Sponsorship Tractorpulling team The ChallengerStork Gears & Services sponsors the Challenger Tractor Pulling team. Like in our projects, the man-machine interaction and cooperation is fully utilised and the involved power is always challenging! Tractor pulling is a competition using tractors to pull a heavy sled along a track. Usually the sled offers progressively greater resistance as it is pulled. It can be a great spectacle, and although the vehicle produces a great deal of noise and smoke and throws dirt everywhere, it doesn't actually travel very far. There are many different classes, from 'factory' tractors to custom built vehicles with multiple engines. The best pull is made when the tractor has a quick start. At the start of the track the sled is easy to pull, so a lot of speed can be developed. When the friction increases, the speed of the sled and tractor makes that the whole keeps sliding a few meters more. Nowadays the tractor kills the engines at about 90 or sometimes 80 meters, the speed is that high that a full pull is a piece of cake. (source: http://www.wikipedia.nl/) |
