I don't pull tractors, but I do enjoy watching a good pull. What I DON'T enjoy is watching some OBVIOUSLY modified (chrome or aluminum rims, WAY over stock rpms, and the like) tractors being allowed to pull in stock or farm-stock classes. If they pulled in the modified classes--where they might strand a cahnce of getting beat by a similarly-modified tractor--instead of the stock classes, I guess I wouldn't complain. But as a spectator, it irks me to see Farmer John with his once-overhauled Farmall M getting smoked by some "Slick" who has as much money in his puller as Farmer John has in half his operation! Somehow, though, I can't totally blame "Slick"...'cause he's just doing what the rules committee lets him get by with (odds are, "Slick" is probably ON the rules committee). But things like that are what's keeping me from overhauling Dad's old Farmall H and trying it out just once in the local county fair tractor pull.
