Congratulations to  @MN mudder for slipping in under the wire with a tractor that met the minimum requirements for this year's Build-off!

Horse N Around:


Decent voter turnout this year.  We had 46 people logged in during the vote and 32 participated by casting their vote.  Thank you for taking the time to Vote!

BIG THANK YOU to everyone that entered the build-off.  Not for you, it wouldn't have happened!  Here's hoping for another great turnout for the 9th ATLTF Build-off next year!

Thank you to those that decided to sponsor a prize for this year.  I know we were playing for Bragging Rights this year, but a couple members wanted to pitch in a little something for the winners! Winners should expect those in the next few months.  You know Christmas season is crazy for shipping!

@Brianator and @RCG expect a PM from me soon.

@Brianator and @RCG ignore the accidental 2023 winner notification.  I got heavy on the clicker.

Congratulations @MightyRaze you definitely deserve the win for the excellent job you've done on not just the Dirty Rat itself but also for your build thread and videos for it too!

I had a blast building my rig this past year and hope everyone else did too!

The Mud Duck is no slouch!  You took a tractor out of a field with no engine.  Grabbed an engine off a piece of power equipment, line digger or something, and have a functional tractor now to enjoy.  That's the heart I think with the build-off. 

Same with RCG's dragster.  Who would have thought about making that out of a Sears Custom 10XL?

Great builds all through the B/O this year.

I would like to go on record saying thank you to those that voted for me.  BIG THANKS to all those that entered the build-off this year even though many did not finish.  Entering and updating your builds all year is what makes the build-off great.  Great job to the finalist and 2nd and 3rd places @Brianator and @RCG respectively.  

Let's make 2023 even better!

congrats @MightyRaze and everyone else! I'm excited for next year to see what we can come up with for a build and limit the procrastination!

Thanks... you did proclaim yourself king of procrastination. 

Ya he did! Hey @MN mudder you already have a tractor to finish that should be eligible for the 2023 BO so get working on that beast!

I agree @MightyRaze @RCG built a really cool dragster that hauls a$$!

If @MN mudder does "procratinate" a few weeks.  I see no issue.  He still has some fabricating and mods to do.  I feel he fits well under the 75% for next year.

If that's the case, I'm already 'in' for next year. I've got two in mind, finish up the one I started this year, and revive my wheel horse street rod from like 8 years ago. It's nothing but a chassis with a dash, but I have EVERYTHING minus a belt and chain to throw on it.

Do it @fatboy_dan! I was really looking forward to the Dynamark Enduro!

Other than source some steering parts, I haven't touched it except to move it until the last update before backing out. It'd be eligible too

Congrats Mighty!
