Tractor pulling

[Guss109]

Any one else ever go to them? I've been a few times now and went to the night time one last night. Shame that it got cut short due to safety reasons but did get to see this old scania do a good pull

 

As they say up here no poke wi no smoke

I thought it was a localish boy that had it? It was a fair beast that would shame most of the cars on the road lol

What were the safety reasons it got cut short?

Loads of tractor pulling vids on youtube, most impressive was the traction engine v souped up tractor. Absolutely no contest. Traction engine whipped its arse.

Had been showers and drizzle most of the afternoon and the track was getting slippy as the soil has clay in it so they said. Was hoping to go back today but never got the time

hey guss didnt see you there sat night or i would have said hi!

 

yep sure got slippery on surface, seeing baby bear the valtra go up and spinning wheels end to end showed it real well.

 

reckon they would have had a better day today with drying wind on surface. were due for another tractor from south ice bear but it blew up with epic style at great eccleston on the sun in aug sadly - will be back on go 2015.

 

the one to go to if you dont mind a run is at great eccleston in late aug, sat afternoon and into night pulling and then most of sun. this year the sat night went onto after 1am!

 

it was a fantastic event and the heat on the sun was excellent.

 

the club up here are just in their third year getting going as new club, lots of newer safety regs and costs to adhere to - so every ticket bought helps (mates in club).

 

look up Scotlands Tractor Pulling Page's 2014 for more info on them. (hope the plug is ok steve?)

I was late in getting there so just grabbed some food and went to near the finish line as only place I could get a good view. Will have to look up the place you mentioned cheers

we were between 80 and 90 metre, got there just after 6.

 

looked like a good crowd for the night pull - oh man was that opening bangs of fireworks loud huh!
