Well, we did it. Five of us brave souls went to Columbus for the 33rd Annual Winter Nationals. As I stated before, Hilliard added a goverend twin class and also a Kids class this year. I personally believe that they were a huge success.
So we made the trip, all the tractors passed tech and were entered in the Gov. Twin class. This also included 16hp tractors as well. Anyone running 23" tires with a twin were givern 5000 rpm, 1100lbs, and a 13" hitch height. 16hp also got 5000 rpm. I am not sure if the 16's got 1100lbs or not. Also the rest of the tractors ran 26" tires. They were given 4500 rpm, and 1000lbs.
It didn't look good for us little tire guys. I personally was really nervous after seeing some of the other tractors with their MSD boxes with chips in them. 31 tractors made up the class and the 23" guys held their own. From 1st place back to about 20th there was like 10' difference. From 5th to 8th was less than a foot.
Congratulations to everyone that pulled at Columbus!
Also.....Stay tuned for details on HDM's 3rd annual winter party.

This is me pulling at the 33rd Annual Winter Nationals in Columbus. I managed to wrangle a 6th place finish out of 31 tractors. Not a great pic sorry.
PULLER OF THE WEEK!
