Yes! I would have to say my k241 is surprisingly strong. I use my 72 for snow plowing, so this was a first and last time pull for my tractor. This was the first time I ever worked the tractor since rebuild, I have always pampered my 72. Not to cry too much, but the 128 that won our pulling competition has tractor AG rear tires, and the Simplicity 7172 pulled about 1.5" further in the 5th round. The 6th pull, we had added around 110# of weight, and yet I took the sled as far as I did in the 5th pull only to be loaded up again at the end of the track where the Simplicity 7112 were not pulling anywhere as far as they did back in the 5th. We were pulling for fun in the 6th pull, so this pull really did not count. Kind of confusing looking at the stats.
