whats the bs rules as far as 230cid in the 4500 and less....not everyone has the money to hot rod stuff like you guys do...
 
I work 3rd shift if I SHOW UP AFTER THE PULL STARTS WILL I STILL BE ABLE TO PULL IN 6000LBS PLUS 6500 OPEN CLASSES
 
Im not saying that the rule is BS but I
do believe John Deere A's should be allowed. Even if you built the best running A in the world it would still make less power then a big H or 77.

As long as you are signed up before the class starts you are welcome to pull.

You make a good point. The reason for the rule is to keep M's and 88's out of the light classes. We will work something out saturday if you bring your A.

1st a little reading comprehension would have saved you the tears of crying on here and me the time writing this, the rule states less than 4500 lb.

2nd I am sorry that the boys in Remus bust their a$$ to build good running tractors, if you can't run with them work harder or have fun just getting the opportunity to pull, but for gods sake don't come and start whining, cause we will show you the road and tell you to not come back. We have fair rules and good competition, and we always make sure we are having fun.
 
I agree with Josh this rule has been overlooked for to long. A good running A having most of its original mass in the center of the tractor vs. an 88 or M with that big ole heavy motor sticking out front, yeah I'll take balance any day. Maybe just have a test pull of a couple of classes and get some opinoins say #3750/#4000.

You guys do a great job and we always have a blast. Keep up the good work! "Go Green"

Thanks for the compliments, although I am confused by your comments. Are you saying that you want to pull a John Deere A against an M or 88 in the 4000 lb class?
 
I would have to say the Best and Funnest pull of the year! I look forward to this pull every year. Thanks to all WATA members for your work!

Yes thats what I'm saying I dont mind pulling against these guys. Most times these guys (88 and M's) would be set up to pull in the larger classes or 5000 to 7000 lbs with possibly heavier weight brackets and certainly 18.4-38 tires. Yes I know they could still make weight but your not going to load that 18.4 in that light of a class meaning more than likely its going to float and not get ahold of the track. Back in the day before this 230 ci rule came around the A's used to raise a lot of hell in these classes and it made for a good show. The guys that were light and made a lot of power like the 88's usually just filled the sled operators lap with dirt.
Not trying to open a can of worms here but I think you would be suprised on what you would find if you tested it with some good equipment.

Typically I see rules are made for other tractor brands, to the expense of John Deere.
