Last night there was an antique tractor pull in out side of Hagerstown MD. One of the tractors that pulled was dad's friends Case DC. The tractor was supposed to pull in the 5000 lbs. class but because of fluid in the tires and weights, it ended up pulling in the 6000 lbs. class. The DC pulled against 10 to 12 other tractor including John Deere A's and B's, Farmall Super MTA, Super MTA Desiel, Super M,and M Desiel, Oliver 77, and a few fords. The DC (to my suprise) came 4th place with a pull of 277 feet and a few inches. This just proves once again that there is nothing better than CASE.

When a person spends money enough to modify an unstyled John Deere A to crank out over 100 horses you know the fun has gone from pulling. We used to pull and the county fairs either adding some weight or taking it off and it was fun then. Then the John Deeres came in with turbos and dual fuel and no more fun. Put them on the plow andsee how long it takes to do 50 acres and how much fuel. This is a better gauge on who does the most for the least!!

I ain't trying to start no war, but when those tractors are put to their intended use, that's when the real test comes. Not for some silly sport made up be men.

To each his own but with the changing in agriculture there's not much plowing to be done and for those who can afford to play with the tractors of there dads and grandfathers its kinda fun. I'd rather fix them up and pull them then to let them decay away. I want my son to be able to go to a pull and say he has helped restore his greatgrandfathers tractor from one end to the other and have it mean something to him. My dad and I pull in the stock classes in Florida. The tracks are hard and horsepower doesn't win. If you limit the speed and drawbar height it can be alot of fun. For me it is anyhow. My 2 cents.

By the way my dad and I have 5 case pulling tractors. They always know we are there and since we started bringing the CASEs others have started getting their CASEs also.

I agree with Les. Show me how many acres per hour you can plow with a tractor and I will show you the true meaning of tractor pulling.

Most of the tractors in a pulling contest are modified so heavily that they are almost useless for anything else.

Guess that I really can't fault the people that pull tractors, they are just doing what they want to do. It just isn't my thing.

By the way, I have Case and Farmall and think the Case is a superior tractor, although I love both.

actually most of the tractors here in ohio pulls
are Factory stock.All you do is put some weights on it,change muffler and drawbar,NOTHING ELSE.I
dont believe cases are the best pullers either.we got mostly deeres,ih's,and olivers here.Our mf 165 blew away a case dc in 5000 lbs class and the dc had m+w kit too.sorry i dont wanna start a war either.just my opinion.

I've got one of each right at the moment. So far I have not been tempted in the least to do any pulling or even to watch one. I'd much rather watch a tractor at work or just showing off in a parade.

I have antique Farmall's and Case's both. I've never entered any of them in a pulling contest. I like both brands of tractors, but I think the Cases are tougher and more durable tractors.
