Allan: haven't begun to trounce you yet. Tell you what, I'll get a steel plate 4' x 10' 3/4" thick, turn it up on the ends like a sled. I'll add enough weight to bring that up to 3 times the weight of my Super A.

You do the same with any one of your tractors, bear in mind you will have to make the plate larger to hold 3 times the weight of your tractor, thus you will have a bit more friction.

On may 1st 07 we will both head for Rusty's in New Market IA. No, heck that wont work, the steel plate will wear out before we get there. Plus I'll need a passport by then. Just let me know if you can pull 3 times the weight of any of your tractors, on a flat bottom stone boat. My Super A has already done it, and done it in front of stands at county fair.

I will give you fair warning, we used to do this when I was a teenager. Unlike todays tractor pulls, a tractor started with full load and had to pull it 10'. Super A will top the pack, Super H will come second, Super M will come 3rd and Super C in 4th place. A tractor driver started with a load he was sure he could pull, he could add weight after each try until he was stumped. Rules call for a 4' chain between drawbar and stone boat. The winner was the guy starting away with and pulling the highest percentage of tractor weight.
