I have done alot of tractor pulling over the years and am wondering about your approach.....One thing you have to understand about older Farmalls is that they do not pull well bare at the lowest weight class you can get them into......Our SM weighs right around 5500 lbs. and we don't start pulling until the 6500 lbs class. It is almost a guarantee that you are going to get beat by a Putt-Putt at the lowest class, because most of your weight is up front...The approach I would take is instead of taking off, put on....I would leave the fast hitch on and put a piece of angle iron across it...the put a weight bar under the belly, and the one up front. I would start at 6500 and run up to 10,000 or 10,500(what ever your club has)...Just the secret to the equation is having enough suitcase weights to do the job :-) You should(?) dominate the 7000 thru 8000 Lbs. classes if your weight and tires are up to the matter.....
