Tractor Name and why you named it that?     Name is the Gutless General.   Jared bought this tractor from a local farmer in 1998 and it was used as a farm tractor for two years.  Began pulling in farm stock class and moved into hot farm in 2001 and then moved to Superfarm in 2005.  The tractor was originally going to be named General Lee but Jared had surgery in 99 due to Crohns disease and had to have some of his intestines taken out, so some people said he was gutless so the that is how the tractor became the Gutless General. 

What Club you pull with, if they have a website what is it?   This past year was our first year pulling Super Farm and we pulled with ATPA only hitting about 10 pulls.  Previously we pulled with Michindoh pullers in the hot farm class.

Anybody you want to thank, crew, mechanic, family Etc.?    Want to thank everyone who has lended a hand with the tractor helping tear down or put things back together.  Building the tractor has been a dream for both my father and I, so without so many different people helping out it wouldn't have been possible.  Thanks to my brother Jason for helping out a lot whenever needed, Mark Gettinger and Doug Huffman for answering many questions and figuring out problems, Doug at Scheid Diesel in Lafayette, and to mom Jo and wife Lindsey for allowing us to follow our dream.
