I did win their open class on the 210 though! That was pretty cool since those guys have beat me up pretty bad in the past. It only put a foot on second, so not like I brought a gun to a knife fight lol! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The information I found is that is was a 8070 with a Komatsu engine and extended hood. It was an 8095 prototype. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your pull looked good from the stands also 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was watching some plowing and everything came to a screeching halt because some jack wagon got his buggy hung up in the furrow. BK Now there is a new award to be given- Jack Wagon of the Show, or JWOTS for short. Sometimes, competition could be fierce.😁 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like the two rows he's picking have already been picked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those sure are good pickers and I really enjoyed watching you run. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick G. Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 What is that guy’s problem with that 806? Dang!!!! Looks dangerous he’s even getting bounced up out of his seat. Either that or he is intentionally standing up??? W-T-? The rear tires look over-sized for the tractor for one thing. Could that be the problem? Getting too much tire bite instead of allowing for a small percentage of slippage? I see he has front end weights installed. Geez…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Kirsch Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Anybody find it funny that the 100 Years of Farmall display had a FORD tractor representing 2023? Anybody find it funny that most of the equipment at the "Half Century of Progress" which is supposed to be about how far we've come in the last 50 years (i.e. since 1973), is MORE than 50 years old?

The sign at the beginning of the IH row was on JD running gear. Thought that was ironic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, that makes sense. Cool outfit...........what model 66 is hiding in the picker? The first mounted picker I ran was a Deere 226 on a "B" tractor, then a 227 on a 60. Went to a New Idea pull-type after that, but I still have a great love for corn pickers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dzldenny Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 This was the norm for us plowing for close to twenty years. 1026 pulling 5-16s. Full rack of weights up front. Besides that, we would take the rear weights off the other tractors and hang them off the front with chains. Well over a ton of weight out front and would walk down hills like this. Red and worse yet, blue clay. Didn't matter how slow you went. Eventually bought a 2470 Case. All 8 of the 18.4-34 filled with fluid and the full rack of weights. Still pulled the front up on that! Spun the rims in the tires. Eventually tore the bottoms clean off that poor plow. When it's hard pulling...pull harder. Thanks for the pictures guys.

Matt Kirsch Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Maybe they should rename the show to "Half Century of Showoffs." From the plowing video nobody else was having such trouble. I mean, it's an 806, with big meats, pulling a 4-bottom plow. Don't care how hard the plowing is, it's not going to pull a wheel stand like that unless you're trying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
