 I pulled around the thumb of Michigan,Peck,Marlette,Gooddells,Sandusky,others with the EMTPA(Eastern tractor pullers assn,),and a few TTPA pulls.Staying so I could run Div.1(no weight brackets),I had to live with using a belly bracket that could be slide in the holes in the frame,between rounds.Next year I'll run Div 2 & 3,that allow weight brackets and hang on weights.Also I'll lose my mech. lift and pully drive so I'll be able to balance weights better.In #4000 I had a hard time keeping from spinning out.I'll be looking at 282 c.i. at least when I'm done.It was alot of fun this season pulling with our new club.Anyone in s.e.Michigan that's thinking of pulling,look us up. We have Div.1 thru 5.This year about 30% of our pullers were first timers.Our club was founded by pullers for "ALL" pullers,We bought our own sled,and are a non-profit organization,that benefits 4H. Next year I have alot of Deere's I'll be gunning for,it should be fun.Here's a picture of "Bambi's first pull,before finish painting and no grill,after a allnighter of work to get her there(finished 6:00 in the morning,pulled at 12:00). For info. on the "EMTPA",check out www.pullsite.com,Hope to see you next year,A.P. ,Dan
