    Pete, thanks for attending our event. We started this event 12 year’s ago as a memorial for a local farmer and avid puller Dorr Reynolds and added my father Dave Becker to it when he passed away. Any profits from our pulls go to Sempronius Fire Department or the Moravia FFA. We strive to make this a fun and entertaining event for spectators and pullers.

    Hi Pete! My name is Callie and I'm 27 years old, for the past few years since college I've been trying to figure out what the heck to do with my life. My dad recommended your channel to me when I expressed an interest in farming/homesteading as my dream job. I came on here to say that I absolutely love your videos!!! I watch your new videos on weekend mornings and often have you on in the background; I always let the ads play through, I appreciate what you do and I hope it makes a difference!! Not only do I learn so much about truly sustainable agriculture, I also feel as if you, Hilarie, and the kids are dear friends! My dad recently gifted me your book, A Year and a Day On Just a Few Acres, and you have very quickly become my biggest role model. Thank you so much for sharing your journey and inspiring this future farmer! :)

    After I went to college, Dad traded for a JD 80 and JD 730, both wide front ends. Someone else commented how big the pistons and cylinders were. Something like 6” diameter and a foot long for the piston. Massive things.

      @@8tomtoms8 Pretty close! We had to replace one in the 730; the lower skirt had actually broken off. We discovered that changing the oil when pieces fell into our catch pan. Dad thought I’d dropped the plug, but when I showed him I had it in my hand, we knew something was desperately wrong. The tractor still worked, I guess all the pieces just broke up and sat down in the oil pan. Tough old tractor!

This summer (after watching your channel for over a year) was so much more educated about the tractors and even struck up a conversation with a local FFA teacher who talked me through a Farmall M their group restored for a project and they had there on display. Thanks for your channel and for your positive attitude.

During their show in August they pull all 3 days of the show. The chairman of the transfer sled pulls reported over 2000 hooks this past summer. Antique tractor pulling is alive and well in mid Michigan!

    I think they also had some tractors but I wasn't interested in them. They were too loud. This was in the 60s and 70s. A neat memory. Thanks. :-)

    Thanks for the video Pete. At our pull in Western NY, where we have six days of pulling and garden tractors included per year, we use a dead pull sled or boat which is very basic. This system is used at horse pulls and is used at many tractor pulls. There can be a disadvantage to letting air out of tires because it lowers the draw hitch and you can loose purchase on the sled. Some people have gone to recommended pressures because of this. Our pulls are very popular and bring extra money to our antique equipment club. Keep up the very interesting videos Pete.

I remember going to antique tractor pulls where the sled was a flat sheet of iron and as it went down the track, bystanders stepped onto the sheet until the tractor stopped! Then, to add additional weight, they'd put 55 gallon drums of cement onto it. Good times! Not OSHA approved, though. Blessings from Ohio!
