Farmers spend a lot of time on their fiends with their equipment, but when they take a break, they often take their machines out for some fun.
For the second year in a row, three agricultural societies in Wellington County have organized local farm tractor pulling into a point series.
Lardeb and Shawridge Farms are presenting the 2011 King of the Pull.
The King of the Pull series will include three tractor pulls in Wellington County.
The first in the series is on Aug. 6 at the Drayton Fall Fair tractor pull.
Following that, there is a Grand River Raceway truck and tractor pull Aug. 27 in Elora.
The series will finish Sept. 16 at the Fergus Fall Fair tractor pull.
King of the Pull 2011 will feature two weight classes at each event: 22,000 pounds for local farm tractors and 32,000 pounds for local farm tractors.
Both classes are sponsored by EkotuningCom. After the Fergus Fair pull a points champion in each class will be crowned and rewarded with a final cash prize and trophy.
Drayton, Grand River and the Fergus Agricultural Societies thank all of the participants in the 2010 King of the Pull (formerly called King of the Hill) and encourages all local farmers to come and enjoy a night out.
