Rising Star sold!

The turbine tractor called ''Rising Star'' of Henk and Jan Bosman from Oene in the Netherlands will have a new home in 2024. The nicely built 4 Klimov Isotov TV3-M117 powered tractor which was built for the modified and heavy modified class was sold to the CDH Pulling Team from France. The Team around the Belgian Guy de Hoef who lives in France and Phillipe Chauvin from France have purchased the 4 turbine-powered tractor from the Bosman brothers, which had decided to stop with tractor pulling at the beginning of 2022. The modified was until now turn-key for sale, plus all the spare parts which they had. 

In the summer of 2023, Henk and Jan Bosman visited Europe's biggest tractor pull in Made, the Netherlands, and they told us, that the Rising Star is still for sale and no one has yet expressed an interest in buying the modified tractor. Shortly after that in the summer of 2023, Guy de Hoef of the CDH Pulling Team was in contact with Henk Bosman for 1 of the 2 spare turbines, which he also later purchased for the Le Redoutable, because 1 of the 4 turbines was broken after the Euro Cup round in Bernay. But already at that time Guy de Hoef and Guillaume Chauvin (the son of Phillipe Chauvin) were interested in the whole tractor and the rest of the spare parts. 

The talks for the whole tractor plus the second spare turbine and all the rest of the spare parts started already with the Bosman's in August. After around 3 months of consideration, talks with their sponsors, and negotiations with Henk and Jan Bosman, the deal was wrapped in dry towels at the beginning of this month. The reason for the purchase of the Rising Star and the second spare turbine was, that they had no further running spare turbines in stock. Another reason was they want to be more competitive again in the future and with the Rising Star tractor they will have a competitive package for the future.
In the hands of the CDH Team, the tractor will receive currently no changes for 2024. Also, the name and the look of the tractor will stay the same as before, just some stickers of their sponsors will be added to the tractor.
Maybe some people asking now what will happen with the other 4 Isotov TV3-117M powered tractor called ''Le Redoutable''. After a nice Euro Cup season with the tractor in the heavy mod class and 4th in the Euro Cup point standings in 2023, the team will send the tractor not into retirement. 

Currently, from the Team's point of view, it's not 100% sure with which of the both tractors they want to run the Euro Cup in the heavy modified class in 2024. They have several options on the table at the moment. 2 examples of the many options would be to run with both tractors the Euro Cup or with just Rising Star or Le Redoutable the Euro Cup, but that is currently still up in the stars. 

The last decision by the team will be made at the end of the year or at the beginning of 2024.

To run with both turbine tractors, the Euro Cup circuit is currently a little bit difficult or almost not possible due to less transport possibilities and just one lot for a tractor in the bus. 

Whether we see Rising Star and Le Redoutable in the Euro Cup series of the heavy mod class in 2025 is currently not entirely unlikely. But first, they need a bigger transport vehicle if they want to drive with both turbine tractors in the heavy mod class in the Euro Cup in 2025. The new transport vehicle is already on their agenda.

One is sure already both tractors, Rising Star and Le Redoutable will compete at their home pull and Euro Cup round in Bernay, France 2024, because of the short journey.

This week on the 23rd of November, Rising Star was picked up by Guy de Hoef and Guillaume Chauvin in the workshop of Henk and Jan Bosman in Oene, in the Netherlands, and was transported with a semi-truck to his new home in France and stands now alongside his new brother ''Le Redoutable'' in the workshop of the CDH Pulling Team.
With the purchase of the Rising Star by the CDH Pulling Team from France, it's great to see the tractor hopefully back in action in 2024!

Never Done in new hands

The component limited super stock called ''Never Done'' of Soren Hansen from Arnum, in the south of Denmark, was sold to a new owner in Germany. After 5 seasons, Soren decided to offer his tractor for sale already during the 2023 season. The Dane had a lot of success with his John Deere 8410 in the limited super stock class during this time, and won some events in Denmark and outside his home country as well. He also competed, many times in Germany and in the Netherlands, with his machine.

In the winter of 2017, Soren Hansen started to build the little alky burner for the limited super stock class. 

But the whole building of the John Deere took almost 2 years, but the result which came out at the end was very nice. The tractor was equipped with a used ACE Chassis chrome-moly tube chassis with Firestone 24.5x32 tires on polished Keizer Wheel aluminum rims and a turbocharged 7.6l John Deere alky burner engine built by Willem Veldhuizen of Veldhuizen Special Products from Loosdrecht in the Netherlands. Already in its first season in 2019, the tractor showed a lot of potential on the pulling tracks in Denmark, the Netherlands and Germany. Soren Hansen also was supported by Willem Veldhuizen during this season, who set up the fuel system for the engine to get everything running properly.

During those 5 seasons, Soren also sometimes to fought with some little gremlins in the John Deere, but when the Never Done ran very well it was a real force to be reckoned with.

At the final round of the German Championship in Schlechtenwegen, the Never Done was hand over to the new owners. The new owner of the tractor is a big agricultural contractor from the county of Wesermarsch in North Germany. The Hergen Stühmer GmbH from Stadland owns the John Deere limited super stock now. The Hergen Stühmer GmbH is a contracting company which is doing all kinds of agricultural services for farmers in their county. The tractor will be repaired, maintained and driven among others by Andree Martsch, a member of the Red Shadow sled Team in Edewecht.

Andree already got the chance to drive the component limited super stock in Schlechtenwegen for the first time. But it is possible that more drivers join and drive the limited super stock in the future.

The team currently consists of 4 people who take care of the tractor. The guys are already busy with the maintenance of the limited super stock for next year. This winter the Alky burner power plant will be completely overhauled to have a good properly running engine for the new season.

For the 2024 season, the new team will receive help and support from Soren Hansen from Denmark, and it's also planned to run all German Championship rounds of the limited super stock class.

One will be sure, the Never Done will be run in the German Championship in 2024. And what about Soren Hansen, currently nothing is known about his plans for the future or what he is doing next in the tractor pulling sport. We will see what comes out in the future!

Verrückte Power, Unfälle, Flammen & Fails der Tractor Pulling Saison 2023!

Neighbours Nightmare Pulling Team moves into the Super Stock class in 2024

On Saturday, the Neighbours Nightmare Pulling Team around Daniel Vriends from the Netherlands have published the first news after quite a long time of silence on their Facebook page. After the sell of their John Deere 8520 component pro stock tractor called ''Neighbours Nightmare'' to the Extreme Tractorpulling Team from Brechin, Angus in Scotland at the end of November 2022, the Dutch Team has revealed some exciting news of their new project for 2024. Maybe most of the people saw this news as a big surprise because most of them thought they were building again a new component pro stock tractor, but this time not. After the sale of the pro stock, for the team, it was pretty quickly clear they must have to build a new tractor.

So they started to look for a new challenge, and it was clear it should be something with diesel again. After a lot of research during the last months and the permit by the Dutch Tractor Pulling organization ''NTTO'', they could make it official now. 

The new Neighbours Nightmare will be a diesel super stock tractor. After 15 years in the pro stock class with many wins and titles, the Neighbours Nightmare Team says goodbye to the pro stock class and hello to the super stock class. For them, it will be a new chapter in their team history but on the technical site as well. Details like which type of hood the new tractor will receive or further technical details are currently not known yet. But it will be sure a component machine with a John Deere hood on it.
After the permit of the NTTO, the Neighbours Nightmare Team will start with the building of the new diesel super stock tractor soon.
The Dutch team will publish more details on their Facebook page about the building of their new tractor in the coming weeks and months during the winter!

Harts Diesel dealership in Europe

The US company called ''Harts Diesel and Machine'' from Fayette, Missouri has now a dealership under the name ''Harts Diesel Europe'' across the pond in Europe since September 2023. Harts Diesel Europe is a collaboration between the Danish company called ''MB Power Tech APS'' (also better known for the Dyno Power mobile dyno) and the US company ''Harts Diesel & Machine''. The partnership was founded to facilitate the growth and expansion of the Harts Brand in Europe under the new name Harts Diesel Europe.

Harts Diesel & Machine was originally founded in a small shop in Glasgow, Missouri, USA by Randy Hart in 1996. Over the years, the business of Randy grew and also his sons Brandon and Dustin took an interest in their dad's business and decided to work alongside their father. Today, Randy, Dustin, and Brandon deliver and support pulling teams with turbos and fuel pumps all over the USA, Canada, Norway, and in further many more countries.
The Hart family is also active with their own Massey Ferguson 8737 component tractor called ''Beyond Limits'' in the 10000lbs pro stock class on national level for many years. In their own pro stock machine, they are first testing all their new and further improved Harts Diesel pulling parts before releasing,
The partnership between the Danish and US American company was revealed at the 2023 European Championship in Brande, Denmark, last September. In the paddock of the event, Harts Diesel Europe had a booth with a nice exhibition of what they have in their portfolio currently and next year. 

They showed there their mobile dyno, 2 engine dynos, and a couple of Harts turbos and fuel pumps.
Harts Diesel Europe also announced in Brande, Denmark, that they have currently 150 turbochargers and 10 billet pumps (17/18mm) in process for the beginning of the 2024 season.
Additionally, to the 150 turbos and 10 billet pumps, they will receive a large supply of spare component level parts. With all those spare parts, they can repair/service the turbochargers and fuel pumps in their facility in Denmark. All the 150 turbos, the 10 billet pumps, and all the spare parts will be shipped in a container by Harts Diesel & Machine from the USA to Harts Diesel Europe in Denmark. This will ensure, that Harts Diesel Europe can deliver the turbochargers and diesel fuel systems to their new customers before the pulling season kicks off in 2024. Harts Diesel Europe will be sending technicians to the USA to be trained and certified at the Harts Diesel & Machine headquarters as repair/service technicians.
