My first was in 1998 at age 49 at Lancaster NH fair. I had just gotten my first old tractor, a 1961 Ford 1961, six months earlier. I entered the 4500#, on a soft track against a bunch of tractors that were all physically bigger than mine. The 901 was tired with a fair amount of blow by, and all I knew to do was have my weight close to the max and my draw bar at max height. Well, I placed second, and have been hooked on tractor pulling ever since. |

| I was 12 years old, that was about 8 years ago. Pulled a 1949 Massey Harris 44. I was too chicken to even get it full throttle and of course it died quickly and i was dead last. But there's just something special about tractor pulling, and of course i kept coming back until I started winning. And God willing, i'll keep coming back til im dead. |

| I was 13 when i first pulled at the local fair on my first tractor, a 3010 john deere. I pulled in second gear in the 7000 lb class and spun out (3rd place). I now pull the same tractor in 4th gear and have a closet full of first place trophies (15 years later). I owe it all to my father who hopefully someday will get to see his grandkids experience the same thrill i have. |
