Tracter pulling season comming up!
Just curious, is anyone else out there into tractor pulling? I've been looking forward to it all winter, and the fair nearby where I'm pulling is less than a month away. I'm pulling my Farmall 400. I've never pulled before, but I have friends that do and I have loved watching tractor pulls since I was little. Anyway just interested if we have tractor pullers on FTE.

Bigun72, with a good pull, 1977 with the 400 motor should pull 200. But, there's definatly a trick to pulling, and it takes a good amount of luck too. You dont want really big tires on the truck, because they will grab the dirt and bog the truck down. And sometimes trucks start hopping badly and they cant make the pull. Although I never have pulled a pickup, I have friends that have pulled for years. All their trucks are 73-79 Fords, with anything from 351's to 460's. Alot of the trucks arent super built up, and they always do pretty well. I would encourage you to enter the pulls, but be warned: Things can, and do, break. Every year someone at the pull blows either an axle or a driveshaft. Still, its alot of fun. Good luck!

Keep me posted! That would be awesome!!

Bigun72, alot of my friends will put older smaller (read: Stock size) tires on their trucks to pull. Thick tread is not helpful in this case. Even beater worn out tires will be better than big ones. You can prolly pick up some for cheap somewhere. If your gonna pull, It would be worth the $ to do so.
