That is a very good artical. I was surprised to see Justin Shaffer's name in it he is a very good friend of my son they met in College. I have seen him pull once but never been to Portersville. When I saw pictures of his D-17 with all of that weight I couln't believe it didn't break into.

There are 3 ways to do job GOOD, FAST, CHEAP. YOU MAY CHOOSE 2. If its FAST & CHEAP it won't be GOOD, if it's GOOD & CHEAP it won't be FAST, and if its GOOD & FAST it won't be CHEAP!!!!

Great article,but it talks about early years as being 50's and 60's. The first tractor pull in the U.S. was in Bowling Green,Missouri in 1929. There was an article in Hook magazine but don't remember what year about this first pull. Thanks and have a good day. Gary
