Subject: Tractor Pulls



Cherokee Co., Iowa
I happened to catch a tractor pull on RFD-TV and this episode was all the hopped up three or four engines or aircraft engines of various types. With this amount of HP to weight I really don't see any relation to a tractor pull.

Are there any pulls that feature the high HP four wheel drive or track machines like are found on the large acreage farms today? How would this type of weighted tractor compare pulling the same sled used with the afore mentioned speed demons that seem to attract the crowds?

I was never involved with pulling but my days go back to to the start of this sport at a County Fair where a M sized tractor pulled a sled and men stationed every so many feet would jump on the sled till the tractor stalled, men would get off and walk back to their station and another tractor pulled the sled back.
