It depends on the rules of the track you are at, the sanctioning body, and/or the local club that is sponsoring the event. In just about all situations you will be using low gear, second gear will be too fast, and you will break the speed limit, and be disqualified.

PAT,a lot of things come into play when and if your pulling in compition,2nd gear is a good place to start but tire size is a big issue also horse power if you have a stock engine and stock tires you will do well in 2nd gear any alterations in the above will effect the way your tractor pulls. Good luck pulling and have fun.Just a word of caution, please think real hard about your tractor flipping over backwards it happens to the best of us.Paul.SMTA Puller.

I pulled the old H a few years ago and I pulled in second gear. I played around with it at home first by chaining it to the pickup and dragging it around the field backwards with the brakes all locked till I got the right gear and speed. I just happened to have a hard packed field road that is similar to a dirt pulling track. My 10 year old son had a fun time in the pickup with me draging him around. What I found out is you want the fastest gear you can spin the wheels sitting still in the dirt like on the track. Too low a gear and you won't have enough momentum and too high of a gear and you run out of power. You just need to take it out and play with it. The tractor ,that is!

first gear you won't have enough power for any other gear unless it is hopped up considerably
