Tractor pull sled.
 

I want one... thing is I dont want to spend a fortune on it.

so I want to build one. but got a few questions.

figure a full size one pulls what? 300 feet? so scale it down to about 30 feet? (it will be for MTs like savage/tmaxx so I figure 1/10th is good enough.)

also what ratio does a full sized one raise the "box" at. ie when does the box hit the front of the sled. half way? 2/3s?

does anyone have one that they can take pics of so I can get details? searching online only gets me a bunch of clubs, not details.

thanks in advance.

YOU NEED THE BOX TO REACH THE TOP OF THE SLED AT 30 FEET, CONSIDER KEEPING THE SPOOL LEVEL AND CHANGING YOUR WHEELS

Hi

I hope these pictures help you out, and here is some extra information. It's built entirely from 6061 aluminum has T-Maxx stock tires and wheels for ultimate traction, a movable skid plate & axle walking beams to accommodate slightly uneven ground. It measures a whopping 52" long x 11" wide x 12" high has #25 steel roller chain with steel sprockets.

It's 2ft. long X 10.5in. wide X 6in. high.
The wieght is pulled forward with the rotation of the front axle by a string ran though a pulley at the front.
I haven't hooked it to a truck yet because of the weather (cold & wet). But it works pulling it by hand.
Here's a link to a tread where we are talking about it.
