The lightest class was increased to 3750 so that there were more participants. Classes of one tractor are pretty boring. If you want the 3500 lb class whoever you are, bring it up at the meeting this spring and it can come back. Rusty Melhouse [Reply]  [No Email]

We don't have really any pulls around us other than a The Pontiac Threshermens and the Will County Threshermens reunions. We are looking for a place to play once in a while and have some fun! 3500lb in not a problem and I have pulled my Super C in 4000. Drop me a Email. shaggy@mchsi.com Thanks! [Reply]  [No Email]

It got to be the same tractors pulling in the 3750 and 4000 lb class, so it was pointless. The gentleman that pulls the DC Case was there (from the Bald Bluff club) and said that they would follow suit. At the same time I don't get to see all the pulls but it seems like from what I've seen, that a 3500 lb class would benefit them. There were several Oliver 60's, Farmall C's, VAC Case's and such(at that time) that either had to pull light or put on 600-1000 lbs to meet the weight of the lowest class. It seems like the lighter classes are getting more popular in some places. Easier to store, easier to transport. I haven't been to very many pulls recently, has there been much interest shown in the Bald Bluff area? We're thinking about going to Sigourney this year as spectators, will you or your dad be there?

I have not received a mailer yet, but we should discuss going back to a 3500lb class. I am all for throwing fewer weights as well. If it will get supported then by all means. I am sure dad will be @ sigourney w/ the A, but I will be out of the country that week. This will be the second yr in a row I missed it. It is a great pull though. Rusty [Reply]  [No Email]
