It's both. The puller 2000 10 ply (they will have a small circle on the side wall that has a 10 in it) are heavier considered 10 ply. My old puller 2000 tires that have been cut on for 13 years weigh about the same as a set of HP tires that have only been rounded then cut about twice. From what I have heard the HP tires are considered 8 ply.

We were told that the building has much better ventilation now than it did when the last pull took place.

I've gotten the impression that there is more to come on this subject,likely not until the banquet. I do know that it was discussed in most of the class committee meetings.

Bob, I think you bring up some valid points. I have been on both ends of the lineup situation at B.G. Usually you end up in a large cluster no matter what you do,teems that have multiple vehicles don't have much choice but to bring two or more vehicles to the scale,with one being very early. There are those that will go to the scale very very early then go someplace out of the way to fall

I have pulled the sleds in the Midwest mostly and on most of the tracks I have to drive my tractor out 50 or so feet and often go in the 320' range. When we go down to N.C. to pull the sled we use gives us a lot of hitch right at the start. That is fun but the problem becomes stopping us on the big end of the track. I often go 360' to 390'. When they let us get that good of a h

From what I'm hearing there will be more tractors and more hooks for next year. There is a proposal to add more money to the class for next year but time will tell if this will happen. I think the main reason most RN pullers don't step up to the class is that they would need to step up to bigger blowers,then run only two engines at the RN events. It can be done with 8-71 blowers but

When I was pulling my first tractor in about 1977 I was at a pull in Osgood,In. The Bob brothers were there with their D-21. When they were pulling the SS class they need a tractor to add weight to the sled. I volunteered to do it with my Oliver 88. I had to pull on the sled pan when they were pulling, then drive off of the pan so the sled could be towed back to the starting line. I would ju

We had a good time at the Rossville pull,it was our first time to hook there. It's a very unique place to hook. The only thing that would have helped from our perspective would have been to have two scales. There was a very long line and it made some of us very late to the track. Thanks for running the Lt. Unlimited tractors.

I didn't say I had straight pipes,I have mildly loud pipes but even so I try not to make noise when around any houses, in town or in the country. You totally missed my point,just because I like a certain level of noise some others don't so I try not to impose my likes on others. I guarantee you that you have not had me blast past your house making a lot of noise on a bike no matter wh

I enjoy any kind of pulling as much as anyone and I really like watching the SS diesel trucks but I must admit that I don't like Rollin Coal on the streets. We were on our way home from an event one evening,as I drove down a two lane I was followed be about 5 trucks. When I got to a hill with a passing lane these trucks passed me as fast and hard as they could,I literally could barely see

So far we have had 8 each night in Fairlea,Wv and 9 each session in Tomah,Wi although the first session was rained out. I would think there should be 7 to 9 tractors depending on if the Ferry Bro. come west and if the twin Allison tractor makes it out again.

If they are trying to hide them they aren't doing a very good job because from what I read they were at the PPL pull in Greenville this weekend. They were also in Wilmington last week.

I remember once upon a time I was at the Indy Super Pull. A guy named Keick or something close to that had a Ford 8000 that had won the NTPA 7000 LBs SS points for the previous year. Ed Johnson said that he had run the whole previous summer without as much as pulling off a valve cover. I don't think any puller in any class can do that any more. We all push our engines and drive line par

Julie,
I wish we could have been there for your debut in the mod class looks like you had a good first outing. We really missed coming to your event this year,we dicided to run the Lt class this year so we went to Hazel Green to run Tarry's truck and got to look at the rain and mud Instead. The top engine wasn't quite ready for the Feissty tractor. Good job,hope to see you in Tomah.

First off if you read what I said, I was very supprised that the testing wasn't more detailed. Like when you take a CDL driving test.
I'm not sure where you get that we use the roads free of charge,I pay plenty of taxes for fuel,state taxes...this list could go on for a long long time. Every tax payer helps pay for the federal highway system through their federal taxes. Truckers p

I guess the middle ground I'm talking about is some sort of license that would test your skill at handling your rig but not having to follow all of the rules of a commercial trucking company. Most truckers I have talked to hate all of the regulations that they have to follow so why do you think pullers would embrace them? And yes I know your answer is going to be, protection from liability

I think most of us know we are pushing the envelope but I also think there needs to be a middle ground between what we do and what truckers do. I put on 10 to 12 thousand miles a year they do that in two weeks. I often wonder about Gospel groups that make money and travel the same as we do,in an RV...are they going to get the same treatment?

That is the lamest thing I have heard in a long time,I'm a pretty good tractor puller but I don't know the first thing about running a machine shop. I can do a lot of other things pretty well but none of them have to do with building tractor parts. I suppose you are going to tell us next that you can build your own SFI approved clutch!

We also have a system one on our TWD and have no issues with leaks. They are a little messier than the Oberg type filter and the Oberg is much quicker to check.

The advantage is that you can pull it apart quickly to see if you have any problems with bearings or other engine issues. You can do this between passes.

I remember the person next to me said he does that all the time and kinda rolled his eyes. Another tractor that I remember seeing in about 1977 was a tractor called Bull Shippers Express, it was a co-op with a V-8. He hauled it in a gooseneck cattle trailer. I allways thought that that was a clever name.
