- Lawn and Garden Tractor Pulling
- Many years ago, farmers invented pulling as a challenge to prove who owned the strongest and fittest team of horses. Tied to a wooden sled piled high with bags of wheat, grain, or sand, the owner's team would pull the sled to see whose could move the sled the greatest distance. As steam and gas powered vehicles began taking over the work done by horses, so it was that these early machines found themselves in the pulling arena. Today, tractor pulling has become one of the most aggressive forms of competition as a show of brute power and strength. Unlike most other forms of vehicular competition, such as racing, where a racer may rely on speed and his ability to handle such speed to be first in his category of competition, a puller will rely on POWER, along with training and instinct to get the most out of his vehicle. As in days past, a puller's prime objective is to pull a weighted sled the furthest distance possible along a given straight course. However, the sleds of today are unique themselves in that as the sled moves, so does its weight. Starting towards the rear of the sled, a weight box moves forward, creating even more down force and friction for the puller to contend with... and hopefully overcome.
