Was good having all 3 'at the same time' ..... usually spaced so only one tractor was actually doing a run at any one time .... but it kept the 'action' going ....... 'a while' was about an hour (in the sun) ... and we wanted to get home for the moto gp race

Interesting, especially as you say with 3 tractors attached at a time. The first photo certainly looks like a tug of war. Not something I would think of going to - not sure whether we even have them up here - but then before photography I'd never been to a campdraft/rodeo either.Comment

Our first time to one of these Gabby
Some info regarding tractor pull competitions .... courtesy of Wikipedia
All tractors in their respective classes pull a set weight in the sledge. When a tractor gets to the end of the 100 metre (300 feet) track this is known as a "full pull". When more than one tractor completes the course, more weight is added to the sledge, and those competitors that went past 300 feet will have a pull-off; the winner is the one who can pull the sledge the longest.
The sledge is known as a weight transfer sled. This means that as it is pulled down the track, the weight is transferred (linked with gears to the sledge’s wheels) from over the rear axles and towards the front of the sledge. In front of the rear wheels, there is a "pan". This is essentially a metal plate and as the weight moves over this the resistance builds. The further the tractor pulls the sledge, the harder it gets.
The most powerful tractors, such as those in the 4.5 modified class in Europe, can produce over 10,000 bhp.Barb
