Allowing cubic inch limits of 640 to 680 have actually killed the sport.
Someone tell me what ridged frame tractor every had a stock 680 cid engine.
The cost to build to that and hold together has put many people out.
We're 43+ years in now with a 680 limit in Pro Stock. It was a bad rule if your largest OEM engine was a 466 or smaller, or the engine architecture couldn

Some web bowsers for security purposes may require a web address with a suffix of https instead of the preciously used http.
Pulloffs address is and it may be getting flagged by those browsers.
Pulloff has not been hacked.
I use firefox, brave, and chrome as my browsers of choice across my devices and havent had any issue getting on pulloff.

So why did the non-component classes grow so fast this past decade? There are way more Light Pros and 4.1's than Prostock now. There are way more Light Limited Supers than Light Supers... probably more Light Limited Supers than both light and heavy diesel and alcohol superstocks.
Old chassis don't die, they get sold, parted out, and/or re-purposed for another class.

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.

Absolutely not. Not ever. For antiques or sub 300hp farmstocks, the pushdown starts making them spray spinout holes from chalkline to chalkline within a 10 foot window until the track becomes impossible to get past this. It makes for a terrible event for the pullers and is just pure laziness for those employing it as a strategy.

I'm unaware of Deere Corporate putting any money into sponsoring pulling (outside of local dealers sponsoring local pulls). From the business perspective, the amount of eyes Deere reaches sponsoring a golf tournament that is watched by millions of suburban households is probably more lucrative than sponsoring pulling which reaches thousands of "generally" rural households.

Tunica (Tunica Southern Nationals in Tunica, Mississippi) is 1200 to 1500 hooks, year in, year out. 29 states and Canada represented at that pull most years.
White Pine, Tennessee had 2000 hooks in 2018 or 2019 - a three-day event like Tunica.
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania had 1000 in 19 hours in 2019 if I remember the year correctly.

You may have to download a few and try them each out and see how well they work, There are a dozen Android apps that are highly rated and free to download. The greatest issues are the latency of the gps signa, the accuracy of the sled's monitor and the accuracy of the app itself - all the more reason to try out multiple apps.

Maybe they changed it to "Full Pull" because they ate going to start up Full Pull magazine again.
They have NO COMPETITION covering pulling in the print media arena.
And the betting just diversifies their portfolio.
