ones i should look out for

hey guys going pulling for the first time next weekend and will run the farm stock class, 10 percent over rpm 2.5 mph limit no cut tires things like that, any particular tractor i should look out for, ones that will give a wd a run for its money or flat out embaress it? here is the list of pullers from last year and there will more than likely be no more (well i guess one and thats me) and no less tractors there, meaning we expect everyone to show up that did last year http://www.ottercreekpullers.com/Ashton_Tractor_Pull.html, any of them that catch your eye? if there are so few people running the open class again we may run open just for a guarnteed trophy

What class are you pulling?

i may not have to worry about the farmalls very much, according to tractor data the farmal has a 2.6 mph first gear, meaning they go too fast so they have to throttle down a bit. the guys are very strict about speed, especially since not many are a fan of farmall

so throttling back is better? if you could explain that some more i would appreciate it, it just seems a little counter productive to me ( never done it before though, 1st time june22) i figured it was wide open and roar down the track

this is farm stock andar open class so farm stock will be first gear only and open maybe second depending on track condition

Okay but this would give the farm all a slight advantage given the drivers ability and if he or she has enough engine with there faster gear

Not sure if hes got it yet...This is how i pull as well. I run first gear in a 240ci motor and i run stock farm and we have a 3.5mph limit with a digital speed board. i also run 13.6x36 tires on one WC and 15.5x38 on the other. Now i am only about half or a little better throttle comming down the track and i watch my speed and keep bumping the throttle a little more to keep it as close to 3.5 as i can, more momentum and speed will get you farther and one you start slipping your right on the throttle were you need to be.

post it couirious what it looks like.

 it looks like your main competition will be other AC tractors.

But it looks like your main competition will be other AC tractors. good news, the coop e3 wont be running my class anymore as it has had a 305 v8 swap so it cant run in the same class as me. it is also for sale on craigslist so if anyone wants to but a v8 coop e3 ask and I will get the link for it

305!! LOL those things are boat anchors. I wonder why someone would go threw that amount of work and put a useless engine in it. he must not wanna win.

NO!! It's the spam post right after your post and right before my "reported".

Nope, it's still there. The post by "Mickel" is Spam
