It was pouring! And cold! Yet hundreds of people came out for the first non-competitive tractor pull of the year. They're crazy. They're loud. They're loads of fun!
My brother helping my great-niece with her pulling tractor
Dedication to her "sport"
Pure Midwest Americana -- nice pickup truck and Old Glory
Not a great shot, but shows the emotion of the participants.
The camera was out and I was already wet so shot some more before I went home.
Tractor pull and tulips in the same day. At least I'm diversified! :-)

For some reason I liked the two guys discussing the hook up. I think it is because it would be something my dad would have done. Anyway, I played with it a little. I hope you don't mind.

No problem at all. The guy on the left is my brother. On the tractor, one of his best friends. They built the hydraulic sled from scratch, with no instructions, using leftover/recycled parts. The rain, however, was not their favorite part of the day.

Okay, here are some more lawn tractor pulling shots.
Young competitors must wear helmets
Serious wheelies!
This one is loud and F-A-S-T
Lots of impromptu repairs.
I got on the announcer's stand after I was nearly pummeled by an out-of-control John Deere.

If these don't put a smile on your face then you need CPR.

LOVE the Totally Insane shot. What a great bunch of people they all must be. Picturedude hit it square on the head.

More lawn tractor pull shots.
Advice from Dad.
All tuckered out.
Not your mama's lawn mower.
