Just thought i"d ask what everyone else thinks. At the stock pulls i pull at it seems, everyone thinks there fooling everybody by making their motors stronger and pulling them in the stock classes. what theses dumbasses don"t realize it isn"t all about horsepower, thats why they get pissed i guess when they lose after pumping all that money into a motor. just wanted to know what everyone else thinks.

if you want to make it honest bring a dyno to the pulls and hook the tractor to it.

I have never understood why a person would spend the kind of money that they do today just to go out and beat some guy with a $500.00 dolar tractor that is just trying to have some fun. If you don't like "stock" classes then stay the hell out of them and try to run with the big dogs --- or don't you think you can?

The only problem with that is if you watch one pull, you have seen them all pull. No lugging power at all, its all ground speed, wanna go fast race a car around a track.

It all comes down to guys putting their tractor in the class it belongs in. A good MPH rule helps too.

We have a farmstock class here in Central PA, 16" drawbar, off a clevis, 2.5 mph,stock rpms. Thats the closed think i"ve found to a farmstock class and it works. You guys know at 16" and off a clevis your not getting much bite, 25 or 50hp it really doesn"t matter.

If they put that much money into an engine for stock pulling, they are just fooling themselves. My Farmall M only has factory replacment parts in it and pulling stock classes I have to throttle back to keep traction. Why don't they spend some on bigger tires, maybe even cut ones and pull in Div. III? But they are probably afraid they would get beat there by the tractors that should be in Div. IV. Around here in antique stock pulling with, limits in tire size with no cuts, no crazy RPM's, and 3.0 mph in Div. I and 3.5 in Div. II, the high HP tractors that need high rpm to get their power will power out before the stock tractors do. At local small town pulls we have 80-110 hooks at a pull and that's a long enough afternoon. We let them think they are getting by with something and if they get too mad about getting beat we DQ them for unsportsmanlike conduct. I flag at the pulls to and, too many horn blows, too much swearing, or too fast in the track area after the pull and the driver is DQ'd. We pull for fun here and if it goes beyond that we don't want them there and they usually don't come back the next year. I go to some of the other kind of pulls and it isn't as much fun. I will now get off my soapbox. RichH

I never see a club that has a Div. IV once you get away from NATPA. Friends around the country tell me this also.
