Achto 32,035 #8 Posted May 18 Thanks for sharing the pictures with us. I was kind of in the area yesterday ( West Chicago ) and thought about stopping by. Decided to take care of my business, then turn & burn instead. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If your tractor stops rolling you get black flagged. Hydros generally rule. I did it once on a six speed in 1st/low with the idle turned way down to chug chug and still got beat. Imagine it didn't do any favors for the motor being splash lubed. Would be another good tractor game at the BS. Edited May 18 by WHX?? 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Streetrodchev 1,143 #12 Posted May 18 That Power King was custom built (using factory Power King parts) for the sloooow race, his total reduction ratio is 7780 to 1. 😳 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Streetrodchev 1,143 #15 Posted May 18 (edited) Slow race. Look closely, it is moving. They gave him a disadvantage, he started close to the finish line. IMG_5693.mov Edited May 18 by Streetrodchev 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 57,273 #16 Posted May 18 You get to talk to the guy with the Lennox Kitty Track Jeff? Is it for sale??? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It belongs to Andrew Kitson (the auctioneer at Portage), I doubt it is for sale. But I am first in line for a Power Cat, when the owner decides to sell.

Handy Don 16,908 #21 Posted May 19 I’ve been up close to the full-size Case Quad-track and it is a beast--specifically designed for farms with soft or damp fields, it distributes its weigh widely and is less likely to bog down when pulling large implements . This operating scale model is an amazing piece of work! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not that I would ever have done such a foolish thing. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
