Abstract
- Tractor pulling, a sport that emphasizes strength and power over precision, has a long history dating back to the early 20th century. Originally a friendly competition among farmers and ranchers, tractor pulling events gained popularity and spectators over time. As technology advanced, competitors began adding weight to their machines and adjusting tire sizes to improve traction. Tractor pulling became more inclusive with the introduction of weight classes in the 1950s. Today, tractor pulling continues to be a thriving sport that captivates audiences of all ages.
