It DOESN'T mention your organization either? Cause I am open to new options to hook my tractor this summer. I may be ahead of myself though and assumed that in addition to your pointing out the short comings of Outlaws that you had a viable solution for me as well.

Hey I think Bill and Jason knows what they need to or not need to do. But I thank them for all the dedication with both tractors.
I remember in 2004 we pulled into broadbent with the Horse and were second hook and first hook was one of Roberts diesels with the new sheet metal and looked like his alky's (this is not a knock on Roberts just an observation that helps the anecdote). Rober

I don't know much about machine work but it does fascinate me to learn about it. So bare with me if this is a simple question, but do you order your steel heat treated already or do that process after the rods are made? And is the heat treating process necessary?
Also what can a guy do or not do with stock crankshafts as far as heat treating and hardening them goes? Thanks.

That's 1990 and remember the boat they used in those days. Not the sleds that let you get running today.

Jake don't take this personally but some of you're ideas work well in a vaccuum. This stuff has to actually be bought and sold in the real world. We all want to see another $150,000/tractor class go down the track but who is going to build for it, and where are you going to sell it?
You like to say 60's technology and I take a little offense to that because if I can take a 400

NONE! We don't need any more classes period.
Adding a 77 Pro class here would make as much sense as you adding a 10 Pro class there.
If you have $100,000 - $150,000 laying around to build a tractor isn't LSS, USS, DSS, SF, LimPRO, 10 PRO enough for options?
But if you want to spend $50-$70,000 and win, and want a small cube motor and bigger single charger what class should

Jake,
I don't believe the goal of a class like this will be "new" technology becasue if you want to spend the money to R and D that stuff pick a class that leaves it wide open for you to do so.
Run a poll... that asks that question.
Do we need a class like the European 7700 Pro class or a cast rear, oem head, 4.1 charger, p pump, 505 cu, 8500 lb max?
However the best way to word

How about cast rears, oem heads, p pump, 8500lbs, 4.X charger, 24's, and 505 cubes. I know that 7700 pro class works well in Europe, but they also don't have the 10,000 lb pro class or a DSS class at 8000. We don't need another $150,000/tractor class. If you are going to just run to the builders and get all the new billet stuff we already have those classes, they would welcome n

We use RPM Perfomance www.rpmperf.com talk to Randy if you call. I think it offers a lot for the money. We record 6 EGT's, 2 boost pressures, fuel pressure, water injection pressure, and RPM's. I know we can add one more pressure if we want to. Software is easy to use, they are very knowledgable and give great support. We can save 4 runs at a time, will manually engage or off of rp

I would love to pull a 505 class with p-pump and 4.X inch charger at no more than 8500 lbs. It would be fun to hook, you can run it to your personal budget, and there would be fan appeal.

Product may be up for debate but one thing is fact. John Deere was alot better managed and light years ahead on marketing. The marketing aspect alone is a tribute to the longevity of that company. Even bad products can be sold if the marketing is great. (not saying JD products are bad too, just a blanket statement for all products we buy everyday). Great example is McD's. Great marketi
