Other than needing more horsepower, is there anything you guys see that could help me out. Hitch height, length, tire pressure?

(quoted from post at 02:58:15 03/18/13) can do no more with out a lot more power,good job. Did you win?????
(quoted from post at 02:56:09 03/18/13) Yep, a few more ponies is about all you need. On a side note, that sled was built by Alan Vanderzanden. I heard there was one that made it down to California. What club do you pull with down there? I would love to come down sometime.

(quoted from post at 22:50:31 03/18/13) You can change the primary reduction gear and clutch gear to slow the tractor down.Drawbar changes won't help enough until you spin out. Easy mod with gears form an A with a single lever gear shift.
Second remove the cap from the air intake stack,grind off rivets,and look down it with a bright light. If there is mud in the bottom this will reduce your air intake,offsetting the piston help.Also remove the screen mesh from the oil bath assembly to improve air flow.
Use a dyno to max the HP with load and idle jets on the carb.
If yours is a fuel burner(two gas caps),change to a gas carburator and manifold.
Until you know the HP from a dyno,you could have several issues.
I won DIV1 5000 and 5500 in our club in 2011 with the above changes and pulled in 1st gear 90% of the time.
Good Luck!
(quoted from post at 17:19:05 03/19/13) Are your RPM's set at the max? It sounded a little low... If you are running out of HP, try lowering your draw bar a little..
(quoted from post at 17:08:28 03/19/13) Was the weight box moving?
(quoted from post at 23:32:11 03/20/13) if they're still there, take the tractor to the Erb Bros. shop over by Turlock. They used to build up two cylinder John Deeres that could pull. Whatever your tractor needs some serious tuning. The governor spring booster will help if the spring has any starch left in it at all. It looks like you!re running kinda lean, it ought to smoke just a tad when it's pulling hard and "crack" pretty loud. Everything else others sais will help, but seriously chrome stacks and pressed steel wheels don' t give you more power or pulling capability
