We had a test-n-tune at a new track last week. Made about 6 pulls. The sled was set up to let you pull over 100 feet. Planted my but firmly in the seat, leaned back as far as I could and kept both hands on the steering wheel to avoid shifting my weight to one side or the other. I could tell a difference. The tractor tracked mostly straight. When it didn't, I could lean to one side or the other to straighten it out. The track was a hard track so no digging holes this time. It was a good day.
Tried different tires. The 23" super lugs did great and pulled 157 feet. The AT101s also did good at 159 feet. My 26" tires didn't do well, 134 feet. I don't have the gears to run them properly.
Our club lost it insurance and had to cancel the last pull. Hoping they straighten it out before the trophy pull in October.
