[AT] tractor pulling----old style

[charlie hill]

Those pulls depend more on  height of hitch,  weight on rear of truck, 
limited slip axles and type of tires than on horsepower.   A friend of mine 
is a farrior.  He used to have (20 years ago) a Ford F100 with an inline 6 
and manual transmission.  It had overload springs on the rear that held the 
bumper up high because he had about 500 lbs of horse shoes, and anvil and 
other heavy stuff inside the camper shell on the back.  He hooked bumper to 
bumper with a brand new Chevy with a big block engine and dragged the man 
all over the yard.  It wasn't a Ford Vs Chevy thing, a HP thing or anything 
except he had more weight and his hitch was pulling the other guys rear end 
up off the ground.
