shooter500guns 0 #2 Posted September 9, 2013 i can't fathom ruining a good tractor for a pulling event, why can't they use a old mtd or sears tractor? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welderman85 53 #3 Posted September 9, 2013 (edited) Very nice tractors I like the idea of a eight horse class sounds like fun. Shooter500 I veiw tractors as classic cars some restore to stock some modify to have fun with building a puller doesn't mean the tractor is ruined I don't believe in make any changes that can't be returned to stock all the extra parts and bars on my puller are bolt on so it can be removed.even if parts are welded to the frame and such welds can be cut and ground down and holes can be filled.To me building a puller is better than tractors that just rot away outside or end hp at the scrap yard.most get the restomod treatment and bring lots of fun and joy to the owner Edited September 9, 2013 by welderman85 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shooter500guns 0 #6 Posted September 9, 2013 i don't get out to tractor pulls anymore, i guess i should. does anyone pull with smaller class engines? like 6 or 4 horse power. what brand tractors are used the most. i have a j.d. 110 round fender , would that be a good puller? also i have 3 ole bolens husky tractors. and a wheel horse 656. are any of those good for pullers?
