| Founded Our club was founded in the fall of 1989 by Harold Buckley, Doug Price and several others who had attended the annual show at Denton and wanted to create an antique tractor club in our area. The first pulls were held in 1990 at the Rural Retreat Fairgrounds with a borrowed sled and a lot of dedicated tractor enthusiasts. As the pulls became better attended, the club decided it was time to build their own sled, which was done over the winter of 1991. A few years later, as the ending time of the pulls became later and later because of the number of tractors attending, the club decided to build a second sled so that both could be run at the same time. In 1995 our club moved its pulling base to High Country Arena. We held many pulls there until 2001 when we moved back to the fairgrounds. During our years at High Country Arena our club continued to grow, with the number of hooks almost doubling for some events, from the number when the club was first formed. During this time the members also became interested in pulling garden tractors. The first year a dead weight sled was built, with sand bag weights and we held several garden tractor pulls just to see how much interest there was. There was plenty!! Since the first garden tractor pull the hooks have tripled!! After the first year of garden tractor pulling the club decided to build a transfer-weight mechanical sled. This was built during the winter of 1999. |
