I think, if you talk to most of us oldtimers, this is how tractor pulling started in our areas. My first time was in 1972 in the 9900 lb class on a dead weight (stone) boat on my Dad's 180. 20' was a full pull and you got 2 hooks to go the 20'. There were over a dozen tractor's in my class and I got 2nd. I was immediately hooked (no pun intended!).I don't remember anyone getting that much of a chance to get the boat moving, but we were talking about field stock farm tractors at that point. In 1973, we started pulling on the weight transfer sled. It was definitely the roots of tractor pulling and usually started over a neighbor rivalry of "my tractor can pull more than your tractor...) |

The annual tractor show at Sunnycrest Orchards in Sharon Springs NY started out with the old stone boat dead weight pull. It was that way a few years before it got big enough to get a transfer sled. We used to go full track length(if you could) pulling both directions. Don't recall anyone ever using this technique though. ------------- "My name is Lionel and I'm an Allisoholic" |

| Around hear we started with step on sleads and believe that lasted into the late 80`s. It ended. With a puller getting his ankle roled under the pan... dead weights make absolutely no sense to me.. |

I am the owner of that D17. We are from Michigan that is a high popular sport here. There are pull all over hear. Yes it is hard on the tractor. The only thing I have broke is Right and left hand final drives only because I had 24.5-32 on it and tried bouncing it. There are two ways to get the boat moving one is to bounce the other is to do a high flying wheely then bring it back down so u will brake the boat loose. We pull up words of 700%. If you guy are intested in seeing more of this pulling go to MMOGTA.org or on facebook at Michigan cement pullers.

| As mentioned above, it's very popular here in Michigan. Technique and being able to read the track and tractor balance is very critical, it sorts out the talent and wannabes in a hurry and the video of the above is not the way to do it. It's not hard on the tractor, when I was pulling dead weight a lot, we would do at least two pulls every week for most of the season and more during fair time, pulling two or three weight classes at each pull, and I never broke anything, and one clutch lasted seven years. The big deal here is that you have to get it moving before you can pull it, there is no gradual increase in weight like a transfer sled has. Once you think you have it all dialed in, then make the switch to steel and start all over again, it's a real art to be smooth on Tip-Toe steel when the percentage starts to approach 250 or 300 %. |

I'd think an old case-o-matic slip'n slip s'more would rule this type of event.....or maybe it'd never move. ------------- "see what happens when you have no practical experience doing something...... you end up playing with calculators and looking stupid on the internet" |

Ken from MI You are wrong that is how you make the boat move on cement. How dirt is a different thing. Cement take a lot of horsepower rough rides and maybe alittle screw loose behide the wheel. I have pull all different kinds of pulling. And cement is by fare the most fun pulling you will ever do. Theres alittle steel wheels for you. |
