nylyon-(Admin) 7,880 #1 Posted August 2, 2008 Well, it was destined to happen. Here's the lineup... Dad (me, nylyon) on a 1997 314-8 with a mere 93 hours! on the clock Brittany (daughter, Brittany 9 in September) on a 1994 416-H with heck I don't know let's say 370 hours on it. The challenge, which is faster, an 8-speed or Hydro? I would say power wise they're equal, the Hydro takes at least 2 HP more to run than an 8-speed. Who will win? Megan was the photographer, and Brittany was slow to start off..... Let's go to the video tape.... Well Eldon, you did say I could use it, bet you didn't think I was going to race it.... :horseplay: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kj4kicks 154 #2 Posted August 2, 2008 Musta been them crapsman wheel weights slowing you down ! Man, I can't believe you got beat by a girl...... So where's the pictures of the 3' wheelie ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nylyon-(Admin) 7,880 #3 Posted August 2, 2008 Well, no video this time, but we just had a rematch. This time I took the 416-H but Brittany chose the C-160. Wanna guess who wins this time? Let me tell you one thing about the C-160, I believe it is over revving, so I would only let B go to 3/4 throttle. At 3/4 throttle, it is a tie they are exactly the same speed. I had her crank it up a little and the C-160 cruised right by the 416 with ease. Now of course I have to adjust the C-160 so it doesn't over rev (I don't have a single cyl tach though) Next race will be..... Brittany on the C-160 FULL Throttle, dad on a 1987 300ZX Turbo B) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nylyon-(Admin) 7,880 #8 Posted August 2, 2008 BTW, Here are the 2 contenders.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,162 #9 Posted August 2, 2008 That 314 would probably be a lot faster if you would install a...... MULE DRIVE ! :horseplay: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nylyon-(Admin) 7,880 #10 Posted August 2, 2008 It doesn't appear to have EVER had one, there is no scratches where the MULE drive would go. The pullies on the PTO have NO belt wear on them either. This 314 has never had an attachment on it aside from a trailer. How cool is that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,162 #11 Posted August 2, 2008 That is , Karl! I know where there is a 701 that never had anything but a dozer blade mounted on it since 1961. It has a few more hours on it though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WheelHorse_of_course 99 #12 Posted August 2, 2008 Grandpop's 550 never had anything used with it but a wagon and a drop spreader! But we did load up that wagon with lots of rocks - more than once. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldandred 15 #13 Posted August 2, 2008 Does this mean you have to do dishes for a week and take out the trash ? or a bug get in your eye and you had to slow down just make up some thing but let it be good. B) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nylyon-(Admin) 7,880 #15 Posted August 3, 2008 Man, I'll tell ya, little B hasn't let me live down not one loss but a total of 4! She's really hooked, tomorrow she wants all 4 horses running in a race... B) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nylyon-(Admin) 7,880 #18 Posted August 3, 2008 Nope they're the same as the 416 16x6.50-8's Turf Trac R/S 2-ply (416 has 4-ply) The rears are the same too 23x9.50-12 on both. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
perry 82 #19 Posted August 3, 2008 great videos coach . who got the new tractor ?. is it yours ?. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nylyon-(Admin) 7,880 #20 Posted August 3, 2008 No the tractor is Eldon's, it's a very low hour (well not as low anymore ) 1997 314-8. The previous owner is moving next week, so I picked it up for him today. It's really a SOLID machine, and I really like the newer style steering wheel, much thicker and super easy to turn. I think that I'm going to miss this one when he comes to get it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,602 #22 Posted August 3, 2008 Karl, I'm going have to wait until Monday to watch the videos, so for now I won't read the other posts so it won't spoil it for me Monday. It's like taping the big game and avoiding Sports Center until you had the chance to watch it on tape. B) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nylyon-(Admin) 7,880 #25 Posted December 17, 2009 The only problem with a rematch is Brittany is getting better while I am not. She has asked to do all the snow plowing this year. She's probably ready, not sure I am though :notworthy: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
