Pulling on asphalt

Anonymous-0 · Aug 4, 2013

Today we had a fun pull on asphalt after our tractor parade . It just occurred to me that not one tractor lifted it's front end when pulling the sled including my wd-45 that always lifts. All we did was spin out and shut down, but on our regular track we all lift-- is that weird or what ?

Turn your tires around and try it again.

whats the theory behind reversing the tires? also will they wear the wrong way from spinning backwards?

So you dont wear off your nice sharp edge.

Depends on how the sled is setup and what kind of track it is.. We run a sled on hard surface here in sw wisconsin. We use wood skids only but have rubber pads for the heavier tractors. From what I've seen the cement and old style blacktop hooks the best for the tractors.

Not at all. There's nothing for the tire to grab. Only a tiny contact area. They're designed for dirt.
