"They were having a fuel issue and didn't think that it was going to create that much more horsepower and heat," said MacKinnon. That was likely due to larger injectors being added onto the engine last year by its previous owners, he said. However, the weekend wasn't without one snag, as MacKinnon saw his engine blow during his final pull. ![]() ![]() The hometown competitor saw four third-place finishes, two in each of the 9,300 lb super farm tractor and 10,000 lb heavy pro stock classes. The south shore also couldn't have been a better place for MacKinnon to debut his new ride, a Case IH MXM175 that sports a 600 cubic inch motor. Mackinnon, a resident of Crapaud who works in Alberta on a rotation, had begun pulling lawnmowers as a kid before competing in the stock farm tractor class for nearly seven years. "The boys got a video of my leg, just coming off the clutch for the first time, my nerves were good but the old leg was shaking," said MacKinnon about the Maritime Truck and Tractor Pull Association's (MMTPA) event. It was his first time using the super farm tractor, a machine he purchased last week in Centreville, N.B., that resembles a cross between a traditional tractor and a hotrod.
