Competing with tractors is a lost cause- - - -they're geared for crawl speeds, and most of them have a flywheel that weighs a hundred pounds or more. The old 2-cylinder John Deere tractors have a huge bore and stroke, and they will idle down so slow you can almost count the revs. No way you're going to compete in that league!

Too true. I restored a couple of 801 Ford tractors

In 1st gear at idle speeds you can hardly see the forward progress. Perhaps the rules prevent add-on gear reduction or the use of hydrostatic transmissions. It looks like its all for fun anyway.
