Question About True Grit PS at NFMS

While going through Jake's pictures (thank you very much for posting them by the way) I saw Lance had a precleaner assembly on the tractor but didn't see the turbo inlet air horn sticking out the front of the hood/grill. Was this simply for cosmetics or did he do this to keep for ingesting any sand? Not trying to start an arguement, but just curious. I have followed these guys since I was a little kid as I grew up 20 minutes from them but have never taken the time to stop by and say hi at a pull. Regardless, I think the tractor looks great with or without the added piece. |

yes i noticed that also on friday night. I would have to think that it was just cosmetic (which i though looked pretty cool). I would think that one of those motors would about turn a pre-cleaner inside out, but i cant say for sure. It never fails you can spot that tractor a mile away, gorgeous paintjob and those big fat fenders, lances tractors are always a class act. Nathan Barrett |

cant be real. it would choke a 5 inch turbocharger trying to get air through that cleaner |

Yea it sure is a beauty, i think the air cleaner makes it look better (more original). So does the big round fenders and the side shields even go back farther than most making it look like the dust shields most wheatland tractors had. Good looking tractor. |

I think it kind of looks like a zit on a really good looking woman, you can over-do it on the details
Minus that fake air breather though, its amazing looking. |

Thats the beauty of tractors, I personally think those models are hideous! Looks like a oversized woman. Give me a sleek 4 or 7000 series anyday. just my opinion. |

hahaha...I am sure Lance would love to hear we are comparing his tractors to others like a gal with a little meat on her bones and some curves versus a gal who is tall and slender...now that is funny. Good thing he isn't using the Big Bud chassis....
I personally think it is "outside the box" with his thinking and it does add something different than what we are used to seeing. I guess if it doesn't get in his way while driving, go for it. |

It's non-functional and looks awsome! Fuel tank filler cap, radiator cap, hood ornament, air cleaner, wheatland fenders, made it the best looking tractor at Lville,and I told him so! The New Generation tractors 4010-4020 5010-5020-6030 best looking Deeres ever made. If it's green its good those are just my faves everyone is entitled to their own. |
Re: Question About True Grit PS at NFMS

Hi, everbody out there
Are they using the big engines which are originally fitted into 5020 / 6030 Johnnys ?? Or do they use an upgradet 6466 Jd (466 cid) engine ? Greetings , from the Netherlands , Marcel www.teambrutus.nl |

they are using the big block in these tractors. Lance has had these figured out for years now |

From the results they need to spend more on thier performance side instead of cosmetics side. |

? 4 ya!!

How many wheatland copycats have been made since lance did the first one!??? Stil looks better than the wileman 30 series clones--how many of them are floating around?? Lances intake will probably be back out the front when he gets an intake to go with the new head hes runnin now!! |

One thing we need to be mindful of when us non-pullers are sharing our opinion is that there are only so many different sheet metal styles in all colors to use. No matter what color a builder makes, it will only be a matter of time before someone is accused of being a "copycat." Let's take John Deere for instance;
"New Generation" 10 series with the later released 20 series; 10 & 20 series look the same "Generation II" 30 series (first Sound Guard cab) and "The New Iron Horses" 40 series; 30 / 40 / 50 / 55 / 60 all look the same 8000 series initially released in 1994, with many updating versions since, mainly due to emition regulations of the engine So really, you have the Generation One, Generation Two, or an 8000 series style sheetmetal to build a JD puller. You can go through the changes of all manufacturers and will find the same scenario. Tantrum has simply chosen to take the larger of the tractors from the 60s and use them as their flagships, the 5010 / 5020 / 6030, with a bit of customizing to make them unique. They do a great job but I honestly would be the proud owner of any pulling tractor, regardless of who made it and regardless of what color it is. Thank goodness we are freedom of speech to share our opinion as they all bring something to the table. |

wrong

Just because you don't like it doesn't mean no one else does. it's pretty obvious some people on here like the older look and could care less if its component or not. |
