Chris, Save yourself some headaches and frustration and save your money for college. Just Kidding,but Tractor pulling is a money game, and the faster you want to go the more it cost. I think the most cost affective pulling tractors are some of the later two lunger John Deere's like a 620-630 or 720-730. You can get one running well stock, and then just run it in first gear, usually having a nice old pulling tractor for around 4 to 5 thousand dollars. However, they are slow, and unless you are on sticky tracks not the most competitive. from there it's just a matter of how fast, and consistant puller you want to be. Any brand can be made to pull. I like Olivers, because they are also kinda cheap, before modifications start. I know what other people say about the big bore 4 cylinders having more lug, than the 6 cylinder, but I like the scream of a good oliver 6 cylinder. It's all personal preference. I guess it all depends on what type of pulling, and how you want to do it. If I were you, I'd find a club that pulls as close to stock rules as you can get, and pull on their circuit. That way you can buy what you want and be competitive. other than that it's all a money game, and brand names mean nothing. I like gas tractors, because I understand them better,but again it's just my personal preference. When you figure out what your going to get post back. I'm sure there's enough information on this board to help with all the needed modifications. Later Greg H.
