Sounds to me like you guys need a new pulling chairman.

The rules I have seen out here are fairly good. They just aren't
enforced.
Primarily because some of those running the pull are the biggest
cheaters.
They just hope everybody else will follow the rules. They are the first
to point out a cheater if they don't win however. It is a really sick
situation. 

I made the mistake of beating the pulling chairman's tractor at a pull
with a completely stock tractor. The next pull in the same weight class
he pulled with a highly modified and overweight tractor to make sure he
didn't lose again. Winning was the only objective, no matter what rules
had to be bent. 

I just don't want to deal with that crap. Life is too short. 

I pulled for a couple of years without ever winning and nobody gave me
any trouble. And I was content and having a good time but I learned a
little each pull about tire pressure, hitch height and length, speed
control and weight balance. But I happened to win one time and all hell
broke loose. And I was completely following the rules. The real problem
was JD's are not supposed to beat Olivers!  Under any conditions. :-)
