Quambatook Tractor Pull Assoc Inc

We would like to let people know about our event which is held every Easter Saturday.

We would also like to put the call out for members to join our committee.

Truck and tractor pulling is a form of a motorsport competition in which vintage or modified tractors pull a heavy sled along an, 100-meter-long track, with the winner being the tractor that pulls the sled the farthest. The sport is known as the world's most powerful motorsport, due to the multi-engined modified tractors.

All tractors in their respective classes pull a set weight. When a tractor gets to the end of the 100 meter track, this is known as a "full pull". When more than one tractor completes the course, more weight is added to the sled, and those competitors that moved past the 100m mark will compete in a pull-off; the winner is the one who can pull the sled the farthest. The sled is known as a weight transfer sled. This means that, as it is pulled down the track, the weight is transferred (linked with gears to the sleds wheels) from over the rear axles and towards the front of the drag. In front of the rear wheels, instead of front wheels, there is a "pan". This is essentially a metal plate, and as the weight moves toward it, the resistance between the pan and the ground builds. The farther the tractor pulls the sled, the more difficult it gets.
