There are alot of good tractors that could pull those classes but wont enter them. Any farmall over 500 cu should be able to run them classes. [Reply]   [No Email]

I'm just saying.LOL   [Reply]  [No Email]

(tongue very much in cheek here) I suspect it's a combination of reasons; 1) they are running out of weights, 2) they are running out of room to hang more weights on their tractors, 3) they've already had their talk with the DOT officer, 4) they already blew the budget on entry fees for all the classes from 4500# up through 6500 (six classes including the jackpot), 5) they are tired after throwing around all the weights (probably more than once because of two tracks running mixed weight classes, etc.), 6) they really aren't worried about beating up on some one who can't pass up a cart of corn dog's with their name on it for a can or two of Slimfast (yes, I could use more than a few cans mself) and a salad or vegetable dish. Dave, is that your hand I see raised volunteering to throw the extra weights around? Thank you! Seriously, most of the MM's and Deere's you referred to can pull down to 500 or 5500 if they want to. Many places do not run the heavier classes or only a couple turn up.   [Reply]  [No Email]

All you have to do is ask. I know there are alot of bigger engines than mine pulling at every pull. I just dont understand why the Farmalls dont get in there and pull. Those John Deeres and Molines can be beat.   [Reply]  [No Email]
