Here I am pulling Dad's 1953 70 gas.

Here I am on my 1955 70 Diesel. I should have won the award for the most smoke. LOL

I pulled against an 820 and an 830. Needless to say I got third. LOL They both got full pulls with the weight I pulled, so we put my 70 on the sled for weight. They got full pulls again. So they put a 40 crawler on the sled behind my 70. The sled weighed right at 16000 pounds before any one started stepping on it. The 830 ended up beating the 820 because it weighed 1000 pounds less than the 820 and the points are figured by percentage. The 820 weighed 10800.
The 830 pulling.

The 820 pulling.

That is an interesting type of sled. The only times I've seen stock tractor pulling they had a sled where the weights would slide forward. You definitely should have won something for making the most smoke.

It is a low budget sled. They used to use a regular pulling sled with the weight box that moved. But it cost around 1200 dollars to get that sled to show up. This sled works just as good and gets more people involved. My Dad was person number 13 and he stopped a lot of tractors. He is the one that stopped me in the pull with his tractor. ;D

I like that sled and how the weight were actual people. Cool videos.
