Was this a transfer sled or dead weight sled? I've done both once or twice without all the weight bars etc with a JD720D and 730D. The dead weight sled was timed over 100' distance from a dead stop, chains tight. In that event on a relatively dry track but with a soft spot near the finish the two cylinders did very well as did the Minnie Moes. They seemed to lug it through the soft spot at the end of the track better. In the event with a weight transfer sled on a soft track the Farmalls ruled. I think they had better traction. I know I ran out of grip long before I ran out of power. In that event we had to run in low gear. I think if I could have run in second I would have gone farther than I did. It was still a fun day, not very serious pulling.
