Just to show you guys what we were up to, here are a few pictures of our tractor from this year. It took a lot of long hours fixing a few mechanical problems over the first few days when we first got to Peoria. Although we got hosed in a few things and placed 12th, we achieved our goals as this is the first year we ran a mechanical drive train instead of a hydrostatic set up. This tractor is a great start to a way better tractor next year. Oh yah, we were voted the best looking tractor, placed 2nd in Ergonomics, 6th in Safety and Serviceability, and pulled a team best 206 ft in the heavy pull.
