New Holland Pro February 14, 2019 12:48PM
Just saw a picture of Greg Elsing’s New Holland Prostock and it looks great, but I’m curious what he is using for power? Is the 456 capable or did he go another route? (I assume he did) thanks

He has had an International forever, I would be shocked if it was anything other than a DT 466.

What else would he run? Only other options are 8.3 Cummins or a bbjd case newholland is a company anyways so it makes the most since no ford engine can get close to what theses guys are doing

I didn’t like the rule at first either, but I have gotten over it there are now several tractors with mismatched sheet metal and engines they put on a good show regardless, but I do feel like I need to know if they don’t match for some reason.

Cross dressing bothered me for a good while also. However, I had to come to the conclusion that there is virtually NOTHING John Deere, IH, Ford, AC, etc. on ANY of them. ONLY a dumb cast iron chunk we call a block is STOCK. So what am I doing? Building a cross dresser. HA. Hope everyone can enjoy tractor pulling regardless of what is under the hood.

Here is question if you are a red guy as he obviously is. Ran a red one for all those years and now running red block. Why put the stupid new Holland hood on it. It is not like there are many red pros being built. If you want to still with an odd ball brand run the 8.3 block. Same with couch ran a red pro for years running a red motor now but feel the need to slap john deere hood on it. I just don't get it just put red hood on it and be done

Man it's a free country it adds some color to the class that otherwise wouldn't be there who cares whats under the hood it's better than 90% green 10% red that the class always is. I don't love the rule either but it is what it is and it's not going anywhere don't understand why people gotta get their panties in such a wad over it worry about something that matters in pulling.

Who really wants to see another red or green one? At least it is not another square box '66'.

NH is part of the Case/IH family. So, so what it has a red motor. It is still in the same family.

Kudos to Team Elsing for providing a different brand sheetmetal in the class and it appears (from the picture) like it is technically and immaculately constructed. Thanks for coloring the PS class.

If you want to see matching hoods with blocks then the engine size should not be 680. 680 never should've been the rule whats wrong with 540? Until they lower the cubic inch limit, its going to be a green and red powerd class with a couple of perkins v8's

Couch bought a complete Deere Prostock,.....after many engine and block failures he chose a reman Dand R block instead of going the Deere big block route.

The stock big block Deeres are now starting to show their weakness with the advancement of larger turbine wheels and fuel pumps,...they are the next ticking time bombs in the prostock class.

I have known Greg for 20 years. His farm has bought about 10 new New Hollands in the last 15 or so years, the only binders left on the farm are a 1086 and an 806 (I think). They are almost completely switched on the farm. it makes sense that his pulling tractor is blue as well. I wish him the best of luck and can't wait to see the new tractor in person.

The boys run a bunch of blue tractors on their farm and a couple of New Holland choppers, and surely sponsered by a good size New Holland dealership....

Agree with "reasons" and "kudos." "IH 5488" just because you think it is a "stupid New Holland hood" a lot of people get tired of the all red and green show. What I don't understand is why do people tell other people what to build and how to build it. IT IS a free country. It's fun to have something different. If you want to build a 1066 sheet metal hood with DT 466 block then by all means do it. Just know it will blend in with many of them just like it in many different classes. I do like them as I once had one in that class. To each their own.

When NTPA finally initiated cubic inch rules on all existing classes, many, many and more many moons ago, the largest PS motor built at the time was 680.
There is a 540 cube PS class. Called Light PS.

"xxx" - Had to give your post some extra thought. Originally, I thought, build a Belarus as we do not have any of them on the pulling circuits that I know of. But then I thought, no, that won't work. Next thing we know, the U.S. mass mainline media will have you as part of the Mueller investigation. Ugghh, no good! Since it seems everyone likes Craftsman tools, then you should be "political korrect" with building a Craftsman tractor. But it will limit you to only garden tractor pulling. Good luck building it and your fan base, too.
