Good bye Double Screamin´

After 9 years, one of Europe's most successful Light Modified Tractors retires. The Modified Tractor called "Double Screamin" of the Screamin Bobcat Pulling Team from Ijsselmuiden, in the Netherlands made its final appearance at the Indoor Pull in Zwolle last weekend. Tractor Pulling announcer Arco Sterk made the last and final run with the Double Screamin'. The team around Bertus Boer won  6 Euro Cup and 8 European Championship title in the Light Modified class from 2009-2016 with this Tractor. But the Team also was very successful in the 3.5t / 7700lbs. Modified class. They won a couple of Dutch Championships and 2 European Championships in this class. All in all they won 22 titles between 2009 and 2017. But, what will happen with the Double Screamin´? The tractor is sold to more than 1 Team in pieces.
After the sale, the Screamin' Bobcat Team have new plans for this year. We will see, what rolls out of the Screamin' Bobcat workshop in 2018.

From Finland to Germany: Another Grave Digger

In the Winter of 2015, one of Finland's craziest turbocharged Mini Rod Tractors got a new home in mid Europe. Owner Simo Andergard from Finland sold the Tractor completely to a new Team in Germany. The Mini was purchased by Dieter Höppner from Anholt in Germany. Dieter Höppner, together with his son started with Garden Pulling in the 500kg Modified division in 2015. After a year in Garden Pulling, he decided to make a step into Mini Modified Pulling in Germany. The Another Grave Digger underwent some changes and improvements during the last 2 years.
The Mini Mod has a 42CrMo4 tube frame with a 42CrMo4 Rollcage, a homemade steering, a Volvo rearend and homemade GFK fenders. The new Team changed the drivers position on the Vehicle. The drivers position is 250mm more forward and the center of gravity is lower. Also the Ford engine sits 250mm more forward now than before. The Grave Digger Team hopes to get a better balance with the Cepek tires with those changes. The rear wheels are a set of used aluminium rims with used Cepek tires.
The Volvo rear axle has a Volvo stock center section with a special built aluminium differential, a Rockwell ring and pinion gear and special made shafts.
The Mini also has a Lenco reverser with a homemade driveline and a homemade 5 disc centrifugal clutch with an aluminium bell housing.
The Another Grave Digger is powered by a 598 cui. Ford V8 engine with 2 turbochargers on methanol. The Ford engine has a 460 Ford Racing A block bored up to 598cui. with Trick Flow Ford cylinder heads, Roller camshafts and Venolia valves, a billet crankshaft with BME aluminium rods and Venolia pistons, a homemade intake and exhaust manifold, 2 Master Power turbochargers, a home made aluminium fuel tank, a Veldhuizen Special Product injection system, a Enderle 110 fuel pump, a Moroso belt drive oil pump, a MSD ignition and a Master data logger. The maiden run under german flag of the Another Grave Digger was normely planned for the 2017 Season, but several technical problems made it not possible to make a pass in front of the Sledge. The Team are currently working on the Mini Rod to get those problems solved for upcoming season.
The Team around Dieter Höppner have planned to compete in the German Championship in 2018.

Red Devil - First runs in Australia

Today was the big day!

First time on the track for the little Red Devil in Australia after it was imported from Germany.

Job well done by the team!

Q & A with Stefan Schwarz

Stefan Schwarz, 29 years old from Oberharmersbach, in Germany. Stefan is the driver of the Mini Mod Tractor called ,"Ghost Buster 5". He is the son of the former Mini Mod driver Eugen Schwarz and the nephew of Helmut Schwarz (former driver of Ghost Buster 1, 2 and 3). Stefan is also building Pulling parts for other Teams in Europe. His brother Matthias and his sister Katrin are also drivers of the Ghost Buster Mini Mod Tractors.

pullingworld.com: What are you doing in your normal life?
Stefan Schwarz: Industrial mechanic at an automotive supplier (maintenance of presses, coating equipment, hardness and annealing furnaces)

pullingworld.com: What do you like to do in your free time, except Tractor Pulling?
Stefan Schwarz: There is not much free time, otherwise I work in my small company (producing lathed- and milled parts), of course meeting friends and when it's Sunday time I also like to go watch Kart Racing.

pullingworld.com: What do you like about Tractor Pulling?
Stefan Schwarz: The huge variety of different drive systems, which makes every Tractor something special.

pullingworld.com: What was your first Tractor Pulling event?
Stefan Schwarz: I'm not sure (it's been so long ago :-D), but it must have been Eschach-Seifertshofen (D) in 1992.
  
pullingworld.com: What is your favourite Event / Pulling track?
Stefan Schwarz: In Germany, Füchtorf belongs to the most popular event, international of course Made (NL) and I would like to go to Bowling Green (USA) once.

pullingworld.com: When and where have you driven a Pulling Tractor for the first time?
Stefan Schwarz: My first event which I drove was in Schmachtenhagen (D) in 2004, but sadly I left the track just before the Full Pull.

pullingworld.com: What was your biggest success?
Stefan Schwarz: My greatest success was the German Championship title 2009.

pullingworld.com: Which Pulling classes do you like too?
Stefan Schwarz: I like to watch all classes, with my enthusiasm of the 2,5t Light Modified being the highest.

pullingworld.com: What was your biggest disappointment?
Stefan Schwarz: The big engine failure at Ghost Buster 4 in Anholt (D) 2017.

pullingworld.com: Which things must be changed in the future of the Tractor Pulling sport?
Stefan Schwarz: I hope the National Federations find a solution to the weight limits of the Heavy Modified, because unless a long-term solution is found soon, I see the class dying out, which would be a pity for the "premier class".

pullingworld.com: What are your plans for the future in Tractor Pulling?
Stefan Schwarz: To help teams with the production of parts that do not have the necessary resources for the realization of their project and of course to develop our tractors in the best possible way

pullingworld.com: What was for you the most important moment in the sport?
Stefan Schwarz: There were many important moments, because every victory or title was a special moment, but the most exciting was of course the first engine start of the new Ghost Buster 5.

pullingworld.com: What was your favourite Pulling Tractor project in the workshop during a winter?
Stefan Schwarz: The most important / most special project was certainly the construction of the Ghost Buster 5, but that was 2 winters and 2 summers ;-). Through all the work we had this time, starting from the CAD design of the whole parts to the parts programming (CAD / CAM) to the production of the parts, you have learned things that you can finally be a bit proud of because you can say: We have done everything ourselves from A-Z. 

pullingworld.com: Something you want to say?
Stefan Schwarz: I find it admirable to see how teams help each other, whether through project design advice, borrowing parts and tools or by active support in case of problems, when it is burning there is always someone there who helps. Without this community of teams, the sport would certainly not be what it is today, and Tractor Pulling Sport is also admired by other sports.

pullingworld.com: Thank you for your time and good luck this year !

First pics and news of the new Loaded Deere from Norway

The Loaded Deere Pulling Team around Soren Naerland from Bryne, in Norway are currently building a new John Deere Component Diesel Super Stock.
After lots of problems with the old John Deere 4440 Diesel Super Stock tractor, especially with the durability of the original John Deere rear end, Soren and his team decided to build a new Component Super Stock tractor.
The new JD gets a Karlen Motorsports chassis with a Karlen Motorsports Rollcage, a hydraulic steering, an original 8530 John Deere sheet metal hood and a Rockwell rear end with Humpco parts.
The 8530 hood comes from the USA and the new rear glass fibre fenders were built by the John Deere Pulling Team from Hurup, in Denmark. The Karlen Motorsports chassis was the old chassis of the JD Component alcohol Super Stock Tractor called ,,Fully Loaded´´ of Jeff Hothem from Dellroy, Ohio in the USA. The Norwegian Team purchased the wedge chassis in the spring of 2017 from Jeff Hothem. In the package were also included the complete Rockwell rear end with the Humpco parts, the transmission and the JD 8530 hood. The new Super Stock also gets a set of used Midwest aluminium rims with cut Firestone Puller 2000 HP tires. The tires are 2 years old and were cut by Steen Dam in Denmark. The rear wheels come from the old 4440 Loaded Deere.
The Rockwell rear end has a billet Humpco aluminium center section with a Humpco billet aluminium diff, a Rockwell ring and pinion gear and Franklin magnesium planetaries carrier housing with Franklin planetaries. The new ride also will have a Profab 4 Speed HD transmission with a homemade driveline, a B&B 11 inch centrifugal clutch with 5 disks and a Browell clutch bell housing.
The new Loaded Deere has a 6 cylinder John Deere 6466 engine with 586cui. / 9.6l capacity. The engine will be running on Diesel fuel with a 4 charger setup in 2 stages. The power plant has a 6466 JD block with 124mm bore and Darton sleeves, a billet crankshaft, billet rods by Riverside and GMS (Gene's Machine Shop) billet pistons, a homemade intake and exhaust manifold, 4 Holset turbo chargers, a homemade intercooler, a billet Riverside steel cylinder head with 2.5´´ inch titanium intake and 2.05´´ inch Inconel exhaust valves, a Riverside billet steel camshaft, a Aviaid oil pump, a 17mm billet Columbus Diesel fuel pump and a Racepak data logger.
The Norwegian team will compete in the Norwegian Championship this season. The maiden run of the Component Diesel Super Stock Tractor is planned for the first National Championship round in the end of May 2018 in Bryne, Norway.
