Slo - Thanks for the kind words! The Triple is nearly ready to roll out of the shop doors. We will hopefully be cuttin' her teeth at Sigourney, Columbus, and probably Murray, KY. If anyone has any questions on the H260 engine and related mods to that engine, drop me an email. As far as pulling the tractor, I have read many good suggestions made by others in this thread. I would tend to follow their advice. The name of the game to figuring out a new tractor is to pay attention to details! Record tire pressures, weight placements, track conditions, and the results. Review and record this information every time you weight the tractor for a class. This will help you develop a "feel" for how your tractor reacts to different changes to the setup. Also be sure to put your drawbar as close to the limits of the rules as possible, as those limits are there for a reason! The only thing that I have seen in this thread that I don't necessarily agree with is the comment about Firestone Field and Road tires. These are the preferred tires of most pullers and if you watch what the winners are running in your area, you will most likely find that they are using Firestones. If you are having problems getting them to hook, then some parameter of their installation needs changed: 1. Air pressure
2. Rim width
3. Lug height
4. Lug profile (cut) In my experience, there is an exception to the Firestone tires being the superior tire: Uncut tire classes. The F and R tires do not perform well in uncut tire classes. For this type of class, it has been my experience that the 45 degree treads are better (for uncut tire classes only!). Hope this helps! Regards, Masseypuller
