2009 DEADWEIGHT PULLING FROM RUSHVILLE, IN AUG 1ST 2009

GOING BACK TO THE BEGINNINGS OF TRACTOR PULLING!!!! PULLING THE OLD STONE BOAT. A FULL PULL IS 15FT

[@EPIKBashingRC]

Ah the old family past time of watching people attach their tractors to immovable objects.

[@Just1Spark]

I live just down the road and never even heard of this. Would like to watch. Its damn kewl. Looks like it takes MUCH more skill and precision just to move a foot, than modern pulling with a sled. Like guessing the combination to a safe. But once you get the right combination, I bet its pretty sweet.

[@designertjp-utube]

Good God Amighty! Us JD Men got our Asses handed to us today by them dang Farm-alls and smooth cranking Internationals (were those 4 cylinder monsters?). I figure only the *JD* *Model* *720* Dude towards the video end had a decent "pulling plan" and power plant (even though he went less than 2 feet). I almost cried watching this because I was a child in 1964 and thought my Grandpa'a powerful JD A (handcrankstarter) was the greatest tractor on the dang planet! As an L.A. Designer (who admires The Late Great JD Stylist Henry Dreyfuss), what would happen if we use a thicker treaded rear tire with the treads "spaced" out a bit. I'd even suggest "grinding down" every other V-Shaped Tread. I've seen Motocross Bikes, set up like this when racing in mud or mountain Hill Climbin'! Could Work Here!

[@TaisinViper]

damn I'm boring I could sit out in a the field drinking beer and watch this all day

[@mrvalleyboy64]

It's nice seeing real tractors pulling instead of a bunch of modified junk

[@duanedean6470]

A full pull is 15 feet? Nobody is making it pass the previous dug holes. So what is the point other then to see who can get stuck in another guys holes and spin out.

[@gregberry7000]

this is the way tractor pulling is suppose to be. if I wanted to see drag racing I would go to the race track instead of to a tractor pull I pull in the se kind of pulls here in KY and love it. get to play all night usually.

[@icestormradio]

This is almost as exciting as watching grass grow!

[@mattgrooms3298]

You don't have to watch this you know.

[@tomrisar5492]

I like green grass and tractors.

[@peggynesmith9325]

@@mattgrooms3298 AAAAAA

[@BigCrzyRdNeck]

those old deeres were the tank back in the day not one bogged

[@TheKySharpshooter]

Not to mention they are running way too much air in the tires. You gotta let them wrinkle! I wish I had video from the pulls we had when I was a teenager. You didn't see anyone looking at their spinning tires with the engine wide open and never touching a brake, that's for sure!

[@wkeil1981]

what are the large tubes coming off the wheels

[@Ggordonhorseballs]

Im watching MotoGP and this video simultaneously and its a toss up which is more interesting. The torque and gearing combine to make these old tractors very very powerful tools, more so than what I would have thought. Braaap

[@wb6162]

NO END to the torque of those old JD's.

[@farkfamilyfarm]

I know in the heavier classes they have weight hung everywhere on the tractor like 40,000 lbs. worth. I'd hate to throw all that weight. I don't like putting on 1000 to weigh up for the next class. If thats your thing then go for it.

[@davidkarlsson976]

What is that for any Case? :D looks nice!

[@slimG2082]

Oh I have pulled a transfer sled quite a few times

[@conek2]

Looks like there were few who knew to use lower tire pressure.

[@4x4American]

here we go, some old fashioned fun

[@mikemiller6362]

Would duals help any

[@MrJohndeerejon]

I love tractor pulls but they don't have a good track to see how well they could pull

[@SubvenioArguo]

A diff-lock and dual wheels needed.

[@IH682D]

this would be fun! A real challenge

[@ricksaquaticsbyrickferguso4503]

Too much weight for these oldies. What is the point? Been to a lot of tractor pulls but this one 🤦‍♂️

[@arwenruby1637]

I remember when guys would walk up and stand on the sled for weight as you went along.

[@dixiemudnut]

@TaisinViper hel yea

[@pkf129]

all spin no pull GREAT TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@gunton21]

The point is !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@crandonborth8020]

to see how fast you can wreck a tractor

[@dutchlawnmowerman]

thats just f*cking up nice tractors.

[@Kowalursus1992]

Podczepcie tam URSUSA C-45 to wam te skrzynie z tymi płytami w pola wywiezie ;)

[@centaurogrizzly24]

a cette époque en Amerique on n'avait pas inventé le bloquage de diférentiel !

[@ruston48]

Any Pharaoh's seeing this wont be too impressed with us, I liked it though

[@JessicaTG2008]

This is why it costs so much to grow corn, soybeans, wheat and feed people in America. When farmers have nothing better to do between planting and harvest they do shit like this, add up the cost and pass it on to the consumer at the end of the year when they write it off their taxes and ask for subsidy money the next year.

[@barman882007]

i see why we pull sleds now

[@MrSotyguy]

Its not about speed, its about torque. marvel at the engineering not the pizazz

[@BLTPAlegopulling]

Sorry, but how does this require more driving skill than pulling a transfer sled? all you do is spin out! with the transfer sled, you still have to weight your tractor correctly and there are weight limits. this seems pointless as none of them actually go anywhere!

[@MrSotyguy]

Its not about speed, its about torque. marvel at the engineering not the pizazz......

[@DesertDigger1]

Everything has its limitations.

[@pamdalziel1577]

can I have the first farmall that pull

[@luckyran3]

what the hell is the point? everybody sittin' there watching their tractor dig holes. a big crowd pleaser I'm sure.

[@peterbloss]

i think i can i think i can

[@derekwalter1334]

The video should have been called "watch tractors spin tires at unbelievably slow speeds"

[@SgXGamming]

I bet a fair sized steam tractor could easilly pull one of them

[@bighowardshsn]

ground is to soft =p

[@Swannyberg97]

I'd like to see you try xD

[@800canamrider]

Whats the point of this? There not even goin anywhere

[@luckyran3]

@SocialScrotem i agree totally--stupid--duh, just diggin' holes--

[@KPearce57]

Nothing, if you could only use the same amount of fuel:)

[@bigman55434]

...and then they created the rototiller...

[@jrmym2]

They all move about a foot and then spin the tires. Kinda underwhelming.

[@billybonewhacker]

my isn't this exciting!

[@SocialScrotem]

so whats a full pull?...3-4 feet. Come on, why not just hook to an oak tree and dig holes all the way around it.

[@Joelontugs]

Im on that side of youtube again

[@Rodgers2225]

its a good way to dig hole loll

[@jamesthompson7591]

Must really suck to live out in the country.

[@bogiewheelman71]

like watching paint dry .

[@97cummins58]

That is totally unfair, way to much weight for such small tractors.

[@richjd630]

kinda pointless, just hook up to a sled and have fun.

[@hwvanzant3007]

i DIDNT KNOW HOW THOSE OLD OLIVER TRACTORS WOULD DO IN THIS KIND OF COMPETION. I THOUGHT THEY WERE PRETTY MUCH JUNK JUST BECAUSE OF THAT PUT PUT SOUND. I WAS WRONG. VERY IMPRESSED

[@slimpickins1513]

Raminator indiana My family used to have nothing but Oliver tractors back in the day. The bigger 1900 and 1950 had 2 stroke GM diesels. They were powerhouses, not to mention LOUD!!!

[@kevinkistlerjr4035]

p

[@leonardlett8034]

,

[@peterolson9055]

These guys aren't even as smart as the tractors

[@darkninetailedfox]

then you dont know real tractor pulling

[@drpepper69er101]

this is so pointless

[@MrJoeGarner]

Lol, this will never be a motor sport.

[@derdampfhammer6652]

Gay

[@jacebigelow]

I've never seen a dead weight pull in person. Do they repair the ground and somehow pack it back down between pulls ? Looks like everyone has traction problems - the ground can't handle the torque... Great video just like all your others - thanks for editing and posting it. -Jace :)

[@american_patriot1776]

Yes they do, i pull at them.

[@TheKySharpshooter]

I can't believe they aren't lugging the engine and working the brakes more! I used to do this on an old Farmall M.

[@DesertDigger1]

No suitcase weights?? WTF? This was a great video but would have been a lot fairer on a properly prepared packed track instead of a soggy soybean field,everything has its limitations whether it be red or green.I would have liked to see something with tracks give it a whirl.

[@slimG2082]

this is how tractor pulling started back in the day more skill is needed to pull a stone boat the a transfer sled and you have to know your tractor and the ground and how to weight the tractor

[@darkninetailedfox]

dude this is the old day pulling before the sled was invented even that old 826 international didnt get a full pull this is much harder then pulling a sled

[@CJPWNSALL]

not to hate or anything but if your spinning and are not moving anywhere dont keep fucking digging down chances are your not gonna start moving again..

[@79tazman]

Why not hook two tractors together and the one that pulls the other wins it would be more fun then watching them pull dead weight

[@st503]

once they start digging a hole why do they just keep digging it ive never seen it in person either but i couldnt watch that all day

[@TeaBagsForDays]

Well that's just personal preference, I quite enjoyed the video, and watched all ten minutes and fifty four seconds of it. .

[@noshsreqd]

Jeez, why not take off a few stones so someone could actually go 15 feet?

[@DairyFarmer814]

If your gonna move that sld, you are gonna have to snap (or pop) the clutch to jerk it so it will start to move.

[@pipus4444]

haha the secret is tire pressure, the lower the better , those who manage a actual pull had very low tire pressure

[@d25j4149]

I know these are for rubber tired tractors but a crawler tractor once in a while would make a good comparison

[@IngmarxEsmee]

I dont think these guys are too clever.. Still, when drunk I would really enjot watching this

[@buschbeer8998]

i see a bunch of tractors spinning not pulling, hook a big bud 747 and see what happens :}

[@darkninetailedfox]

@gxr420 why come to the videos then why dont you go back to the stock pulls instead

[@bendonker]

Note to self: Get MFWD tractor lol! I wonder if they would let you pull in reverse?

[@Andyshemi]

This is just plain madness! I hope no one paid a hook fee for this shite!

[@Darian-mk1bw]

I love tractor pulls but this is stupid lol

[@Way2Fast450r]

heard they had a good event last year too, only 5 people died.

[@satchelh]

i'm glad they invented the transfer sled because this sucks.

[@79tazman]

Nothing runs like a deere but nothing pulls like a farm-all

[@kleetus92]

It's literally a game of inches. Keep em churning and you'll gain a little and that's all that counts.

[@UpcomingJedi]

Whats the matter? Are you mad because the other guy beat your jalopy that disassembled itself faster than if it was made in China right out of the starting line? LOL!!

[@IH682D]

This looks like a lot of fun! Why all the haters

[@dieselkenny]

Looks like all they are doing is digging holes

[@ogenmatic]

why not just get backhoes and dig the holes?

[@fixitdude74]

Lanz bulldog burry itself, no help needed!!

[@savagenomore]

no, but you can drag it a few feet through a field with a tractor....lmao

[@TheDarthEmperor]

My Hemi will drag that shit by the tale!!

[@AntiqueEngineNut]

I think your in need of a 110 hp case.... That would get the job done!

[@clintonwhite8126]

i pull a transfer sled and i agree this is harder, harder to balance harder to judge balance etc. we have this around my area and i have first hand experience on how much more difficult it is than a speed pull and it is great to see the old john deeres, farmalls, internationals, and oliver out there having a good time

[@19mg94]

they need a allis chalmer out there

[@dougp5573]

We pull 100',if our club changed to 8' pull's I would sell my pulling tractor's.Has anyone ever got out of a hole?...why let them keep spinning??

[@codimiller4157]

john deere model a and b!!!!!!!!!!
