On a very glue-like clay track with a conventional old style sled with a gradual weight climb and a 5-6' chain, I see varying amounts of horsepower winning. Usually it is 60-75 horsepower Allis Chalmers winning. A few warm Oliver 77 & 88 come in running in the 85 horsepower and doing very well. I hear these insane horsepower estimates and see results that defy those numbers. I'm not saying it doesn't help, but it's not always the case. A short chain and drop pan sled toughens things up a little. I pull a 48hp tractor in 4500 and 5000 at 3mph. I've taken 1st & 2nd all year till I got on a big pro sled or a very gooey track with some big power 77 Olies. Last year I was able do beat stroker I-H M's with a 98hp UB and 16.9 tires in 5500#. I can't do that on a fancy sled or super short chain.

Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
