Tractor pullin craft draws Ralph Schindler to big time
Ralph Schindler, a 29-year-old Colfax farmer and tractor pulling enthusiast, travels from Dunn County to South Dakota and Iowa for competitive pulls. He tows his damaged truck 75 miles to Huron after engine failure, places in several classes, and plans more events despite high costs. He rebuilds engines, uses custom-made tractors from Machine Industries Inc., and balances farming with a growing pulling career.
