| Charlie, there are several things you can try.... I didnt see the front end rise, maybe a little less air pressure, longer draw bar, but if you can do it jump up a gear , I always pulled 4500, 5500 in 2nd on the low side, 18.4X 26's @ 6psi. Have you ever fallen asleep at 3mph?, I thought 3.5 was slow........ |

ha! yes 3mph is slow! I'm in the process of wearing down the tires a little, adjusting the stock hitch to 20" (17 now). ------------- Charlie '48 B, '51 CA, '56 WD45 '61 D17, '63 D12, '65 D10 , '68 One-Ninety XTD |

Pulled today, had the camera pointed to the rear to see the tires how the traction is going. Dry track, 5000lb, pulled 238' in 2nd low but ran out of power. Front only danced a little bit. WD45 beat me with a full pull and he had power to spare. 2nd pull in 5500 I pulled 178' in High 1st and spun out, I tried to hug the right side for a new fresh line but that didn't work out. I had the drawbar at 20" but stock length. Will a shorter drawbar help based on what you saw? Tires had 8 psi. Around the pits I think I had the only stock drawbar setup. Plus most of the tractors had the air filter disconnected. It wasn't dusty but I can't imagine running no filter.

it bit real nice on that pull! it sounds like you need to play around with the drawbar length now to try and maximize your leverage. your on the right track,it's trial and error til you get it right. and don't forget to video it for us. ------------- D-19 gas w/f-sold 185-d yr round cab 95 mustang gt 5.0 86 mustang 5.0 coupe 3 99 f-250 7.3 4x4's 96 f-250 7.3 4x4 |
