2.4 is generally a good size.
The lock to lock is more accurately determined by the cylinder bore & rod size, travel length of cylinder, as well as the steering arm length on your spindle.
It's not as simple as saying XX size helm will always be XX turns lock to lock.

For the record, Super Farm and many types of Hot Farm are already past that 1500 mark.
But I'll go a step further.......almost ANY class should have the option to be component. No reason to punish someone who wants to build for serviceability and parts commonality/availability. That is called spending wisely.

$40 a session for live stream seems like enough.
The argument about royalties and everyone in the chain taking a cut....that is entirely possible, I don't know. The argument about camera and equipment cost to allow a livestream...... I will simply say this - they have been filming this pull for many years (on screens in the building, replays, DVD sales), cameras being present isn't

"Double kudos for making the pictures so small on the website you can't actually read the wording on them."
Couldn't agree more. Important information and it is not presented in a format that is useful. A little disappointing.
Also the wording of these rules is very confusing at times.
I can see some pullers/teams having to do this at least 3 times (beginning with last August a

"I think that the statement that pulling has to many classes needs to be looked at. It's really a 2 fold issue. Yes, at the national level I have to agree, we don't need to add anymore classes to an already confusing mixture of classes."
"However on the flip side of the same issue is state/regional pulling. Without the HF, Lt.PS, 4.1, LLSS, 2 engine mod, and so on there is NO state/r

It weighs 6000 (sometimes) with zero weights and me on it. No 30.5's for me....never has been.
I'm not interested in making a swiss cheese tractor.
Plan is to jump up to a different (heavier weight & larger ci) class rather than spend a fortune on trying to lose weight. That whole concept just doesn't work for me anymore. It sounded like fun several years ago......it's

"Back in the 1960s, the NTPA was formed precisely because different areas had different rules for similar classes . A guy was legal in one town but not in the next town over.
In the early days of NTPA, this was corrected with consistent class weights and safety rules."
Fair point.
Unfortunately it seems exceptionally difficult to do that with this class.
There was time I had a desire

Removing cast to the point of making it unsafe doesn't make it right.
Like I said, different regions/areas and different club/association dynamics are what drives the different weight limits.
Just back off and leave it alone.
Are we trying to grow pulling or are we trying to create division among pullers?
You have your ultra light weight utopia where you live. Not everywhere is t

"Class should be 5700lbs tops."
"Yes light ss was 5500, LLSS started out 5700 and was raised to 6000. 6200 ,,6500, is not light when 4 turbo SS tractors are running 6200.Always changes just choose a tractor thats 300 pounds lighter if the weiht is needed , If someone chooses a 14,000 pound tractor to fit a 6000 pound class THERE PROB WILD RIDES AND WRECCKS ARE MORE ENTERTAINING THAN FULL PULLS

Not saying it won't work, just questioning how well shrouded valves flow is all.

55 series head with stock 404 bore won't work......unless you notch the sleeves for the valves.....and even then, the question is what benefit is the larger valve/flow when you are shrouding the outer edges so badly. This head obviously will work great if running 466/7.6L.
Yes, the 6.8L engine has a nice bore stroke combo, but finding the head with the bolt on box type intake is very diff

The synchro has a dry clutch from the factory, saves you buying a bell housing for that purpose. I stand corrected these are all wet clutch.
You will not be able to do a Profab box trans inside the housing you are speaking of.

Attended for the first time this year. WOW! What a well organized event. Excellent job by everyone here. Sled settings were good. Show kept moving and sessions were over at reasonable times.
Great job by the announcing group. Charles was quite adept at providing insider info on breakage and other key events that happened on the track. It was nice to have a one on one chat with him there Friday

It's considered a small block.......it's about bore spacing.
531/619/10.1L are different bore spacing.
CI number does not dictate big or small block designation necessarily.
Do you call a 540 Navistar a "big block" because of its cubic inch? (Not that IH has this same phenomenon anyways....)

Unfortunately DOT hassles will probably prevent most Ontario pulling vehicles from competing stateside.
Recent incidents have shown it's not worth the hassle to cross with a hauler and competition vehicle. It has become cost prohibitive.
Truly unfortunate.

If you have been to the Langford pull before, you would understand why some are disappointed it wasn't able to be all it can be.
It's an awesome venue with one of the best chicken dinners you can buy, and the beer is priced right!

Canadian fans will be there in full force I’m sure. We’re starved for this event.
As for pullers, that is more complicated. If I had to guess, there will not be as many participating as previous years. The reasons are many and complicated. Time will tell.
