Yeah, and I Seen Elvis at the Mini Mart just last week! My wife thought I had lost my mind! Also, she said I needed glasses!!

Like I said before, I aint walking across the street for a NATPA pull these days! Not when I can drive 200 miles+ to a USAP pull, and have more fun.

I hope your not a NATPA member really attending that pull today,,, Cause if you were,, I dont see how anybody can take you seriously. Anybody, who knows me, and our family knows,,, I would not be caught dead at NATPA. We go pulling for us to get away from the everyday things we need to escape from now and then,,,, If we cant have fun doing what we do, then we find something else to do. Shoot, I can stay home and be insulted, ridiculed etc etc,,, why would I drive 200+ miles to a place that lives and thrives off of imtimidation and money and politcal back stabbing. That isnt pulling. If thats why your there,, then your at the right place. If your more like me,, and having fun is the name of the game, then heck,, sign me up, Ill take the time to go pulling, but when idiots like you, do what you do,, it aint worth the time,,,, you hunt me down if you want, when I go back down south, Im sure ill pass the word along. Tillthen, bettet get some glasses, and a brain. Say hello to Elvis for me while your at it! ChadS

Hey Shad with you and all the Crap flowing out of your mouth all the time thank goodness you don't pull with the NATPA they most likley did what they could do to run you out of the main antique pulling organization in this great country and that is a good thing for the rest us. If we could only Ban you from this Great website we would also be greatful in my opinion you are a mess stay in Indiana and mumble by yourself.

This website,,, and GOD BLESS this website! is a place for pullers to have the right have speak their opinion and be heard. In places where they dont feel like they get the focus and intensity in which is deserved,, they have a voice!!! Our history as Americans, gave us the right of freedom of speech!!!!! !! If you want to speak your opinion, so be it,,, we will all see it,,, but it really shows you American Spirit if you was to either dispute, yet get along,,,, or try to segragate one from the flock. You have no passion for this sport or our American Heritage what ever we know and love, and you,,, come say things like that. Its you, in my opinion, that tries to diversify a community,,, that should be drummed out of what ever your involved in. Its BS like that,, it what spoils all of our beliefs and dreams,, Is this what keeps America the land of the free, and the home of the brave in your eyes??? Not me,,, Ive heard your opinion of me,,, and I cant stop you from it. Your entitled to it.. Looks like I won another dime,, to add th the "ChadS" fan club!!!!! Right JJ??? HAHAHAHA!! Have a good day,, and GOD BLESS tractor pulling discussion boards just, like this one. ChadS

Shag, we have a 0-4500# class,,,, but you best to start at 4000 with them little farmalls!! We have a very heavy sled,,, Im sure you can pull our sled, if the board would set the sled up to allow a lighter machine to pull farther than 50 feet! They think, there is no classes under themselves,,,, which happens to be 5500 and up,,,,, ,,,,, , Ive seen WD's with the little tires do well,,,, and in the lite classes we pull percentage,,, so, if they gave you a fair shot,,, you have equal opportunity to pull a winning percentage on our sled. If they tune the sled to run a real lite class, you would have a shot,, but if they dont do anything at all,, best to be as heavy as you can. JMHO,,,, and yes,, have seen some really big Super C bores lately,,,,, Ill email ya later on! Chad

I feel that the USAP is about the best place to pull now. But I would like to invite you to come pull with the AFPA. We run alot of fairs in the summer time. Check us out on the web American Farm Pullers Association.

Jimmy, If I had a dime for every person Ive upset, I would have a lot of dimes!!! Really I would! I dont care or think a second thought about it. I dont support stupidity,, you just cant fix it, so why bother with it. I dont care if I upset some NATPA members,,, In fact, if they had happen to them, what happened to us, they wouldnt support it either. I live by that lesson, I always will practice whats good for a club, instead of what's good for just me. I was there back then, I witnessed it all,,,, All the work we did to support NATPA back then,,, went up in flames when the winners bought their victory. I belive in true winners,,, the guy or gal that works hard to put those weights in the right places to do the best they can do,,, when the dust settles, the best is where it belongs by hard work and dedication,,, not by a dollar bill to buy a vote, or a rule, or a win to say Im a Champion!!!! So forever I will say, Ill never go back,, or support what goes on behind closed doors, or in a secret board meeting, to earn an advantage. Does that make everybody bad that pulls with NATPA? No,,, but the old days still stick with me,,thats a path, I will not follow. its not a popularity contest,, gosh knows,, im not popular in the eyes of NATPA,,, cause they know I know how politics work behind closed doors. Never in my years of pulling with Lampkin and his crew, did I ever feel uneasy about pulling our tractors there at his events,,,USAP is about as straight forward as it gets. No BS, just pulling tractors, and having fun with freinds and family that share the common bond we all have in this sport. Like I said, I dont care if I upset anyone. I dont pull the wool over anyones eyes. On a business point of veiw,,, to what you mentioned,,, Keep your money,, save it for the trip thru McDonalds. or, when i get our fleet of pullers ready to travel down south or where ever I go,,, feel free to come there,, pull with us, See how tradition, and hard work really pay off. Meet some of the pullers,, see if you can spot a difference in the moods in the pits. I used to take this so seriously,, that I would not sleep the nite before,,,,, now days,,, I do what I do best,, have fun, and show off. How can anyone do that if there is no trust amongst the community?? Ill tell you how,, they dont. i dont care if I upset anyone,,, I will not lose sleep over it, but I sure hope,,, that those fellas the hosed everybody all them years back have a good sound solid sleep. Or,, have good padlocks on their side shields. HAHAHAHA!!! ChadS

Chad, I agree with you when you say that tractor pulling should be all about having fun at the pull. F- the politics. F-the stuffy rules. Just take what tractor you own and as long as you weigh-in and follow hitch heights and mph limits for the class, just go have fun pulling. That's what it should be about. Screw the points, just go have fun, drink some pop or some beer and have some great conversation in the pits. Chasing points and trying to tighten up the rules with voting rights so that only the guys with IH or Deere tractors win at the end of the day is BS. They should go get their own club of whatever manufacturer they choose and go argue among themselves over even smaller details. We have a club in Michigan called EMTPA and so far they are pretty cool as far as allowing people to pull whatever they bring to the pull. I hope the rules stay that way and we will ALL have a great time and keep plowing money into their accounts with hook fees. Mark

I suppose you win every hook you run,, right? Should we bow down? Nope, never won in NATPA,, won many seconds and thirds,, was even ranked number 5 and number 6 in the NATPA points with 2 different tractors,,,,,right up until the time of the NATPA Qualifier and Championship pull out in Columbia MO. faced alot of competition back then,,, that was when the word was fresh, NATPA was growing faster than the weeds in the lawn. Averaging 500+ hooks an event!! Alot of talented individuals who wouldnt give you the time of day!!! i always wondered why that was,,, we held in there tough as we could. Like I said, 5 and 6 in the points standings,,, going into the qualifier in Columbia. We get to Columbia,, and check out the new points standings sheet at the table,, and got the shock of our lives. Somehow,,, we dropped from 5 and 6 down to 15th and 16th, and there was no pull inbetween the last pull, and the Columbia qualifier. At least to anyones knowledge,,, Sometime, between that second to last pull, and the Columbia pull, someone decided to have a brush pull,, and count it as a NATPA qualifier and told absolutly nobody about it!!!! Was not on the advertized schedule, cause if it was, me and about 400 other tractors would have went to them. I figured, and it took me a while to put it all together,, but what happened was, the points leaders took it upon themselves to make sure they had a last stand before the big pull. So the recorded results from that unlisted pull, now figured into the points. I got told it was a last minute decision by the board when I cornered a certain somebody on the NATPA board a the time. That was the first dirty deed of that weekend,,,,, the other,,, I will have to go to the tape we recorded of the qualifier, and the championship pull. Anyone who views that film will know exactly what they were doing, without me even saying a word,,, so I have this tape,,, of the evidence. I keep it as a reminder,,,,, I kept all the points sheets from back then too. So, no,, I never won pulling NATPA. I got beat by money,, and it sure had nothing to do with a $10K stroker engine!!! Like I said, keep your money if thats how you feel. NATPA is not the only pulling organization out there,,, your not the only ones in the game, and sure as heck are not the toughest competition Ive ever seen. I know of a group that would make you guys look like choir boys. You would have to hunt us down to prove anything though,,, remember,, we went looking,,, and look what we found!!! Have a good Night.

Damn Chad,

I guess staying at home and working on your tractors has really allowed some old wounds to fester. I am just picturing you locked up in a room, watching the videotape of your (evidence) mumbling about how "money" beat you...Not the fact that the other people (I don't know who) had twice as good of equipment as you!

If you like to run brush pulls that are all at the same building/track, by all means go pull with the USAP! However, dispite what you might feel the NATPA has been the most progressive/aggressive antique tractor pulling organization ever! Stay at home and freak out your neighbors by mumbling about the "evidence"

LOL yep! Somethings will never change. Well, you hit a nail right in the head right there,, when you said, pull on one track, one sled. I see nothing wrong with that at all. Ill tell you why,,, for one, its dangerous to hook on multiple sleds to new members. A puller can get really comfortable with a reliable setup, on a sled they are used to hooking to. You can then take that same setup, and go to pull that uses a different sled. Lets say just for conversation, they were used to pulling a constant pressure pan type sled,,, and then going to a pull that uses a drop sled, where the weight is suddenly dropped on you at whatever speed you can gererate, or allowed to run. The weight drops, and the inexperience shows thru really quick. A few things can happen,,, one,, the front end goes up in the air so fast and unexpectedly, an unseasoned driver can panic, and next thing you know,, we have a saftey problem. Two, equipment faliure,,,,, The sudden drop in the sled can find the weak spots in a drive train faster than a front end flipping over backwards. Parts can go flying, flywheels sheered off, input shafts twisting off and shot out of the tractor, engine parts break from the sudden shock to the system. Shall I continue???? I learnd about drop sleds when I attended the first laotto pull,,, I was driving my Something Wilder H farmall,,, running div 4 and when the pan dropped,,, she snapped the 4th gear, broke the differential carrier, shattered the constant mesh gears, but I still,,, drove it off the track. So I know all about that issue from first hand experience,,, a lesson, I did not know and was quickly educated. I dont hold anybody responsible,,, just myself, and I decided, untilI can beef up my drive train enough to handle a drop sled, Ill keep to pulling a constant presure pan sled. it keeps a steady load on my tractor, and less chance for a sudden surprize. USAP white sled,,, is a beautiful sled to hook up to and drag it out the door. The guys who operate the sled, know exactly how to manage the sled for the class they are running,,, I have yet to break anything, felt unsafe while pulling the sled, its exactly, what Im used to pulling on at home. So, I feel consistancy can only be achived by keeping it simple,, one sled, one track, or travel with the club where ever it goes,, same sled, different track,,, so theres the competition, or where it begins,,, Where the weight placement comes into play to put the power to the ground, figure out the balance to pick up the sled and carry it anywhere you can drag it to. Drop sled pulling is drag racing pulling,,,, constant presure pan pulling is the way it should be done with antique pullers. JMHO,,,, Leave the real drag races to the cars. Leave the pulling to the tractors. Chad

Booorrriiiinnnggg!!! Jeez, I think a little bit of the challenge of this sport/hobby is the fact that a person does have to pull on different tracks and sleds and adjust setups accordingly! I realize that if you live close to Princeton, it would be really nice to have an indoor pull every month to hit, but if you want to pull against the best competition in the country you have to go and find it!

Ever heard the phrase, "I beat em on their home track"? A puller can wave thaose kind of bragging rights for years!! It can take a puller 5 years to learn all the setups off of all the sleds the drivers hook up to, practice, does make perfect though,,,, going to a pull in a good location, and practicing on a sled and learn just as well, and more frequent, have more money from not having to travel as far from pull to pull,, use it for more hooke fees on practice night!! If a puller is in tune with his surroundings,,, I can bet, that it may take more than one attempt by a competitior to get by him. 3 strikes and your out though,, (3hooks) Beating somebody on their home track,, is more fun to discuss when the bragging rights start a flying,, its your story though,,,, tell it any way you want to!!! JMHO,,, everyones got one. Chad

I know this won't help you but the same thing happened to us at LaOtto. After the pull on sunday we let a friend make a pass on the 600 Ford. We put extra weight on the front but when the pan dropped it took out 2nd. gear. Thanks to Arnold Martin and about $850.00 in special made gears, we were able once again to get back on the track in the spring. We missed the winter circut. We don't normally use a drop sled but it was about the only choice for a second sled in the space avalable.

Chad, I think your talking about the "old" NATPA. Our first experience with the group was not good. Overzelous teching and nitpicking seemed to be the norm possibly because we weren't members. Three or four years ago it all seemed to change. I don't know who was who but the mood seemed to totally change. Three years ago we were so inpressed after the pull at Wausen Oh we decided we would join the next year and try and make several pulls. We joined in 2006 and had a great time at our first pull. A class win as a new member made it that much more enjoyable. Heart-health problems prevented futher pulls that season. In Nov. of last year we again decided to join. Once again my health-back sugery problems prevented not only the Wausen pull for myself but probably the rest of the 2007 winter season. Kevin, my son was able to make the Wausen pull and was treated very well by all. At the end of his hook in the 3500# class he snapped the drawbar where the clevis attaches. Several pullers noticed the problem and with their help [pullers we don't normally pull with] he was able to pull out a second place in the 4000# class. I'm sorry past experiences left a bad taste in your mouth but I think if you were to try it again you'de be pleasently surprised. If the doctor would let me, we might make the pull in Talmage and possibly the finals in Mo. I know when you came to the pull indoors at LaOtto In. that Kevin put on you had a great time and thats how we felt pulling with the guys from NATPA.

The national groupe once again has hired me to anounce Goshen. Kevin will be working a pull that day in Chat Oh. so he won't make it. Everytime I watch you guys pulling in front of 15,000+ people at Goshen In. I wonder who's having the most fun. For those who didn't know, the Elkhart County Fair is the 3rd largest attended county fair in the nation per attendence. Also, the thurs. pulls is their best day of attendence all week.

I havent got started onthe new NATPA yet,,,, So far, I have no opinion of them. Cant lecture on what I dont see. Im sure I could spot something, If I attended,, but I dont intend on that anytime soon. I feel, that once something wrong happens,, your defences go up and you try not to put yourself back into that situation, possible, that they dont have the hidden pull to boost point standings at the end of the year,,, but somewhere,, somebody may be taking a kickback. May not be monitary, but in some sort,, its possible of anything. But if its going on the straight n narrow,,, I say keep up the positive work for the future, not my future, but someone elses 20 minutes of fame,,, you know how it is in professional pulling. ChadS

Hey Chad, if you're ever in Virginia, maybe stop by a pull. I'd like to see that H of yours, and pull against it. Around here, we pull for fun and trophy's, not cash. A few guys take it seriously, but for the most part, we're just a bunch of country boys and girls who like to make noise. We don't have any nationwide pulling associations, just a few local clubs. They have their cliques, but everyone's friendly, and there's some great food. If you want a good, fun pull come on out.

I live in Bealeton, Va, and I pul at Callao, Mechanicsville, Bealeton, Warrenton, Berryville, and maybe a few others. Pretty much anything I feel like driving to.

Do you have a Farm show directory that has all the antique tractor shows in it? If you do, look for Bill Simmons Antique Tractor club. We would love to have you! If you moved to the southern portion of VA you could pull with CVATPA.

The wife and I are talking about moving soon, like maybe this spring. She's been checking out houses on the internet, and she found a bunch of nice ones. Now, I just need to find a good job. Right now I pull with the reunion of the past, the CVATPA (one pull, Powhatan), and Shelton Farm. They put on most of the pulls around here. They're not a club, they just bring the sled and run the show. Hopefully this summer will see us on a couple acres of our own.

What kind of tractors do you pull? If you wanted to move to the Shenandoah Valley there is a place called Truck Enterprises Inc. I think there is one in Roanoke, VA also.

I pull a Massey Harris 44 standard. It's not much, but it's unique. The only one I've seen at any pulls so far. I've been thinking about talking to Truck Enterprises. I haven't decided yet. We just started talking about this last weekend, so it's pretty much still in the planning stages. I just need to get off my butt and actually start doing something. I'm gonna talk to TEI and look around at some trucking companies. The problem is, It's hard to find a truck mechanic job in the dead of winter. It's easier in the spring once business picks up.
