I am very interested in getting into garden tractor pulling and would like to build my own pulling tractor but I have no clue as to where to start and what kind of tractor I should start with. I am also looking for a tractor to buy to ether build into a pulling tractor or one that is already a pulling tractor. Please Help Me.

Hello we just came back from pulling 2 hours ago .The types most pullers prefer is either a early cub cadet or early to mid wheelhorse .We own both type and both have their pros and cons.The cubs have very stoudt rearends but make sure it is an old one and cast iron case .We just bought one a 1969 ready to mow grass with a small 8 horse Kohler for 100 bucks!!We will upgrade to a 16 horse and beef it up to about 30 hp .Kohler is the only way to go on a cub and the direct drive is also (no automatics)the advantages of the wheelhorses is you can bolt just about any engine you want to on it easily .We are running a 18hp briggs but are planing on a 24 twin onan but shhhhh hh its a secret as only 16 to 18 hp is allowed in most classes.We run 800 ,900 and 1000 super stock classes and have done well thus far .A word of advice ,dont go all out on a jersey or super modified tractor .Because you will wait all day or night whichever the event is running just to pull your class and parts breakage can cost you a bundle of money with the payback being not worth it .Stick to the governer type classes and keep any modifications to the strength aspect of you tractor.. ie >axles ,hubs,belts(on wheelhorses)clutches ( on cubs)pistons ,rings valves etc, etc. Well good luck and wish you well and hope you have fun cuz thats what its all about ....some pullers get too serious and it ruins it for all, stick to the basics and keep it simple and you will be glad you did I promise!!.P.S my brother has 5000 plus dollars in his cub... it is a monster ,runs on alcohol makes 50 horses but he is always breaking expensive parts and when he wins it barely covers the cost of his fuel and parts...

I saw a pulling tractor recently that had nine(9)
Tecumseh engines running on alcohol vs. a double
engine hi-tech John Deere with two (2) modified
Kohler engine on alcohol. Quite a sight. Probably start small and work your way up.
ps, the John Deere won, but not by much!

The rules will vary with the club and class you're pulling in. It helps if you're handy with steel and welding.

I'd recommend you attend a few pulls as a spectator first, study the tractors in the pits, and then start in a stock class. The stock classes are least expensive, and are safest for gathering experience. Any geared tractor (not hydrostatic) with a heavy steel frame and cast iron drive components (transmission and axle or transaxle) can be made to be competitive in stock classes. I'm sure if you found a particular tractor you're thinking about buying for a puller, you could post a request for opinions on a particular model. Just remember what they say about opinions! ;)

You should build (or have built) a hitch with height adjustment (to easily conform to various rules), and "wheelie" bars or wheels (even on a stocker) to keep the tractor from tipping over backward. (Nobody likes a broken neck.) You'll eventually want weights and racks to mount them to, and, depending on r
