Following is A Discussion of Tractors and Classes
AGE OF TRACTORS:
Previous ages of tractors were 1970 and older. We are increasing the age to include tractors that are at least 30 years old. The pulling requirements will not change for the newer tractors. They will still have to meet the 100 HP Maximum, 4.5-MPH speed and 10,000 weight limit and all the other regulations. The branches may want to set classes for these tractors or incorporate them in with the other tractors.
LCATA Club Rules
Weigh in:
LCATA will use the "Honor System" to ease work at the scales. A sign-up sheet will be used to circle a maximum of (3) classes to be pulled in. Pullers can still weigh up to make sure of classes, however most pullers already know their weight. All winners would be weighed on our scales to determine accuracy and before declaring winners for each class. If the winner is overweight, the second place puller must weigh and so on until we have an honest winner.
