Field Days Tractor Pulling

So tractor pulling is a big deal. The motto is we work hard to play hard. The tractor is a john deere 4450 and it runs about 700 horse. Its pretty amazing and great to see the boys (big randy, randy and rick) get to enjoy something together, farm life can be VERY high stress. The video is ricks first pull of the season, (big randy and chris our mechanic have gone to many pulls this year but this was the first that the boys could attend) Rick placed third in this heat. Randy got a second and big randy also got second. The guys say it is scary to drive the pulling tractor because it has so much power.

It was a beautiful day and i got some great pictures of the men and their tractor, this one is randy getting ready for his pull. The big show ring for horse showing is behind him

This was big randys pull of the day i love that you can see the power the front wheels are off the ground!!
