central Ia, IAMO, West Central Ia, and others and make rules so competitors can Pull without having to change anything. Good Luck

16 mph too hot to farm is enjoyable modern day antique pulling. Go watch videos from 1980s bowling green prostocks, very similar to watch 1000 horsepower dragging the sled the last 150 feet and about the same speeds It works real well as a change of pace from a 25 to 30 mph classes. The specters and promotors really enjoy the equilibrium of farmy look with performance and just enough safety equipment to not look like a full blown pulling tractor.

People love to see that tractor run just like they like to see pretty red ones go. What they don't get to see is all the bitching i have to put up with just because we aren't part of the group... yet.. and because three guys think they make a whole class; and just want to show up, collect 200 or 300 bucks just for being present, and then go home. How many times you think people are going to want to see you finish in the exact same order with the same three or four tractors?

I am about the show. The show is why we're there.  Without a show you'd be sitting at home. Biggest show off because we won? Hardly.

Thank God the MPA association (Glen and Justin especially thanks to you two guys) is in place so people like you who hide behind a keyboard can't ruin a show for everyone.

I'm asking because I honestly don't know. Not trying to be a smarta$$.

What are the 5 generations better than the 3LM? For classes with a limited charger rule or 3LM rule, what would be a good replacement with similar size/reliability, better performance, and similar cost??

Can someone compare and contrast these?

S2E? S300?

Brock what are you running on your 531?

The 2017 equivalent of a 3lm would be a S360 (part number 177272), t4 foot and 2.36" inducer. Runs a hell of a lot better also

Hey, I had a ton of fun last night. I appreciate Norm and Jenn more and more every time I'm there. True sportsman/sportswomen. Thanks to you guys, and Jerry too, for trying to be inclusive of us. It's just too much tractor for that class. Is what it is.

I'm not about all this drama on here so ill leave that all alone.

Major thanks to Justin and the MPA, can't wait to see what's in store for the tractors and until then I really appreciate you making a place in the show for our machine!

If that were true the 6030 guy wouldn't need a turbo at all, but he complains because his tractor is a replacement for his teeny little p p.

Re: Colo, Iowa MPA Hot Farm Saturday 8/12/17 6PM August 12, 2017 12:47PM
I am not being a smart A with my question as I am 1000 miles from you guys. How do run a Hot farm without water injection ? I ran a 4320 and once we got a good rotary pump and a 2.4 charger I kept burning up the exhaust fins on the turbo. We had a no water rule also but as always some were running it and other stuff. Also good luck with your new class. I've been there and done it for over 25 years and have never seen a non-State or National class work without a lot of issues. That's why I gave it up a few years ago.

It's not really a Hot Farm class, more like Farm Stock only turned up but they don't have any Rules so anything kinda goes. I'm just kinda a Bystander but they are gonna have some big trouble on the Safety side if they don't get some rules in place such as Helmet etc.

True, they did make them. Ours was not an N/A tractor to start off, however. Believe they were all rotary pump as well. Essentially a 5020 with a 6030 rear/trans.

Are they having a 3lm pull at the fair? I thought it was just the big boy pull on Wednesday.
