IH Forever Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 That is cool....but quite possibly the slowest tractor pull I've ever seen. Not sure I could watch much of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve C. Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Grandson and I go to that pull every year. Threshermen's picnic in Pinckneyville, IL. Every year, they feature a different brand. Last year it was Deere - they had the original Cajun Queen I on display there. One year it was just 460s and 560s, IIRC. They always make a demo pull with an engine like that. Really slow, but unstoppable. They shovel sawdust in to the firebox to make mucho sparks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a pretty cool sight seeing them come out onto the track. I think they used to pull national back in the day. Hans Boxler and later Hans jr the tractor was called ‘the special’. I haven’t seen it run in at least 5or6 years and Hans sr passed away a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farmall Doctor Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 This is the most popular video on my channel. My good friend on his 30-90 Russel pulling the sled in Wauseon Ohio at the National Threshers show. It's a great engine and he is one of the best engineers.

Farmall Doctor Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Oh, and I find it interesting that the 110 in the first video used to be owned by my late friend Graham Sellers in Michigan. I ran that very engine the first time I was at NTA many years ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmall Doctor Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Spark shows are awesome no matter how many times I have seen them. The crowd loves it! Us engineers are always rooting on for our buddies. At NTA we have had as many as 6 going at once, including one on the pull sled, and a road locomotive making laps on the track! This year I rode around the track with a friend on a little steam runabout. I have tried to spark a few times, with varying success. Some engines are better for sparking, and some engineers just have the knack for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
