When it comes to man vs. machine, arguably Truck and Tractor Pulling carries that banner over all other forms of motorsports. Pulling is widely known as the world’s most powerful motorsport. That part certainly makes sense.

Over the years, the massive tractors have become more modified and lighter, and the engines that power the machines have grown into multifaceted, fire-breathing monsters that rocket down the track. The sport slowly transitioned into what we see today. It has often been said that the term ‘horsepower’ was derived from this event.

Many years ago, farmers invented pulling as a challenge to prove who owned the strongest and fittest team of horses. Tied to a wooden sled piled high with bags of wheat, grain, or sand, the owner’s team would pull the sled to see whose could move the sled the greatest distance. As steam and gas powered vehicles began taking over the work done by horses, so it was that these early machines found themselves in the pulling arena. Today, tractor pulling has become one of the most aggressive forms of competition as a show of brute power and strength. Unlike most other forms of vehicular competition, such as racing, where a racer may rely on speed and his ability to handle such speed to be first in his category of competition, a puller will rely on POWER, along with training and instinct to get the most out of his vehicle.
