I sure hope that's not the reason for the pull being cancelled. If the pull was "stealing the show" it was also probably bringing in alot more people that would otherwise not have come to the event. Less people coming to a show equals less money coming into the event which unfortunately, alteast from what I've seen, results in smaller shows in the future.

Personally I like looking at old tractors, be it restored, original, pulling, farm, etc. and would never hook my '47 M to a pulling sled. But at the same time I'd never completely restore my M, putting it back to original, either. It's a farm tractor and it farms. It'll pull a hayrack in a parade but other than that it doesn't get displayed much, it just works.

My point being, to each there own. Some restore, some farm, some pull. In my mind it would benefit everyone and draw more people to appreciate our old tractors if we got along and played together.

But if a group of people wants to display their tractors and exclude other peoples tractors, well, it's there show... I guess it's time for you to put on your own event and display your tractors. I know it's much easier said than done, but where there's a will there's a way. And if your tractors "steal the show" your event will be one to see!

Just don't exclude other peoples tractors as you have been excluded. Make it open for all old tractors. In other words treat others as you want to be treated.

later,
mark.
