    DEADWEIGHT PULLERS IN NORTHERN INDIANA

    That sounds like alot of fun. After we pull the boat is pulled back to the same starting spot by a very large pay loader. One driver per class with two helpers to do the same as you do. We used to be able to have weight as far out as we could get them but it got to dangerous in the big classes...

    HELP ON RULE INTERPRETATION

    great point, those aren't "farm" tractors and the different ways some competitors might want to cut their tires is their theory on what works. Let it go!! In our area we dead weight pull and no team, YET, has the same brand, size or cut. It is evolving that in a couple years everybody will...

    DEADWEIGHT PULLERS IN NORTHERN INDIANA

    what length chain, cable or bar do you pull from? We pull from a six foot chain. We are allowed one driver only. Three attempts or five minutes on the pad. The two men on the ground take care of directing the driver and moving weights in between attempts. It has evolved to quite a precision...

    4020 power shift woes

    This is just a suggestion. We have a JD 4520 power shift that had gear issues. It turned out to be that the gasket to the valve body had some small tears in it that was allowing fluid to blead through and not allowing the right amount to keep the transmission tight. It was a simple cheap fix...

    DEADWEIGHT PULLERS IN NORTHERN INDIANA

    The Dukester is right about slab pulling being hard on the tractors. They just weren't meant to be stripped down to bare essentials, fitted with short wide tires with the tread ground completely off. It boils down to raw power and traction. The driver must be able to keep the tractor in one...

    turbo for db990

    I compete in dead weight tractor pulling and would like to put a turbo on my Case David Brown 990 and turn the pump up to get enough more horse power to pull in second gear. What should I be looking for?

    DEADWEIGHT PULLERS IN NORTHERN INDIANA

    My Case David Brown 990 pulled 26,000 lbs in the 9000 lb class. We (my team) also are the ones to beat in the 14,000, 16,000 and 19,000 lb classes with a JD 4440 and 4520 right not now but the competition in very tight. Everyone is always looking for different tricks to get and stay ahead. We...
