wallfish 18,149 #5 Posted March 7, 2016 Ah ha, Was wondering what ever became of that tractor. Bring it to the show! I might not even have a custom to bring. As far as "How Fast?" Saltywright (Russ) had a GPS and clocked it at 37 mph I think. When it was built and had some pulley swapping going on during testing, I'd bet it was going faster than that but it wasn't stable enough to be safe, so it was brought back down to manageable speed. Still a little white knuckle driving but not really that scary. Some of the pulleys look different now so who knows. I see someone took those unusual AG tires and changed from a foot pedal to the hand throttle. Do you have the belt guard? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevebo-(Moderator) 8,534 #13 Posted March 8, 2016 Out in the field you can go as fast as you want. In the actual show you need to be at a safe speed. It is a tractor show, not a race track. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
