Peeters 4.5t Super Sport sold

Surprising news came from the Netherlands this week. The 4.5t farm stock / super sport tractor called ''Peeters'' of Erik Peeters from Hoeven in the Netherlands was sold to a new owner in Denmark. The component super sport machine with an IH Farmall 1206 sheet metal hood on the wedge chassis was sold to Michael Guldbrant Pagaard of the Pulling Team Red and Green from Sonder Felding, Ringkobing in Denmark.

The tractor was purchased with the help of Rasmus Hojen from the Thymotech Pulling Team (formerly John Deere Pulling Team). 

Rasmus did all the negotiations with Erik Peeters about the Farmall 1206 for Michael Guldbrant Pagaard.

With the purchase of the IH Farmall 1206 component 4.5t super sport machine from Erik Peeters, Michael Guldbrant Pagaard doing now his next step in the tractor pulling sport. Since 2016, he competed with a Case IH Magnum called ''Grusomme Mig'' in the 3.6t farm stock class in the Danish Championship and the Euro Cup as well. With his reliable tractor, he competed most of the time in the mid-field of the Danish Championship and the Euro Cup. 

In the first years, the Grusomme Mig was a pulling tractor with a rearend and transmission case off an IH stock tractor. 

During the winter of 2019/2020, the tractor was converted into a component tractor with a semi-truck-based sheet metal rearend and Hanomag planetaries.

Michael Guldbrant Pagaard did his last and final pass on his Grusomme Mig at the European Championship in Brande, Denmark in September 2023. 

At this time, he had already sold the tractor, but Michael drove with the 3.6t farm stock until the end of the 2023 season, before the Case IH changed ownership. The Grusomme Mig was finally handed over to the new owner after the European Championship in Brande. The new owner of Grusomme Mig is Magnus Støjberg from Bredsten in Denmark. Magnus is already active in the sport since 2021. He started pulling with a Fordson Major on some small local tractor pulling events, and now he wants to make with the purchase of Grusomme Mig the next step in the pulling sport. 

 For 2024 Magnus has planned to compete in the Danish Championship of the 3.6t farm stock class, like Michael Guldbrant Pagaard did with the tractor since 2016.

The Farmall 1206 which has Michael Guldbrant Pagaard purchased for the 4.5t farm stock class will be a real force to be reckoned with.

In Denmark, in the hands of the new owner Michael Guldbrant Pagaard, the red tractor also will receive a new name. The new name of the 4.5t component super sport machine will be ''Thunderhorse''. His plans with the tractor are also quite clear so far for next year. 

The Dane will compete with the IH Farmall 1206 in the Danish Championship and in the Euro Cup in 2024.
