Maybe the cubic inches should be LOWERED for BOTH fuels. And I know how that idea will go over. Like a lead balloon!

Wow that is a scary deal!! I have no idea what spring chart to use. But I have 4 turns on it of preload. I think while I increase to .085 clearance I will lower static springs to 3 turns aswell.
Yes it can be and I have only heard of that happening that one time but that's what I was told overcentering meant. Your best bet is to call Darrin Rursch at 309-795-1502. Explain to him w

Not sure they will grow bigger as much as when that happens the fingers were not long enough to begin with. Years ago(probably over 30 and someone chime in if I am not remembering this right) there was a diesel super somewhere that was loading after he had pulled. The clutch went over center and at that same time, the pump stuck open, the tractor went up on top of the gooseneck trailer and flippe

What does over centering mean? I have trouble it leaving around 4500 hard, I am at .065 release clearance with only 1 bolt/but and 2 slugs on the outer finger location. I am gonna try to open it to about .095... very curious what over center means
Overcentering means when the throwout bearing travel is PAST the clutch fingers reach when stepping on the clutch pedal and then the clut

As someone that has pulled 11,000 pro farm, and now pulls 9300 super farm, I can say that if you only spend $100k on a pro farm, you're not going to win or even sniff the front. That class is dying. You're looking way north of $150k to build a competitive pro farm, and for what, to pull in 1 state level organization!?!? 6 states have pro farm, and NONE of them have the same s

Possibly I don't understand what you are trying to accomplish. There isn't a small cube national level class. They are regional classes. There are member state orgs who have big cube 3000 rpm classes. So specifically what are you wanting?
Albert, I don't think they really know what they want other than some attention.

No different than borrowing money to buy a camper or boat. Only difference you have better chance to win your gas money back with tractor.
AMEN! SO TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I will also add that the tractors did not cause the demise of their farming operation. The gift of gab and their bankers believing that gab is what caused it.

There already is on the state circuits, super farm doesn't need a little brother on the national scale.
Agreed and there are too many tractor classes on the state circuits. Heck, why not just add a speed limit tractor class on the national scale also? I love tractor pulling, but this kind of bs wants me to have a 2wd truck because that class sticks to it's rules!

The only thing I would change in the light pro's would be limit the size of the turbine wheel size to a G trim. No component chassis. No sigma's. We already have a component pro stock class.You want component and Sigma's build a big pro stock. Can't understand why some are so eager to open up these classes to more money spending and unlimited horsepower. So

Illini State pullers also run both fuels together. 505 cubic inch limit on BOTH fuel types. Cast chassis alcohol WEIGHS 6000lbs. Cast chassis diesel weighs 6100lbs. LLSS alcohol or diesel can weigh 6250lbs. but they still have to meet the CUBIC INCH limit

Agreed. Saw little bad all is put a monster run down in Effingham. Right up there with the jd alcohol.
And that JD alcohol has nothing but respect for that allis also. I know that for a fact.
That track at Altamont was hard on all of us but we all went back to the trailers fine. That's not what I heard about the outcome from the night before.

I feel getting the smokers back in the LSS class makes for a much better show! Something that has been missing for a long time.
I am sure if you allowed a PS motor in the class and they did good it would not make the alcohol guys happy. The crowd may love it.
I don't know what the answer is to get a smoker competitive, but it could help grow the sport to have them runn

Open SS wasn't great, but diesel SS is just as boring, same tractors over & over. It is time to re-combine the classes, as both are dull and limping along. Wouldn't have been interesting to watch Ross vs Chizek tractors? Use weight to bring them closer if need be, but it's time to figure out a way to run them together again.
