Horray!
My family finally had our first Garden tractor pull run with 100% of our own equipment.
We have been running the Garden tractor pulls at the St. Charles Co. Fair in Wenztville, MO for years. We have always had to farm out the sled and scale to Millers.
We decided it was time go at it alone. With the help of Sponsors and friends, we found, built, and bought our own weight transfer sled, weight scale, booth area, PA system, etc..
We had over 40 tractors show up to run in 4 classes. 900#-up tp 8hp, 1000#-up to 16hp, 1100#-up to 8hp, 1200#- up to 16hp. We also have other classes like: Stock class; that requires turf tires and mower decks to remain attached. And Unlimited: Any motorcyle/garden tractor style engines. Multiple engine are ok, unlimited class is restricted by tire size, weight, and wheel base only.
It's only 5$ per classes to pull. Kids are welcome! (8 yrs and up) Parents can walk next to the tractors to help guide the little ones. We had 9yr old girls kickin' butt on dads tractor!
But any ways. It was very successful! We will be holding another pull in Sept in Portage Des Souix MO. at the Chili Cook-off. Let me know if any wants any more info.
