Re: Missing Tomah Mods - 2 months ago

Quotegrubby The rules are different between the two sanctions that would mean Walsh's would have to make some changes in order to run NTPA. They didn't want to change things just for one pull. Dan was there in attendance. What would they need ro change? There were several PPL CT-comitted mods at Tomah.

Re: Missing Tomah Mods - 2 months ago

QuoteBrandonA The Walsh's are set up to pull with the Pro Pulling League who has not had a pull for the modified tractors yet this year. I think Henry IL in 3 weeks is the first one. (PPL schedule this year is a bit odd, though I assume its because they lost several of their June pulls (Benson and Farley). Mauston, WI is about 20 miles from Tomah. Leischner won an unlimited hook at Tomah j

Innovative designs over the years - 3 months ago

What are some of your favorite out-of-the-box idea over the years? Some that come to mind- City Slicker chain drive. Wheeler Rittinger's last tractor (didn't he put driveshafts for each motor), and when Art Arfons tried a totally different tread pattern. Ralph Banter moving the driver around and even mounting an engine between the back tires. Milt Bergman's 6 engine tractor wher

Positive NTPA news - 3 months ago

One unrelated question is why don't more tractor manufacturers get involved in the sport? I understand the issue Deere had in the early 1970s, but the days of factory pulling engine blueprints have long since passed. Should pullers seek out and reward manufacturers who are willing to get involved, even if that means stepping back from John Deere? Just posing a question. Cash-IH announceme

Legends tractors @ Half Century of Progress show - 4 months ago

I see the Legends group has this on their schedule. Most of the tractors are in Ohio, but I was wondering if in addition to the Ohio tractors, any Illinois or other midwest vehicles may run? Is this invitational, or could any vehicle meeting the legends criteria hook at this event? If the Bosse tractor and tank tractors can run with Doug Bend and Larry McVey, that would be neat to see.

The foundation of modern pulling - 4 months ago

The Bosse Bros. and their crossbox invention changed the game for the mod class more than any other single innovation. The Allison Team and Ralph Chamberlain, followed a few years later by Art Arfons, opened a new horizon of powerplant to the sport. In the SS class, I'd put Ron Perry and Dave Stangle in this same tier. The Conner Bros and Brent Long may never have done what they did were

? for pullers about joining an association - 4 months ago

How many hooks does your class need to have before you feel like it's worth it to join an association or member state? I understand a small local association that charges $40 to join may be a different calculation than several hundred $ like NTPA for example.

If you could send a tractor to Europe? - 4 months ago

Pre-Covid, the European pullers would alternate between inviting a mod and super stock for the European Super Pull. I'm not sure if US pullers will ever get invited to Europe again, but if I could pick a Super Stock to cross the pond, I'd choose Ross's Triple Bypass. It would be cool to see him run against the top European tractors. As far as mods, cannot remember who has alre

New unlimited from New York? - 4 months ago

This isn't one that changed hands but a new build. The Pullers Championship webpage shows a pic of a new tractor for Dylan Owens. He'll run 4 at this event, but the photo looks like it would hold 5 if we could see a right front engine. Is one or both Owens tractors planning to run unlimited this year?

Full Pull Productions RWYB - 4 months ago

FPP manages to keep things fairly competitive in their Run What You Brung class. If they could do it, surely OSTPA could. FPP not only has blown and SSD trucks, but n/a fwd modified trucks including mountain motor, PSD trucks, limited diesel and even had a nitrous truck at one time. I am not sure of weight breaks, hitch heights, or if they adjust these, but there are all kinds of videos.

OSTPA question - 4 months ago

I noticed the SSD FWD trucks are sanctioned in their own class this year after running with the SMFWD class. Out of curiosity, how many regulars does OSTPA anticipate? Are the diesels still allowedto hook the SMFWD class, or were they booted out? Having blown and smoke together made for an interesting class. Was it that the 7500lb trucks were gaining too much on the blown trucks?

QuoteFan 2 sf outperforms nothing in any era! The fact you have to go back 50 years to compare a class shows what a joke it is! I bet a super farm would outpull a 466 hot farm. No disrespect, but 174 ci difference is a lot to overcome.

If I could wave a magic wand and make one permanent rule change for single charger classes, it would be any tractor could run the fuel that it ran from the factory. This would be from hot farm up through pro stock. I'm not sure when the diesel only rule came into being, but am under the impression Cespedes has a grandfather clause if he runs NTPA.
