My friends at JAK Racing Engines present my 2025 predictions for the National Farm Machinery Show in Louisville, Kentucky. The applications have been submitted and now the hard part for the committee begins, as they sift through all of the amazing competitors and settle on a field of 192 capable champions to run for the glory in Freedom Hall!
It is just not possible to truly narrow down this list of tractors. Tradionally one of the higher entry submission classes, there are only 24 spots divided across two evenings of competition. Win a points title, or finish high in one of the top points races in order to punch your ticket in to the prelims. This is my best guess at the competitors.
Last year the competition was intense with Kevin Lindstrom taking top on honors on the Thursday Night Preliminary and backing it up with a very impressive Saturday Night.
