The best tractor you can use is right under your nose and you own it already. The 8n ford. They are very competitive if you set them up right. We have a guy around here in michigan that has a very strong 8n and is almost always a winner in his class whether it is transfer sled or stone boat. I pulled my 9n totally stock in Oakley last year on the stone boat and pulled 205% with it without doing ANYTHING to it. Everybody else in my class had weights all over their tractors, front and back, different hitches made up, straight pipes, big carbs, engines that were not stock. The winner pulled 237%. The reason you don't see a lot of 8n's and 9n's pulling is because they are all home doing something constructive, like brushogging, discing a garden, plowing, plowing snow, drilling post holes, hauling dirt, you name it. The reason people use a lot of Old Jd B, A, Allis Chalmers A, B,C, Farmall A, B, is because they have a very limited use for anything else besides pulling a wagon or for parades. Not very utility oriented but they make great pullers. Fords are very utility oriented and make very good pullers too. Tractor pulling is like bracket racing, you don't have to be the fastest or biggest, just be the best one there that day. And even if you loose, who cares? You only get a cheap trophy if you win. No money to be had in that sport. It is all for fun. More people will remember your lone ford at the pull than a sea of orange, green, and red tractors.

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: JB Weld - by Staff. JB Weld is basically an epoxy glue that does an exceptionally good job of bonding to cast iron and steel along with several other materials. As I mentioned, it is so common that I have yet to buy a tractor that did not have JB Weld used somewhere. It is sometimes used so well you can't tell its there and other times used as a sloppy quick fix. Finding where and how it can be used correctly is key to whether you are using it as an "inelegant hack" or an integral solution to difficult and expens ... [Read Article]
