Tractor
winners
ELVERSON As a close
of the year test of their
driving abilities, Twin
Valley FFA members
competed in a local tractor
driving contest. This contest
consisted of having to hitch a
tractor to a manure
spreader, pull it through an
obstacle course in a figure 8
pattern, and then back it into
a stall with two inches of
clearance on each side.
Students received
deduction each time they
touched any part of the
obstacle course or stall,
whenever equipment was
fouled (touched the rear
tractor tires), and for each
half-inch the spreader was
offcenter in the stall. Points
were also given each time
the student changed
direction or violated a safety
rule. All students were given
the opportunity to complete
this part of the contest.
Those students who per
formed best were then
allowed to try the 4-wheeled
wagon event. Here a student
had to hitch to a 4-wheeled
wagon, pull front a
