Thanks for your suggestions.But I had previously decided not to pull, without your wonderful guidance.As far as the complaining, there are plenty of people that share my opinion. First, are you a member? Have you pulled with NATPA lately? Ok, go to Columbia, lets seeif you have the same opinion, when you return. 15-20 tractors were in line for tech inspection, 1 IH tractor was parked to the side of the line with no driver,after going over the other tractors with MICROSCOPE,the driver shows up and is allowed to pass with little or no checking,even thuogh his tractor was the subject of huge controversy, this driver was a board member!!!I winessed this myself!!I was not allowed to pull because my hitch was off 3/16 and my wheels were 3/8 to wide, (these were factory metric wheels)I went home made the corrections, only to be told a couple weeks ago, I couldn't pull with NATPA.The reason being my tractor is to new,there is no documentation to substntiate this ruling, neither do I have any to prove it,I have sent for manuals from germany, but have yet to receive them. I WILL pull when I get them!! As far as the money goes, most REAL tractor pullers don't care about the money, they just enjoy it.If my estimations are correct, you might get 50 dollars for 1st place with all the classes!! Don't spend that all in one place , EINSTIEN!! If you have to win to pull, maybe we could take up a few donations for you, just let me know. The point is : NATPA needs to be fair and consistant!! Have a good day.
