I like the trucks in the magazine; there's a lot of useful information. But I think the magazine is missing the boat in a potentially huge area: diesel tractor pulling. The readers love all of the trucks with stacks belching smoke from twin turbos at 70-100 psi at 3,000 rpm. Why wouldn't they love to see tractors that make 125 hp from the factory with a single charger transformed into smoke bellowing machines that use up to 4 turbos to make close to 250 psi of boost and turn 7000 rpms and make 2000-3000 horses? And these tractors can weigh between 8,000-10,000 pounds, about the same as a diesel pickup. Can we see so features on some of the big names in pulling, such as Esdon Lehn? An article on some of the Super Semi pullers would be nice too, where you can see 1150 ci Cummins engines with 4 chargers, and weigh 20,000 pounds.  

Hell yeah your in my department.I would love to see that So long as its not all John Deere!GOT to have some FORD tractors or at least New Holland tractors.  

There We Go. Got to love that diesel! Yea, I like the diesel tractors. But I have more experince here with our Ford Powermaster 800 gas, MY 1953 Farmall Super C gas with a Fast Hitch, and our International 506 gas. We do have a newer diesel tractor my grandpa bought before he died. It was a John Deere 15?? (I forget the model number right now)

Anyway, I like watching the oil pulls (antique tractor pulls for you outside Ohio and Kentucky) at the antique machinery show too. Every now and then you will see a rare antique diesel. I SAW A FOUR WHEEL DRIVE FORd 800 ONCE! THOSE ARE RARE NOW!  

Holly Crap a Ford 800 with 4wd there were only like a couple hundred of those ever made.  

I KNOW!! When I saw it I went up to the guy and asked about it. He said his granpa bought it brand new from a local tractor dealer. It was a weird four wheel drive set up too. It had an EXTERNAL driveshaft. It was mounted on the left side of the tractor. It came out of a plate moutned to the side of the trany. I had always wondered what the plate was for on our 800 Powermaster. The front end was a normal curved 800 axle, but had a pumkin in the middle. It was completly restored too. The man said his grandpa and dad used it till it almost fell apart from the rust, and then he restored it. I want one bad now! I saw another 800 Powermaster that was Diesel.

That is the show we go to every year, and that is where we saw it!  

Hey Guys! Great idea! E-mail the editor: david.kennedy@sourceinterlink.com, and tell him you want to see more tractors!  

SO Long as they are FORDs or New Hollands.  

lets gets some tractors in there thats definatly cool as long as were fair and give EVERYONE a fair share
black smoke is good no matter what its from  

You got that right!But Just so you guys are aware I will be a Ford/New Holland man in case this ever goes through.  

Now we are talking! I quit buying the mag for the last couple of months,I was getting tired of 5@6 in exh,trucks made from billion dollor comp money,only things being showed was trucks avertising some product that some shop installed on there truck for them etc.
Nothing real any more.Off road mags do the same thing always the same suspension conversions over and over.  

Yeah what ever happend to leaving trucks stock?  

WELL DURAMAXBEN, I can answer that, When your a fanatic of something you want to make it better, to fit your personal goals. I have alot of my guns custom made or modifide, in my best interest. THE BIG PLUS, is that it will always stick-out.  

Yeah but sticking out is not always a good thing.I don't want to stand out for anything other than having a nice stock truck that I can be proud of.  

speaking of semi pullers check this out. this is the badest ass diesel truck race i've ever seen!!!
