My personal opinion is, at the antique tractor shows the tractors should be pulling as though they were just brought in from the field. That is without all the extra weights hanging on the wheels, off the sides of the frame, and 'souping' up the engines. After all, was this the way the tractors were used on the farm? Loaded tires and maybe a couple of wheel weights bolted on for extra traction.
A draft horse club held a show here a couple of weeks ago. I met up with an old acquaintance and we got talking about shows and her mother told me a lot of the old timers to our local show will not be going this year because all the emphasis is on the tractor pulls and all the modern tractors that keep 'invading' the pull. It is acutally no longer an "antique" tractor pull. It is slowly becoming a modified tractor pull that you see at the county fairs. But like I said this is only my opinion. I am slowly learning how 'backward' my thinking is from the rest of the world.
