Toughest MPH Pulls

Where are some of the toughest MPH Pulls at for heavy farm stock tractors. 11,000 pounds and up. The class at gordyville was very fun to watch and it made me wonder where to go to watch some strong mph classes. |

A lot of strong mph tractors in SW Wisconsin and Eastern Iowa. 10mph up to 16-18mph speed limit classes. --- |

YouTube channel “turbocharged pulling videos” and check out the “13FS” videos. All strong tractors, nice looking ford that does real well. Not really sure where the pulls are. |

Of course I'm going to say the Southern Indiana Farm Stock pullers. One of our members Jason Wehr's daughter Tatum has videoed several of our pulls and are great to watch on YouTube. We run two classes usually a 10mph and a 14mph. Alot of different colors and on any given night any one capable of winning! |
Re: Toughest MPH Pulls

Totally agree with you Goose. Plus woos love to see some of the USA pullers run in a open class |

I don't understand the reason behind the 3,000 rpm limit in a paced farm class. If you're concerned about safety then have safety rules, rpm limit without cubic inch limit just leaves another class for the big block Deeres. Yeah a 466 will get a win here and there but if big blocks weren't winning why would people be using a big block... |

No one asked, the question was what are the toughest mph pullers out there. There’s always someone that’s gotta ruin a topic! |

I agree Jason and Dan, USA and IPL are just two great organizations who have great numbers and people to go with it. I know that there are groups in Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin who are getting the job done as well. I feel that when combined with other truck and tractor classes at an event it offers the spectators a well rounded choice to hopefully satisfy their thirst for pulling action. |

Goose don't forget about us with Indiana pulling league. 12,000 pound 10mph |

Insurance
|
3,000 RPM is usually dictated by the Insurance Companies covering these events. They feel 3,000 RPM is a safe number and some OEM flywheels run that speed all day long on the farm. IH 1466 comes to mind at 2800 RPM. |

If its an insurance issue then make some safety rules like flywheel blanket, side shields, air shut off, etc... I'd rather spin a 404 harder than doing a 619 swap. And itd give the binder guys a chance to use the 414s and 436s or fords 401 and allis 426. Should only be 3 rules in farm pulling: drawbar height, weight, and speed limit. Let those smaller engines wined out so that they have a chance to compete. |

I watched those videos and saw a lot of shinny pumps on them. I'm not much for mph/pace pulling except for antiques. I can't see that it's any safer the way these tractors where pushing the throttle full bore the last 50'. It's definitely a skill to drive in that class. There is a class in Central Pa. that's like that. I don't think our Hot Farm would be in the top 1/2 of the class. I think they have cube limit for what that's worth. |
Glenford speed pulls

Yes those guys run really strong!!! I'd like to see them in person. From the way it looks I'd bet they would give the Glenford group a pretty good challenge! I think they pull speed limit at Glenford as well? Be nice to see some of those guys run together. Hopefully there will be some pulls. I think the first Glenford pull isn't until sometime in June? |

A 404 swap to a 619, never seen it done probably never will. That was a very ignorant post, the proper way todo it would be 2500 rpm limit for the 619 maybe? the speed limit soaks up most of the horsepower advantages, in ECI and SWW, tractors are limited to 10 mph, 20.8 or 18.4 tires and 3000 rpm and no PPumps. A bone stock (cam, head) 404 with fuel and air mod will compete, you let the p pumps in and that is a large problem. The hardest engine to compete with is a 466 ih, the bore and stroke combo with a good 500 cc and other supporting mods, will make 8xx HP. |

Clark, I dont know what cubic inch engines that the Glenford guys run, but there is a couple John's and a Red one or 2 that run a pretty good race between them. I believe that they run 3000 rpm. However I dont think that they have a speed limit. Not certain of tires either, I'm guessing 20s.They get with it pretty good. I'd say 20 mph at least. Dont know what pumps they run either. Hope we get to see some good old fashioned pulling soon. |

Clark, if speed limits soak up most of the horsepower advantages then why does it matter if they run p pumps? A pumps have no problem pushing as much fuel as a p pump for a paced class, only difference is that A pumps typically cost more to build. I didn't mean for it to be an ignorant post just trying to get a good point across to all paced farm pullers |
Re: Toughest MPH Pulls

Just sayin
|
I also saw the Gordyville pull and the tractor that won the 15mph can't be 466 cubes. I'm guessing a ppump as well. Why spend that much money to run a mph class? That's an open tractor easy. I watched some of the southern Indiana 10mph pulls and that's an insane amount of power to go 10mph in my opinion. Just curious as to why, and how it's affordable. Most mph classes are for people who want to get started pulling. |
Re: Toughest MPH Pulls

dear just sayin as the builder of the wild goose chase I assure you it is a 466. sincerely kevin boggs |

He must have had the perfect setup for that moment, track, moisture, sled drag and air pressure, the right gear ratio and ect. we all have pulls like that ,when we wonder if the sled was hooked up. LOL |
