A big favorite at the National Farm Machinery Show is always the Championship Tractor Pull done in conjunction with the show … for the fans and the competitors alike.
“This is what we look forward to every winter,” Doug Theobald from Shelbyville, Ind., who took 3rd place in the 6,200-lb. two-wheel drive Super Modified Trucks class on one of the nights of the show, told Chuck. “The crowd is amazing. Syngenta backing the event and the pull means a lot to the competitors. It’s what we strive for all year, to get qualified to come here.
John Strickland from Clinton, NC, who on the same evening won third place in the 8,000-lb. Super Stock Alcohol Tractors division, echoed Doug’s sentiments, adding that he’s very impressed with the farm show as well. “Even if you’re not in the farm or agriculture trade it’s still really amazing to walk around and see what there is here and what’s offered and the technology to make feeding the country possible.”
