For practice, I took the dozer and cut a track in field behind house.
Then hook up to the D6 or 4 wd tractor and have them put on the brakes will I pulled them.
We had lots of fun.

Where or who did you rent the sled from? Thanks Nate:ro)

He's a local guy, XXXXX XXXXX. I pulled that sled about 15 times last year. I thought it was th fairest sled I'd ever pulled, and I told him that. He said if I ever wanted to have a pull to call him and he'd come down. So I did, and he came. He only wanted $XXX but I gave him $XXX. He usually charges the fairs $500/day I think, but I got a little discount.

I would suggest finding a sled in your area that you (and others) like to pull, and ask the owner if he could show up and how much. County fairs are the best place to look as larger events get some high dollar sleds to show up.

I started this pull idea last year. The sled guys are all booked up till September around here now so it would be tough to have one till then. We'll probably do it again early September.

The sled guy said that a tractor with the brakes on is a good time too. But nothing pisses the neighbors off like seeing a sled roll in. There just jealous!

I sent you a copy, P.M., without the X's nate.

No Homeowners Association, But the local sherrif did show up within the first half hour. I asked him if he wanted to hook the cruiser! :) He didn't think the taxpayers would like that too much. But he left us alone to be rednecks, he was a pretty nice guy.
