would a gt 14 be a good pulling tractor ?

Well I'm thinking about pulling with one of my gt 14s. Should I try the hydro one or the one with the 8 pinion 8 speed in it ? Or is it not even worth trying ? Thanks

Depends on the club and what your gonna pull.  Do they offer a off the lawn class ?

Runs good. Had to rebuild carb and fuel pump and fix gas tank. Hydro is good and lift works

Some clubs have tire size rules. most likely only 12 inch.

If it came from the factory we allow upto 9.5x15 in stock classes most NY clubs allow it also.

I haven't pulled yet with it. I like the Hydro because of the lift but the 8 speed is nice to pull the cart around with and it books in 3 hi down the road. Would say it does between 15 and 20 mph

Well I tried the gt14 with the 8 speed for pulling in the begining of the year and it did not do as well as I hoped. My 312-8 out pulled it. The problem is the lack of tread patterns available in in size and they are nose heavy.
