[AT] Vintage tractor pulling advice

[Danny Tabor]

    Thats cool they'll let you pull with steel wheels
and you won't hurt the track that badly. Although I'm
sure some will complain that you were the reason they
couldn't pull any further than they did. Will this be
a non-competitive fun pull?

 Make certain your drawbar is at the maximum height
their rules allow Or as high as it'll go w/o modifying
it. Our rules are 20" from the ground to the point of
hook but the most important thing is to make certain
you have good bolts holding your hitch together/ on
the tractor. 
      Whatever you do, have fun!!! That is what
tractor pulling is all about. I enjoy watching people
at the pulls. Taking notice of the poker faces some of
the pullers put on and pointing out the
"professionals".
