After 6 years in the Pro Stock class, the Midnight Deere Pulling Team from Neuenstein in Germany make the switch into Super Stock class next year. The John Deere 4440 gets a lot of changes at the moment. The Tractor gets a new wedge frame with a homemade Steel ROP. The ROP was constructed by Marcus Kaiser (Kaiser Performance) from Gussenstadt in Germany. The Team use in their Super Stock a rear axle and a gearbox from a JD 4010. The gearbox has special made gears from GMS (Genes Machine Shop) in Hamilton, Ohio (USA). The Tractor also receive a set of new front tyres with new rims. The Team will use provisionally Firestone All Traction 23 10Ply Pro Stock tyres with the rims of their old Pro Stock Tractor for 2016. But, a switch to a other type of Firestone tyres is still possible.The Tractor will have a 7.6 l 6 cylinder John Deere 6076 engine with 2 Holset HX 80 turbocharger on alcohol, Koebrugge rods, Wahl forged pistons, a JD 6076 crankshaft from GMS and a VSP injection system. The intake and outtake Manifold comes from the old Magkal Bits n Pieces from the Netherlands. Also, the used Indy alumnium cylinder head on the engine comes from the old Bits n Pieces. But, the cylinder head got some changes and was revised by Kaiser Performance in Gussenstadt.
The Midnight Deere Pulling Team will compete in the German Championship next year.
The first start of the new Super Stock Tractor is planned for the 24th of April 2016 at the German Championship opener in Füchtorf, Germany.
