Tractor Pulling Surges in The Gazette Area
Ten year rise in tractor pulling boosts weekend events across The Gazette area. Antique pulls restrict rigs to pre 1939 models, with trophies for power and restoration. Modern “farm” and “superstock” classes, plus “modified” builds, highlight state and national circuits with sizeable purses and top pilots like Gene Brunscheen and Ernie Ropp drawing crowds.
