This coming saturday our small town is having a tractor pull. I would like to participate by pulling my 1650 gas. Being as the 1650 is newer than a 1959 I will have to bump up to the 10,000 pound class. The 1650 currently weighs 7724 lbs. That is without me. (roguhly 300 lbs) So with me I am at 8000. I need to come up with 2000 more pounds. Where should I put the weight? It seems to me like the 1650 is light on the front. Getting the weights is no problem I just need to know where to put them. What gear should I expect to pull in, I only have the hydra-power (2 speed)wish I had a 3 speed, where would a guy find a three speed? I am runing 16.9-38s. The tractor is suppose to have 1850 gas sleeves and pistons in it, is this possible?
Do you think I will be able to compete at all in this class. I will mainly be pulling against 4020 jd and 856 and 966 internationals and maybe a 1070 case. Let me hea any and all of you ideas. Thanks Jake

I agree with Larry and would recommend 2nd gear, unless you are pulling on a gravel track; in that case 3rd, but on hard dirt, you'll want to start in 2nd Direct and be ready to downshift when the going gets tough. Where to put the weight also depends on your hitch. Put the hitch/drawbar all the way in; that will reduce the tendency for the load to lift the front end of tractor, and should allow you to put most of the weight on the rear. Oh, and don't forget to use your rpms. If they're not taching the tractors, speed up the rpms on your 1650; it's free horsepower, and I wouldn't be afraid to run it on short runs at 2800-3000 rpm. You'll need it against the diesels it sounds like you'll have to run with. Good luck, and next year, drop a 310T in that 1650 and show them all who's boss!

I agree with ohio dick, you need most of the weight on the rear. The heavy cast iron grille and frame gives alot of weight up front. I always pull farm stock in the gear I plow in, which is 3rd. Use the Hydra-power and shift down before the RPMs drop off too much. You might not go too fast, but with the weight on the rear you should get good traction and do OK. WB.

you need all the weight on the rear. Use second gear. My 1650 weighs 10000 lb has loaded tires you will spin out on ahard track.
