The old 6.9 doesnt like the 24,000gcw but it does it. Everyone tells me it's the wrong color tractor but it the only ford out there and it dont do too bad. Now with the 9.5ml pump bigger injectors and that nice holset turbo we should be setting around 250hp!

I'm just as confused as you are. Maybe they are color blind? Any tractor that wieghs 13,000 and still spins out at 11mph in a pull is a BAMF in my view. FORD knows how to build em! If i remember right a 9600 won the NTPA light superstock divison last year.

Because some think tractors should be red and others think they should be green.

You just gave me an Idea. I love the way this truck looks, CLEAN red. I want to add the FORD letters in front. Also i have been looking on weather or not to get a piperack, head ache rack or side rails. But this wooden frame gives it the old farm turck look. Especially since its red. Very nice truck, thanks for the idea. Trick is now to secure these down enough to 1. Strap refrigerators to and 2. Remove them at will...
