What kind of jobs do you guys have that pull tractor? I know that most of you just farm full time. Im a younger guy just getting started in the sport and working a full time job. Im having trouble getting off work for pulls and have figured out that there is no way for me to make every hook to be in a point race. It's just not possible to take off 2 times a week for 3 to 4 months. Thanks |

I always thought winning the powerball and tractor pulling would go hand in hand. Lol |

You not only have to have time off, you would need a lot of money to run a points race. I work Construction full time and make weekend Pulls . If a pull is close then I can make it through the week. What ever you do just have fun and enjoy it, good luck. |

Im a lineman for a local utility, there arent a lot of hot farm pulls in my area, we travel to out of state alot to make weekend pulls. Money and time need to be managed, but we live for pulling. Love the atmosphere in the pits and the competion, poor mans pulling! . Some day hope to make a sactioned superfarm team........ Someday! Dont let a points pull worry you, it will come with time....... Get out and enjoy the pulls you can when you can! |

I have a tooling business and this will be my first year pulling. I am building a new tractor (466 class) to pull Super Farm with NSPA. |

I'm a Caterpillar product support sales rep in Ohio/ WV. It's rough but we try to make every pull as we pull locally. we may stray out for a long distance weekend pull this year and see what happens. Just get out and have fun! |
