- King of the Hill Class–anyone who would like to pull in this class can do so. It will be a “just for fun class” for anybody weighing 5000#.
- We are here to have fun, and put on a good show. We want a level playing field in all classes so make sure you are entering the appropriate class. If the Pull Committee feels you are pulling in a class you shouldn’t, we will ask you to move classes.
Farm Stock Rules
- Stock RPM rigidly enforced: there will be ZERO tolerance for any governor wires/strings/modified choke linkages etc.
- Must obey speed limits that are set for the class you are pulling, speed board will be at the end of the track. If a puller breaks the speed limit before the 75 foot mark, they will have a one-time option to restart the sled. If they break the speed limit a second time they will be disqualified for that class.
- Must use factory drawbar. No alterations.
- Tire size must be no larger than the largest factory farm tire option for that tractor, no cut tires.
- Factory rims and rim size are required. No pressed or stamped wheels unless originally offered as factory options. Cutoffs will be allowed as long as the tire/rim size is within spec. i.e. WC tractors etc.
- Regular gas, diesel fuel, or factory LP gas only. No racing fuel.
- Tractors must have the stock engine block and components that came with the tractor. No D-17 engines in WC, no D-15 engines in RC etc. If the engine block is newer or larger than what was original you will need to pull in the Improved Farm Stock classes or pull exhibition.
