The question was asked, so I thought i would bring it up to you pullers. Should we break the classes up a little more? As in a 2500 class, a 3000 class, a 3500 class, a 4000 class, and so on up to 10,000 plus. We need your feed back on this as we do not want to change the way we pull the classes if you all do not want it. So tell us what you think please! Thank for your time, ANIMAL.

I like the idea of light weight classes having smaller increments between classes, this gives the AC's, Fords etc a couple of classes to pull in before they get out powered, perhaps 2750, 3250, 3800, 4500, 5500 etc. The problem with staggering the weight classes, is no matter where the split is at there are tractors that have to take weight off and put it back on again because they are caught in the middle. This typically happens to the guys that pull 4500, 5500 and 6500, which are normally the best attended classes, and it makes for a long day for everyone that pulls. My suggestion would be to alternate the sequence, one week pull light to heavy and the next heavy to light, of course traditionally most places pull light to heavy and it seems to work OK.

Yes. I had to remove the fenders and all of the 3 point hitch stuff from my CA to make the 2500 class atParagould. There is no way that it can hang with a WC in 3500. There was a 22 MH that didn't pull because of this situation. If people get tired of watching the same tractors pulling in different classes limit the number of hooks per tractor.

We used the following order the last two years they had pulls at the White County fair and it worked really good. Gave the fans a variety and the pullers who were changing weights a little break.
10,500 2,500
10,000 3,000 9,500 3,500 9,000 4,000 and so on with this pattern. I think a lot of people, including me, would like to see more pulls from tractors like HH's and you can't argue with HH. The pulls won't be worth a flip without the spectators.

Shady Grady, Rollo, Aunt Esther, and Pops sends their love to everyone.

I agree with HH, mix them up, most people are gone by the time the bigger, faster tractors pull.

I think you need to change the pulling order. For example, 10.000lb first and then maybe 2500 next. My reason for this is, most of the spectators tell me they get bored to death and leave because they see the same tractors over and over. Like the Batesville pull the crowd left during the extremely large 5500 class. You know that several of the smaller tractors start small and weight-up for every class and thats perfectly alright but remember your spectators came to see a fun actionpacked event and without the fans the pull/shows wont be successful very long. My suggestion is, give them a variety. Just mine and several others opinion. H.H.

Our club changed its weight classes as well, after 5500lbs, it breaks off into 500lbs increments. The day just goes on and on. It just makes more winners!!! As long as there is enough tractors to pull in those classes, why not?? Just my 2 cents, ChadS
