[AT] Marvel-Schebler carb question

[Brett Phillips]

Sounds like the local pulls.  Everybody has a big, bad JD G or a Farmall
Super M, so most of the substance of a pull is concentrated in two or maybe
three classes.  This has unfortunately led to fewer classes, so that if you
want to participate, you need to spend a little more money than you once
did.  Of course you might argue that it was always that way, especially if
you intended to win...
I gave up pulling sleds, and went to pulling plows, disks, and hay rakes
instead.  The competition is just as keen, with the weather, etc. as your
adversary.
