Badger State Tractor Pulling are moving forward with the season schedule for 2021 . You have too hope that there will be some kind of pulling next year , and move forward and adapt like we did this year .

I think with the lighter weight, the components would have an advantage because of the moveable weight of the component versus the ag chassis. When you watch videos of the 6000 lbs class , most could use another 2-300 pounds of front weight.
As for pullers in the LLSS class , I have had some say they would park it too. The LLSS pullers , I have found that they like to be on the the same page

If pullers of the LLSS class what to pull at these places, you need to voice this to the promoters . Call them , email them , this past season , I had a puller call and asked about a pull, I picked up the phone and asked if was possible. The worst that can happen is they say no .

First off this comment should have been with the rest of the 4.1 comments . Second how does it effect the BSPT shows? Silver series we're only at Hillsboro , Freeport and Mackville which were all PPL championship tour.

Before Badger State allowed them in our class ,that's what we wanted them to do . At that time they didn't want too. So I guess if they want to pull with them , that's what they'll have to do

They just threw one of there members under the bus with this suspension rule. The guys have been pulling with WTPA in wisconsin for a few years now with air bag suspension and won points. So if NTPA decided to have this class at Tomah , they couldn't pull in there own back yard

I have talked with David Beahr when he was on the WTPA board and rep for the LLSS . He went to Indiana and discussed these rules . And didn't like the 3.4 charger rule. But others got it passed. I think your talking to a dead horse on the 3.4 rule . Because they think a 410 on 3 by 4 charger with map ring an cooler make the same hp. Because of the 2020 season I really didn't see anythin

I am all for safety. But in the last post , isn't gouging the rear end defeating the purpose of the product just to make it lighter? So who is at fault when something breaks? The builder or the manufacturer ?

This class doesn't need components. Move up to light supers if you what components.

I often wondered the same thing. Why can't all diesels in the LLSS class run 3.4 charger?

Glad to see a detailed set of rules. My guess any state or club tractors should fit these rules .

I have talked with the guy putting this on. He's not making any rules for his buddies. It's a new venue, owns a excavating business , track had to be built , so give the guy some slack.

A lot of this is State level purse too. If we were running the PPL Western Series LLSS class purse it would have been $4200 . So I understand the NTPA and PPL has its differences . Just some people trying to put a good show on , so come enjoy some pulling.

I think the last post kinda hit the nail on the head . How many would make that commitment to travel all summer long ? But if the opportunity does come to show PPL or NTPA ,we need to show them . Maybe this year is a some what of that . PPL Western Series still has a few pulls on yet for the class . We have a few guys putting pulls together now . There's not many , but numbers do get noticed

The PPL Western Series also has a set of rules. I know there not the same as the NTPA rules . As Dick Morgan stated they need to be the same unified rules in PPL and NTPA . And as Brent stated , the WTPA and a group I think in either Indiana or Ohio come up with some kind of agreement of rules to be GN class .

I agree with Bryan. Now before everyone gets all excited, just listen . What will it take if it was made GN class ? I believe a unified set of rules, that NTPA and PPL members agree on . I don't want to be like super farm and have a different set of rules for each association. I believe the National Rules are good, but need to be looked over and made official rules. Things have changed in

What most people don't understand that the virus is here, and will be . Now we made a decision , based on what we know now, instead of what if's or what could be. Right now Wisconsin is allowing 50 people max for a gathering. When will this change , no one knows. Illinois is at 10 or stage 3 . Stage 4 allows only 50 and stage 5 is open with a vaccine found. Kinda makes it hard to get pu

Jake, ok what if the middle man is gouging the consumer and the farmer at the same time who's to regulate that if you want the government not involved? And this is for all products , fruits and vegetables, beef , pork and dairy.

I have a stanchion Barn, milk about 45 cows , enough for a one-man job , kids have no interest , so no use of expanding. Running about 85 pounds of TMR per day per cow. I don't push them because our milk company went to a quota system 4 years now. Feed cost is around 2250.00 and at 17 dollars per hundred , a milk check after deductions is about 3400 a month . So not alot wiggle room , but al

Dick as you stated earlier, about farm subsidies and getting rid of them . I agree , but the government needs to do something to get the middle man out of the farmers pockets. I dairy , so last month did some numbers which involves are prices compared to the price in the local stores. Now this was at 17 dollars per hundred we were getting . 2.49 a gallon which is 8.6 pound in store . Which takes
