Will never get back to "normal" As long as outsiders keep coming in and playing court jesters and hassling others for no reason. One fella in particular, has 2 IP addresses,,, from indy and at or around atlanta IN. I dont start many topic threads much anymore,,, just for that reason, used to have one or two a week, good discussions on the how to's but that fella keeps comming back like a bad penny,,,,, he likes me,,,,, if not why the obsession???
So I respond to the guys who ask the questions, instead of posting topics, it seems to work out best that way,,,
I know of a method of pulling that will separate the stocks from the mods,,,,, and in a hurry too!
DEADWEIGHT!!! Or tug pulls, or jerk pulls, many names and known bout anywhere pulling has been going on for over 50 years!!! Deadweight pulling, can be a dangerous sport if one goes into blind. Safety is a must and wheelie bars are manditory,, cause the front end comes up a little higher than normal like transfer sleds,,, its a method of pulling that the stockers dominate!!!!!
The sled is not on wheels, you get no running start. Just a large ski type bobsled, with huge concrete blocks stacked on it, one round at a time.
3 tractors in a round,,, 3 full pulls,,, they add weight and they go again,,, if one cant pull, another tractor enters the round,,, and so on and so on.
Its not a big power display,,,,, in fact, the big power doesnt get ya very far!! They spin out everytime,, the stockers,, hook up and walk it out to the full pull line. Its not a fast paced, or speed pull,,, with the proper weight, the right application of torque, that ol sled will pop right loose and its poetry in motion. If you ever want to learn how to pull,, and how to move the immovable object,, then give dead weight pulling a try. I belive the basics, and balance will become clear as a bell and they get to see how the act of pulling actually works in a chassis. It tells ya real quick that power is needed, but too much and your done so driver skill, weight placement can help learn for sure. A true farm tractor can be a winner everytime if the right application of strength is applied,, and the everyday tractor, has plenty when dialed into its weight class. classes can range from 3 classes,,,
Light, medium, heavy! Simple! 0-5000# 5001-7500, 7500-infinity and beyond,,,,, percentage based scoring, so if you do well, the higher the percentage,,, the more weight you pull the higher the percentage. highest percentage wins. Ever see a Stock WD45 move 37,000lbs of deadweight???? I have,, its awesome! dont ever forget the tractor in pulling,,, cant pull with just a motor,, so it takes the argument out,, tires, well they are on backwards if ya pull on asphalt or concrete,, so cut tires dont do worth a darn,,,, See where Im going with this??? there is nothing to argue about,,,, only fun fun fun. think about it!!! Go see one soon! Get HOOKED! A bone stock JD A, can beat a turbo charged 190 XT AC with nitrous, does this sound like a way to play "payback"??? This is the original form of tractor pulling. try it, youll like it and its not hard to get clubs started,, sled matirals are cheap, and can be done on a small pad,,, no track graders,,, only a broom, so it can go pretty quickly! So many show up,,, it takes 2 days if 50 tractors show up. ChadS
