The EkotuningCom King of the Pull is ramping up for another year of tractor pull action.
Dozens of area farmers will be participating in three events, which began Aug. 10 at the Drayton Fair, followed by the Grand River truck and tractor pull in Elora on Aug. 24 and finishing at the Fergus Fall Fair tractor pull on Sept. 13.
The “EkotuningCom King of the Pull” (KOP) started four years ago to provide tractor pulling classes to local farmers and encourage participation in several events in Wellington County.
Pullers accumulate points from each event in order to become “King of the Pull.” 2013 provides three classes for pullers in the KOP series: 17,500-pound local tractors sponsored by PineGrove Farm Service, 22,000-pound local farm tractors sponsored by Schill Ag Partners, and 32,000-pound local farm tractors sponsored by T. Christie Repairs and Performance.
In addition to final class awards, a special award for the top placing female competitor is being offered. The “Queen of the Pull” award is sponsored by Creek Edge Farms.
The Drayton, Grand River and Fergus tractor pull committee is extending an invitation to all spectators to come see the exciting local tractor pull action. For more information visit www.kingofthepull.com.
Organizers offer special thanks to sponsors EkotuningCom, PineGrove Farm, Schill Ag. Partners, T.Christie Performance, Creek Edge Farms, Fenton Farms, Forbes Family Motors, Pride Seeds-Dale Martin, Bruder Customs and the Wellington Advertiser.
