Oh come on you're all giving us "Fake" news. Just kidding. Fuel and interest rates are so cheap and the banks are advertising for business "site unseen". So I think I'm going to plant 100x the acres of corn this year so I can pay the rent on what I usually grow.

Get him pedal pulling. My grandson actually ran the fair circuit pedal pulling with a lot of success until he was too old. He was already brain washed on color and hated to run a red one. lol

Rp that's what it's all about. I liked your story. My son never wanted to pull but helped with our tractor. My grandson (daughters son)started on a pedal tractor then a garden tractor and couldn't wait to get in the seat of the 4320 and now he now runs the 4455 Hot farm. It would be neat to get my granddaughters, youngest grandson and son in the seat at least once. Oh wait a minute

I was kind of of thinking like 1234 a catch up season. I also think some are in ag related business's so that should help them keep open. When I look at pulling it seems extremely trivial as to what happens or doesn't this year as in any sports. It's all just a hobby. Don't get me wrong I'm a pulling junky but there is a lot more to be concerned about.

On the local news today. The fair isn't until mid July. That fair is an Interstate points pull. I'm sure more will follow.

They run the JD Loose Cannon tractor. You can see pictures on their Facebook page. Good luck to them.

I got to know Henry and got a tour of his farm. Floyd is only 30 miles west of me here in Pa.. We pull at his event at the Burlington Motorsports park. I used to pull at Mt. Upton's cancer benefit pull but never pulled in Western NY. yet. We had a lot of fun at Mt. Upton.

Oh yea you pickup/ truck pullers can join in too. I pulled a bone stock 97 F-250 gas and got an 11th out of over 30. Thought I did real well so the next time I tried a few things and got nothing but a noise in the right front wheel area. I never told my wife about the noise which was still there when I traded it a few years later. Never pulled a pickup again. No guts I guess.

Interesting threads . What about the rest of you pullers ? Don't be shy. I like this better than what's wrong with pulling and the virus.

I started out with my dad's "big" tractor at the time a Farmall 460 D in 1976. The local IH dealer hauled it for me with an old rollback and I prayed all the way to and from the pull that we got it home in one piece. The roll back was in worse shape than any farm truck we ever had. I didn't pull again until the early 80's with my own big tractor at the time a JD 3130 (2840) bone st

I don't know where you're at but Forrester's out of Chambersburg Pa. would be my go to for Fords. When we pull and see a Ford tractor with a Forrester sticker on it our farm stock and hot farm tractor gets the shakes. They have a lot of good running tractors in a lot of classes.

I can't answer the question for NTPA or any national organization. I have no idea where an NTPA event is held any where near me in Northeastern Pa.. I know locally there have been several attempts to have a stand alone pull without the support of a fair. All have failed. These events had East Coast, NYTPA, Empire State and Interstate tractors and trucks. Very low fan attendance provided les

Buzzard those are the Interstate Pro -farm rules (not sure about the turbo rule without looking at the rules). Hot farm is no cooler of any kind, 466, 3x3 Borg Warner #177101 turbo, A pump max. Complete rules are on Interstate Tractor Pullers web site. We run a cooler on our Hot Farm so were not eligible to pull.

The class is Interstate 466 with no cooler. Most other Hot farm classes have coolers, higher cubes or other rules.

Check on their web site Keystone Nationals Truck and Tractor Pull. I don't know how to direct link it for you. I just checked it out. The Hot Farm Class has drivers listed but class is not on the schedule.

I've always liked the 680 PS class but it's getting crazy having all the other PS classes. Then you throw in different rules for different clubs and wow. It's like the song says I'm not sure I can tell the difference between Iraq And Iran.

I was pulling at Mt.Upton NY a long time ago and some gas mini tractors where running too. I asked about the cost to build one and a driver told me his motor was around $20,000 and that was a gaser. Hard to believe.

Those dang Fords. Lol. Thanks for the video. It would be neat to see what setups they run. There was Deere running in open garden tractor pulling here in northern Pa. a few years ago. He ran too good for them I guess.

I watched the 2 video's and the term altered and farm stock plus others like pro-farm etc. mean way different things across the country. That's why it's hard to pull outside your local/state area. You don't know how you match up class for class. The video of CodyE looks like our Hot farm class but we run a lot smaller turbo and an A pump max. The IPA farm stock looks like the
