two-day pulls. Midwestern
tractor pullers were
especially well represented,
with nearly half of the top
finishers being from that
area. Midwestern tractors
shut out eastern tractors
entirely, as a matter of fact,
in two classes, those being
the 9000 pound modified and
the 12,000 pound super stock.
The best any of the Lan
caster County puller could
do was capture a first place
in the 5000 pound super stock
class. Tim Stauffer ac
complished that victory with
his Deutz 8006, a tractor
which received national
recognition a few weeks ago
at a national pull in Ohio.
Stauffer was first there too.
Regular Buck pullers were
well represented in a
number of classes, as
several thousand fans
cheered for their favorite
tractors and drivers. Said to
be the fastest growing rural
sport in America, tractor
pulling has reallly caught on
in southeastern Penn
sylvania and other areas.
It’s a noisy event. Some
wouldn’t have it any other
way. There’s lots of smoke
too, as some machines use
up several gallons of fuel in
one 300-foot run. It’s all a
part of the tractor pulling

atmosphere, if you’ll pardon
the pun.
Tractor pulling is catching
on in the rest of the world as
well. Last week, for
example, two Lancaster
County machines were
shipped to the Netherlands
to be part of a show there. A
separate article on that
appears elsewhere in this
issue.
One of the more spec
tacular machines last
week’s visitors to the Buck
track got to see was a tur
bine-powered tractor which
had an appearnace and
sound all its own. It
screamed to life twice last
weekend, with Art Arfons of
Akron, Ohio behind the
controls, and on both oc
casions this team of man and
machine finished well ahead
of the competition. In
another class, competitors
came with inches of each
other.
Following is how the men
Round-the-clock

If you depend upon your milk check for a living,
protect that income by insuring milk quality.
The least expensive, single-payment insurance
obtainable is the Sentinel the heavy-duty,
10-inch recorder which charts round-the-clock
temperature of your milk-cooling or holding tank.
Assure yourself and your processor that
proper milk temperature is always maintained.
Keep a permanent log of compressor operation
and tank cooling or pre-cooling efficiency, from
first filling to pickup.

At little added cost the Sentinel is available with
provision for actuating an alarm or warning light if
milk holding temperature rises above pre-set level.
Remember—if it prevents the loss of only one
tank of milk, the Sentinel has paid its own way.
