I want to buy a good pulling tractor for my son. I do not have any brand preference. I am looking for something at a reasonable price with good parts support. Something he can work on if needed. What do you recommend?

I own a 47 Minneapolis Moline UTU that I pull with a worn out stock engine. On a dead weight pull, I can always place or win the class. With a little easy removal of accesories, a stock U can pull in 5500 lb class and do ok in 6500. With a little effort, transfer sleds can be fun too. MM parts are interchangeable and availiable. The engines are simple and easy to work on. More horsepower can be easily made just by putting bigger cranks or blocks in them. A lot of good MM folks willing to help you out out there too!

It depends on what you can haul with the equipment you already have. The first thing I'd do is check out the club you are planning on pulling with. Check thier rules and watch a couple of pulls watching how many are in each weight class. If you get into a class that has a lot of tractors, expect to spend lots of money ($3000 - 5000) to be competitive. To keep the money down, choose a class that has just a few tractors. In the light classes, Allis Chalmers B's and C's are hard to beat and easy to work on. In the heavy weights, Case L series and MM's are top contenders. Remember that it's harder and more expensive to pull around a 7000# tractor than a 2000#. And to split it in two to replace a clutch is also a lot easier with a small tractor.

I have a 1946 UTU I am wanting to sell. I pulled it once just to see how it would do. It needs weight up front, but pulled really well. The U's are pretty easy to find parts for. As far as I'm concerned, antique pulling is the way to go.

You didn't give much info. What weight class did you want to run? Antique or newer? The new tractors are easy to get parts for, also the old U tractor is easy to get parts for. To build a tractor I've read about people spending $20,000 dollars and more on this hobby and/or business. There is a G900 with a 800ci engine on the MM web site for sale. He wants $9500.00. Pulling can get expensive fast if you want a high hp tractor and start breaking parts. Well good luck
