Something like 400/466ish would make things quite a bit simpler.

Who cares exactly how exact the calibration weights are. Have sled operators weigh 4 of their weights in the 1000-2000 each range, mark them clearly and permanently. Add the 4 together and use them to calibrate the scales.

Yes, because it's almost like we need more classes where you need to be 640+ to compete.
Every color has something that can reach 510 without too much effort.

Easy Lewis, all I said was that too much traction can hurt you. We both know that.

Having the rule based off rolling circumference at operating psi on whatever rim width it happens to be on would be much easier to tech.

They could check them at 3 psi, and if they're too big there my math skills says they're still gonna be too big at 10 psi.

The way the current rules seem to read, anything goes as long as it's under the current company umbrella. It seems to work and makes things more cost effective and easy. If you don't like it stay out of our class.

Don't let existing BFG tires influence the rules. Look how well that's worked out for cubic inches. If you make rules to accommodate the odd 10%, it basically screws the other 90%.

The circumference figures you're giving are somewhat deceiving. You're comparing apples to oranges. These figures you're giving for Firestone and BFG are new uncut tires. Cut a 227" tire to get a bar design like what you're tires offer, and you're down under 220". Cut any production tire to a comparable bar to what you're tires have and yours will have a larger

If you are offering a 20.8 38 that has a 10 inch larger rolling circumference and a flatter footprint, it's most likely going to be dominant over any cut farm tire. Thus making your tires needed to compete vs the free-$500 wore out takeoffs with a $1000 cut job.
Don't get me wrong. they're a impressive piece. I myself am wondering if I could get away with them in classes t

The rod length is the same between 283's and 310's. Some of the indirect injection 283's used a straight cap design, but all the direct injection 283 rods are the same as a 310. The 310's had to go to a offset cap for clearance with the extra stroke. The pin height in the piston was where they made up for the stroke difference.

It's always wonderful to see brands being given favors due to undesirable traits in their design.
My X brand tractor can't reliably reach the cubic inch needed to be competitive, does that mean I get a handicap?

There's no comparison between the 6.6 and the 1006. The Sisu rods are way beefier, bigger rod journals, better head, ect. I don't have anything against the 1006, but it's not a comparison at all. I'm pretty sure AGCO painted a White 6125 red and put Massey decals on it, but I don't remember the model number. A 9240 used a 8.3, I believe it was a smaller version of t

Put it on the pto dyno, make sure the pto runs at least the correct no load speed, (600ish for 540, 1100ish for 1000) pull it down to rated speed and hold it there long enough to make sure it's not going to self destruct. Disregard the horsepower number it's making.
Let anything go as far as turbo's, engine swaps, ect is concerned. If it's legit able to be run at ful

1000 hp will require custom gears. I've got a stack of toothless stock gears here to prove it.
If you can, use a 1750/1800/1850 rear end. Much stronger and many more gearing options.

Well guys, your in luck for those of you who follow South Central LLSS rules it states 18.4x38 minimum tire size. The BOB rules states no minimum tire size. So for those on here with tractors who want to show us go for it.
I'd be up for that, except our rules state 23.1X34 minimum.

I think the tire size is a safety issue
If they run 18.4s, half the tractors or more would most likely be on they're side
I don't honestly think that would be a issue. I think they would be easier to control and go straighter with the smaller tire.

Based on my own personal experience and that of some of my customers driving 1000-1300 hp at 6500, no.

alcohols supers have 30's with 4 times the power. I would bet 18.4's would make them easier to drive.

Might as well required polished aluminum rims and fancy paint jobs if we're making rules that essentially cost money to look good.
