horsefeathers 15 #1 Posted February 22, 2011 Let's do a little bench racein'!! Who here at Red Square has the fastest tractor? I know it ain't me!!! Got my arse handed to me on this one! Sorry I couldn't defend the Wheel Horse name sake! But that "Crapsman" was fast! Beating out all takers, including a 1000cc susiki bad azz racing tractor! Sooo... What do you have? Fast, half azz, or full on??? HORSEFEATHERS! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 42,966 #2 Posted February 22, 2011 That Crapsman didn't have a Tecky did it? When I was a kid a friend had a 75 cc Kawi mini bike that was fast. He challenged another friend who had a Fox mini with a 5 HP Tecky. The Kawi pulled out fast until the 2nd friend reached down and pulled on the governor lever! The Kawi got destroyed! :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
littleredrider 409 #3 Posted February 22, 2011 Dunno what the speed is but my 63 ranger/1333 has the stock pulley on the motor but a 2" on the tranny, with the 23" tires hauls some serious a$$ for a tractor, enough to blow your hair back. Wait, I don't have any hair!!!! My go-tee then!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mavfreak 11 #4 Posted February 22, 2011 my old mtd lawn mower has a 7 speed gear box with a 18 hp briggs tiwn on it. It'll move out pretty good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

clintonnut 126 #6 Posted February 22, 2011 Probably my d250 i got a speeding ticket at the show 2 years ago. It has a road gear Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VinsRJ 723 #7 Posted February 22, 2011 The weak link in my Rat set up is the early RJ 5003. Not to worry though, I've got a up graded/modded 5003 in the works for more HP and RPMs. See you in June HorseFeathers :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Horse'n Around 22 #10 Posted February 22, 2011 As slow as my 702 is,it probably would have outrun the stupid Penske moving truck that I moved here with, especially when we were going uphill. Good grief, I felt like I should have got out and pushed the darned thing. John Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gerry w 2 #12 Posted February 22, 2011 I'm not sure how fast it is, but the 1047 Mutt that Pat built is pretty darn quick! It will snap your head back and throw gravel from it's tires! Est. ground speed was 13mph. and I agree on the wheelie! Gerry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 23,133 #13 Posted February 22, 2011 My B-100 is the fastest ship in the fleet.(not running at the moment). In Navy talk, a ship is "made fast" by tying it up at the dock. Love that wheely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill 4 #15 Posted February 22, 2011 Probably my d250 i got a speeding ticket at the show 2 years ago. It has a road gear I would have to agree you, when I had my 250 you could just about stay in the seat when it was in high gear Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jusjeepn 59 #16 Posted February 22, 2011 Gerry, that 1047 moves pretty good but TT's black tractor put's it to shame. If Dennis finishes that racer, it should have an est. speed of 32mph at 3300rpm with 22" tires. Here's a pic of Gerry's 1047 after completion Here's a video of it during the build. You can get a good idea how fast it is. Here's a pic of Dennis' Racer And the heavily modified drive and steering system! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly 1,033 #17 Posted February 22, 2011 I would bet that some of the pulling tractors here are pretty fast like Deerehunters V twin powered puller, or Bearpaths pullers, Jim M just picked upp one that I bet is plenty fast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 17,682 #18 Posted February 22, 2011 The plans are already in the works for more speed on this one and about 4 inches of drop for the front. Maybe we can do some racing behind the buildings at the big show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,156 #19 Posted February 23, 2011 It's only good for about 18-20mph, but it's still governed @ 3800/3900rpm and the "short" tires definitely don't help. Someday I'll dig it back out of the shed and work on it a little more. :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clintonnut 126 #20 Posted February 23, 2011 Not just the D-250 but the 953 with the cruzin' pulleys did plenty fast too! I think anyone who saw it at the show can back that up. Charlie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe we can do some racing behind the buildings at the big show. DEFINITELY! Just make sure "security" isn't around! They take the key and give it to pops! They will be on our races.
