Heres a video of how i get on my tractor. I was paralyzed in a car wreck when i was 12, so we made lifts so i can still farm. Just thought yall might like to see. Gonna try to pull a few times in the farm stock class this year.

My hat is off to you. That shows determination, something that a lot of people are lacking these days. I'm sick of people complaining about pointless crap like everything from being bored to having too much to do. You had an unfortunate incident years ago, but played the cards you were dealt and won by simple determintation.

Good luck pulling next year!

Sweet man, good luck at the pulls. Tractors are like tomatos, they're better when they're red.

Thanks for the replies fellas. It works really good for me. My cousins have a machine shop and we designed and built it from scratch. One of a kind as far as i know. After a tuned scheid "stock appearing " pump and a nice new schwitzer turbo it should be able to do decent with the sled. We will see i guess.
Yeah I came across the wheels on the internet and just couldnt pass em up. Havent seen another set like em.

Well after thinking about this for a long while i've pretty much decided to keep my tractor close to stock and farm it. Ive been bush hogging with it here lately and i just love driving it. Funny thing is, i bought my dodge to pull it around with and instead of spending money on the tractor, all i wanna do is pour $$$$ into my truck

Cool man, love it and your willingness to still get out and enjoy life. American Chopper showed last week a guy who was paralyzed in a car wreck who was still kicking like you, and they built a trike for him to ride on. Its just simply amazing.

Like mentioned above, take your truck sled pulling, you'll have the time of your life

Ooooohhhh how i would love to make my truck a puller. I will probably end up doing so before its all over. The ONLY thing holdin me back is its only a 2wd. Its got a SFA so converting it to 4wd wouldnt be as much of a hassle, but a big enough job. I just need to find a good donor truck and go at it!
