 Topic: State Fair pulls (IA) courtesy IPTV
Posted: 22 Aug 2011 at 3:35pm |
This was posted on facebook. Thought I would post it here. Notice how many orange tractors are shown. Going orange is going GREAT! Richenhagen doesn't think anyone cares about the orange heritage. HA! He can go jump in a lake!

Red, were you there for the pulls? When the first D21 came up the announcers both talked about having pulled them back when the 21 was the top dog in the fight and they seem to be making a comeback in the light super stock class.

No, I didn't go to the fair at all this year. I felt they had fleeced me enough last year to last a while. My family and I went on a little trip to Duluth, MN to get away from the heat for a bit.
I don't think there is anything out there that stirs up the same emotions among pulling fans as a hard charging D21 or a 301 in a 180,190,200. They can't match up in cubic inches, but they can compete as hard as anyone else out there.

If you look at the history of the champions for the NTPA, there were many AC tractor champions in the 70's. I think 1987 was the last year an AC won in any of the classes. It seems most of them today are JD and IH tractors.
