A fantastic array of classes are on the dance card for fans and a greatly improved track awaits pullers to get a final outdoor hook in for 2024.

There are some great track crews in the world of pulling and yoa select few are as well prepared as the Blue Shirts. They have gone from having a creek running down the side of the south track to pulling a few hours later.
Don't count them out. Watching them work the track back together is a show in itself.

I have typed and deleted on this a couple times and it boils down to a balancing act of interests, for my case anyway. My wife is a quilter and a baker; so, whenever we're headed to a pull she's scouting out quilt stores and I'm happy to stop and let her take a look..or if she sees a bakery she wants to visit, we stop. She gets something out of the trip as I do, its not a one-way

Such a loaded question, and as Patches offered, if I were using one daily its an 1850 with the Perkins for me - I rode on the fender and eventually drove one many a day as a kid.
The Oliver platform is such a plug and play chassis you can go in any direction...and precisely why you see so many Cummins re-powers today.

Former puller Joel Armistead gave me a thumb drive this weekend with the linked video below on it with only one request - to share it with everyone.
I'm glad to do so, it is vintage pulling at the Robertson County Fairgrounds from the late Seventies, he believed it was 1979.
While you're recovering from Farm Show Week as I am, take a moment to watch this glimpse into the past.

2023 List came out on 12/14/22 if I remember right
2022 and 2020 lists (2021 was a COVID scratch) were out 12/9/21 and 12/9/19 respectively.
Two weeks or so out release is a reasonable guess.

I wonder how many were consecutively serial numbered, of the 228 D21s that were there.
HCOP is such a neat event. It is a bucket list deal if you like tractors..
The pulling sessions kind of remind me of photos posted of the M&W pulls from back in the day.. A nice varied mix of pulling action.

Bryan, I'm familiar with Indian tractor pulling. No, that's not what the sport would look like in the U.S. Too many lawyers over here.
Remember we are in the age of social media; bombastic activities are the norm now. By your metric we shouldn't have no prep racing, burnout contests, and any other sketchy thing that happens...and yet here we are. Insur
