Deereman	I guess it doesn't take 800 cubes to win a mph class! Its also ok for a 903 to run, but kick the 6030's out. That's the solution for all brush pulling. Reply Quote

Re: Freetown truck and tractor pull June 12, 2010 09:39AM

2cents worth

The 903 has no business in a farm class. To me taking a 500cu perkins out and putting in a 903 cummins and dropping classes doesnt fly. If it was still in the hot farm class where it started out they sure wouldnt allow it. The tube frame and engler hitch dont belong either. I dont know the answer to the 6030 dilema. Alot of previous guys have made it ruff for newcomers to pull these tractors now. U can argue the 619 thing all day. I dont have all the answers and this will probably really open a can of worms. But this is just MY opinion. And every knows about opinions.

First off this bis not a hot farm class it is open farm pulling and our tractor meets the rules 100 percent, we run 3000 rpm 20.8 tires and whatever weight the class is. That engine came out of a massey 4880 tractor just like the 619 that the big block deeres are running came out of an articulated tractor. as far as the beginners getting started in pulling most pulls run mph classes. If you are going to run open farm then you run under the same rules we do and you understand those rules when you show up at a pull. The funniest part of all of this is not one puller has came up in person and complained to us about what we are running, instead a select few wait until they get home and hide behind their fake identities on the computer and all of a sudden you have all the answers, grow up.

my 2 cents	Shut up about the 903 and 619 crap! They aren't ruining any classes or preventing anyone from getting started into pulling. Its an open class and there are no rules. 2 stock blocks won in the mph last night so if you want to pull its not hard just go out and buy a tractor. Either play the game or stay home. Reply Quote

ac220	Thank You No one else would sign up for the 6030 class so he offered to sign up that way so it would start the class sorry if this offended anyone Reply Quote

smokin4250 Registered: 05/20/2008 Posts: 258	The majority of the tractors (90 percent plus), irregardless of brand, did have (and have had for quite sometime) modified hitches. SEVERAL had Engler/Halsag style hitches. Plenty of others had shortened/adjustable, etc. If someone is going to start policing or not allowing modified hitches, better get it in black white what your looking for. Reply Quote

No one would sign up for the 6030 classes because that class is a joke. Furthermore the reason behind that class is even funnier. Come on boys this isn't about plowing a field. This is tractor pulling and telling people to stay home when your having a benefit pull is also smart. Nonetheless people supported you last year till 3:30 in the morning. Congratulations popcorn popper i'm glad you showed the boys that it doesn't take a 6030 with 800 cubes to win. Cause they all got 800 cubes including the 5020's.

you guys want to whine about something that didnt go your way imagine what amanda stahls parents went through this week when she shouldve been graduating they said it had been a very rough week. and all they have is compliments and praise for all the pullers that were there and they cant imagine that people would drive 2 to 3 hours just to pull and support the scholarship again thank you for coming and pulling and thanks for all the whiners that stayed home and if your a 5020 or 6030 the class will be there next year ''BUT NO WHINERS'' really good pull for teenagers to have put it on. IF YOU THINK THIS IS ALOT OF WORDS AND YOU WANT TO COMPLAIN YOU CAN CALL CALEB 812-530-7609 JERRY 812-525-9261 IF STAHL FAMILY SEEN HOW YOU TALKED ABOUT IT THEY WOULD BE APPALLED. NOW GET OVER IT

We are just trying to prove a point. The 6030's and 5020's don't win every pull like you said they do. Yea they beat the tractor that won't tighten the chain. It has nothing to do with the girl that lost her life. We would have supported that charity 100%, but its the fact that you guys have to have your little chicken s*** rules that kept us from supporting. If I recall I think you guys were whining at a pull 2 years ago because the 6030's could pull in the mph. Its not about cubic inch or big block deeres in the mph, its about hooking it up and driving it. Therefore, look forward to seeing you boys in the future and can't wait to whip your international.
Lata on kids!!!

I agree with previous post. You done the best with what you had and you made money for a good cause. These "tiffs " happen at every pull. Trust me. Keep focused on the good stuff and please have this pull again. How many places can u unload on the city streets and not have to fite the mud. And not many pulls that dont charge admission. You cant please everyone. Losing a classmate im sure is a terrible thing. But keepn her spirit alive through this event is a great thing to do.

IN IH 1466	Deereman grow up it was never about red or green it was for a good cause to benefit a scholarship fund in memory of a young girl they just seperated the classes so that true farm stock tractors could come pull im sure that no one there missed you or your whining buddies! Reply Quote

	Re: Freetown truck and tractor pull June 14, 2010 09:41AM
Was there	I thought the open class with no 6030s was a great thing. I know that some of the tractors in the class had bigger motors but it was still a close class. Reply Quote

To the people arguing that this is a farm stock class, and engler hitches and tube frames should not be allowed.
I was a spectator at the pull, and upon reviewing the tractors, It came to my attention that I would suspect that over 90 percent of the tractors there are not even used for farming. And if I was guessing, several of the owners are not even farmers. So quit your whining.

I also thought that it was a good pull despite the weather, but who ever ran it made the best of it. Look foward to coming back next year, maybe with a tractor.
