OK guys...

Wow great is this... so yesterday I took my 560 out in public for the 1st time :) Yes little nervous having all those people around tractor, but everyone was great. Was surprised with people's reactions toward the tractor.

So drove up to Princeton IL, to the Bureau County Fair... one that we used to pull at back in the day. Still have lots of family & friends up there, it was REALLY nice. Lots of people commented about the tractor, I think they thought it would not run as well as it did :) you know, "show tractor"

Think we could have done few more little things... added little more air pressure, ran some race fuel, etc etc Most of those other guys were doing that :) Our 560 ran SO good :)

So let's talk about the pull... guys tractor was AMAZING! Classes did not work 100% for us, they had 6K & 8K vintage classes. No big deal, as we weighed in at 7150lbs. No way we are going to adj weights, lol. So we ran expedition in 6K and also ran 8K class.

Pulled over 300', it was EPIC and tractor worked GREAT!

I must admit hearing that tractor pull SO well, applause from the fans was nice... good thing i had my sun glasses on, my eyes were tearful after that's for sure dad would have been proud.

What to thank Scott for pictures & Pete for video.

Here's video
