Mitch: So you just found out another one of life's little secrets. Pound for pound that little offset is the best tractor IH ever built. Doesn't matter whether it be A, SA, 100, 130 or 140, given their own weight they make their big brothers look very ordinary. I'll throw you another idea for next summer. Find a sheet of 1/2" steel 4' x 10'. Turn about 5" up 45 degrees at each end. Weld heavy angle iron along each side on the up side. Hook a heavy 4' chain to each end. Now your in business for a real farm situation tractor pull. None of this whimpy stuff of starting with a load that gets heavier as you go. In a real farm situation you start with a full load and go. No classes in this pull, Farmall A competes against the mighty M. The winner is the tractor starting away with and pulling 10' the highest percentage of its own weight. Pullers can add weight to their tractors as they see fit. Adding weight gives no real advantage. Often time it hinders. It doesn't matter whether these are regular letter series or supers, the A will be the tractor to beat. It will cause the others a lot of grief. Operator skill is very important. I've seen 3 guys pull the same tractor and not place in sequence. I've also seen the same guy win with any of these tractors. If I were to enter one of these pulls, my pick would be A or SA. It has the best chance of pulling over 3 times it's own weight. I've seen a lot of these type pulls and from what I've seen would rank A - 1st, H - 2nd, M - 3rd and C - 4th.

Some People Like Red - by Art Willis. I was smitten, as a little boy, by red tractors. I used to play in the coastal sand of my Dad & Mom's home with little red tractors, trucks and cars. I grew up believing that like fire trucks, ALL tractors are supposed to be red! Today, the only way I would drive a John Deere is if someone would paint it RED! Driving a Tractor for the first time - About 19 years ago, when my wife Donna and I moved to what was the country then, I was given access to a large Farmall tractor by a wi
