Tractor Pull Contest Is Reported
A total of 41 tractors com
peted in the first of three sum
mer tractor pulling contests
sponsored by the Rough and
Tumble Engineers at their Km
zer museum last Saturday.
The tractors were required
to pull a sled trailing a moving
weight along a 250 foot track.
The weight is designed to move
forward, placing more of the
weight on the sled until the
tractor can no longer pull.
Similar tractor pulls are slat

A $5 entrance fee was charg
ed for each tractor for each
pull. Besides the 41 initial pulls.
