I would love to go see them, and just may go when they are close. Haven't been in about 30 years......

Yeah, I'm local to the area. Usually we only go on Sunday, the kids usually like the play area before we watch the monster trucks. They replaced those stands last year because a tree fell on them when we got all that ice and snow in the 2013/2014 winter.
When I was a kid some thirty years ago my sixth grade teacher did tractor pulls with a modified truck. He never made a peep about it until one day one of the other kids came in and had pictures of him in the truck. |

The monster trucks are usually a good time, try to check out some pulls this year if you can. My dad started in the 80's and has been doing it ever since, this is our newest puller and he built it about 10 years ago. |

Hell if I remember. I think it's been in a magazine or poster someplace also. I've been to a few pulls. It's awesome. My truck would be fun to enter in the stock category but I'm sure I'd break something and that's not very fun. |

I've seen your truck many times before at the Sublimity Harvest Festival. Cool! If I see you down there this year, I'll have to come introduce myself now that I know you're a fellow arfcommer. Now you just need a BFL on the truck somewhere.

Okay, finally got video to work. Yes it's awful cellphone video, but I'm in the pit crew, not the photographer. As you can hear, we completely lost power at the end, we pulled it back into the pits and it's sitting there pissing out fuel. Come to find out our fuel line had come loose and was spraying more fuel outside of the motor than in, so that doesn't make for much power But it was still enough to get the win, so we're cleaning it up today and it should be ready to do it again, but a bit better, tonight. Another video from the stands http://vid1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa341/BoxofRox873/20150619_211623_zpspexyl1js.mp4 |

View Quote The sled was definitely different than we're used to. It was overall just a heavy sled so it took some power to get it going and then when the weight hits the top the axles actually lift up and all the weight is on the skid and it just flat stops people. It was a very nice sled but you have to drive it a certain way. We didn't bring the power soon enough tonight and got second place, with this sled you need to build your speed as soon as you can. Live and learn. Do you have a puller? |

Pulled in Ellensburg last night and got 1st, still here today for another hook tonight. Going to do a gear change and see if we can't do better. The elevation messed us up a bit and we came with more gear than the motor could pull.

Extremely easy, we use a pro fab transfer case and you just pop off a handful of small nuts and the cover comes off and you pull 2 gears out of one size and your put 2 gears in of a different size. I'll snap a couple pics when we change them later. |

Heading to Mollala for a pull tonight. Then we're going over to the woodburn drag strip for an afternoon pull tomorrow and back to Mollala for an evening pull again.

How did you do in Molalla? I was in the area combining tall fescue and couldn't make it to the pull.

View Quote The first night at Mollala we got 1st, then we went to the dragstrip and got 1st, then back to Mollala for a 3rd place pull. We dropped gears to pull at the dragdragstrip and left it in for the second mollala hook and that proved to be a wrong decision. We never gained much mid-track speed. It's been a lot of years since we've gotten as low as 3rd. We did see someone harvesting grass between mollala and woodburn, could that have possibly been you? Or are you futher off the main road? |

[#43]
Oh I gotcha...yeah this was an older combine and I think it was orange, but I'm not sure on that. I didn't recognize it.
I have never been in that area and the landscape is pretty amazing. Just flat fields completely lined by thick tree lines and everything is super green. There was an old school tractor pull on saturday too, just outside of Mollala. Did you hear anything about that? They were pulling a blue sled. There was a car show too, seemed like a busy weekend. |

I know just about all the farmers between Molalla and Woodburn. I'm guessing the combine you seen was the guy that has the old Massey Ferguson 750. I had quite a few friends that pulled at the old school tractor pull you saw. I used to do it myself back when I wasn't so busy with grass seed harvest. I probably also know some of the folks locally that pull against you guys with the modifieds. One of them has a Ag Liming business and is partnered up with a guy who's last name is shared with a cowboy hat company. I don't really know either of them real well, other than for the reason that we are all locals to the area. |

[#45]
Yup, very familiar with him. I was curious where he was located, guess this pull must have been in his backyard.
|

[#46]
Pull tonight and tomorrow night in Sublimity. Tomorrow will have monster trucks as well.
|
|
[#47]
This is usually the biggest one of the year for us. They went and ripped the track as deep as they could so it's not going to be great for pulling. But we'll do what we can.
|
|
[#48]
I'm not going to be able to make it out this year. Too much family business going on this weekend. It's unfortunate. It will be the first time I have missed the harvest fest in years. Good luck with your pull.

Here's a video from the first night, this was actually the very first time I got to pull. So in this video is my maiden voyage of Lethal Injection at 6:30. I was kind of nervous but was really unsure of how to feel the motor, so I came out a little lazy and that cost me a few feet. It was a hell of a good time though. https://youtu.be/q15lT0LezsQ Much more exciting sitting in the seat than it is sitting in the stands, that's for sure. View Quote Great video!!
