As a follow up on tractor pull insurance that was on here around the 19th of January I will add a few comments to it. As secretary of BorderLine Pullers, an Antique tractor pulling club in North Central Nebraska, Southern South Dakota, I was notified in December that our insurance will go from $1818.00 per year regardless of number of pulls to $225.00 per event in 2009. This is a healty increase as we range from 10 to 15 pulls per year. In 2008 we kept $2.00 out of each $20.00 hook to go into an insurance fund. In 2009 we will change that to $3.00 per hook. Averaging 80 hooks per pull this is still not enough to cover the insurance expense so will get donations hopefully to help cover the rest. The risk in antique tractor pulling is not on the track. It is in the pits, loading and unloading can be pretty scary to watch. Do we need insurance--------my response is yes. Most places will not let you have a pull if you have no insurance. Land owners are very nervous. As a sled owner would we be the first ones a good lawyer would go after. Believe me it seems like a waste of money but even if we have to raise the insurance to $4.00 per pull isnt it better than being on pins and needles at every pull praying and hoping that that one accident dont happen. I dont think any one of us are in the sport for the money. Wishing each and everyone of you a safe and fun season in 2009.

I really hate to see a good tractor being treated that way, but not being able to start it without a 30 minute point filing ritual every time contributed to its demise. If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
