Hooking a sled

[Chunkspowerstroke]

I am taking my mower to a sled pull this weekend and it is mostly all stock its a ford Lgt 125 hydro I don't know how good it will pull what do you guys think?

hello

Your question is a little vague to get an answer. Depends on how much weight and how you set up your tractor. Don't expect much stock. A friend had a small pulling tractor and he had lots of money and countless hours in it. It was fun to watch. The stock guys.......not so much. Don't get hooked unless you like spending money

Yeah I know what you mean I love to spend money when I have it. But this pull im going to is just a bunch of stock mowers so I hope to do alright I do have a front and rear weight rack and also a wheelie bar and adjustable hitch. But ill try to do good.

Around here all the successful pullers use a gearbox, not a hydro. I have no idea how a hydro will work for pulling on a small tractor.

Yeah thats what Ive been told but I appreciate the input. Im really just out there to have fun. But I like to know what people think.

Most pulling tractors have gears. My friend had 3 transmissions put together for like 6 million possible gear combos. He also sent his snowmobile motor out to be ported and polished and had big pulling tires on his. All on a garden tractor frame. Some people had some finely tuned and engineered rigs , while others had stockers like you with a few mods. With the hydro and mostly stock, shoot for bragging rights with friends and have some fun. Take pictures....we all love pictures. And good luck!

I will have some pictures after this weekend. My dads friend said he may be able to get me a engine from a kubota its a two ciylinder 14Hp diesel to put in my mower How do you think that would help out cause right now I just have a 12Hp kolther gas.

We can make it run like this then.

We are supposed to be getting the sled for the garden tractors at the pull you are going to. The one club wouldn't let them use theirs because of liability issues but we should have another fairly decent sled lined up. It will be a lot better that the thing they used in the past.

You have to really nice looking mowers hopefully I will have something like that someday. But mine will be blue. I have seen your mowers up close there really nice. So your going to the NR pulls.
