A Great Day With CCAMA

Part of the Work Party / Test and Tune Saturday April 13

CCAMA members with tools, red dust on the backs and arms of their shirt, the smell of axle grease and the loud roar of the air compressor made the Work Party scene yesterday. I saw Leroy in his tool box looking and sorting for tools, Kevin Peiksma put on the training wheels of the sled with the help of John Kirkland Jr. and Paul Moen filled up the tanks of the sled with water. I posted the photos and video I took on Facebook.CCAMA Facebook Page

Watch Video below of Kevin Peiksma and John Kirkland Jr. putting on the training wheels of the tractor sled. 




Everyone had a different task and duty. I had the pleasure of talking with Sheridan and Kip Hansen about Internet, the world, and emails, and children. We laughed and laughed. I must have slapped my knee 10 times. It was the first time I heard Kip laugh. Both father and son have delightful laughs.

CCAMA provided lunch for us all.

After lunch I interview Rosie Kirkland for our series Women on Tractors. I enjoyed speaking with her and got to learn a bit more about her.

Thank you for visiting CCAMA,
Until next time, mark your calenders for the next event Cotton Days Parade and Tractor Pull April 27 2019.

You couldn't ask for a nicer day then this. The grandstands were full and the participants in the pull and the safety team were amazing to watch.

 

John Kirkland explained the basic safety procedure of tractor pull. ( paraphrased as close as I could )  

 

When they flag you stop. Let them hook you up. Put your hands in the air, after you put it into neutral, feet on the brake, hands in the air. They will hook you and when they give you the OK you can tighten the chain and begin your pull. Watch the flagman all the time cause if there are any problems, when he flags you off you need to stop. He will stop you when you get to the end. When you unhook, you back your tractor up, take her out of gear, put on the brake and your hands in the air again and the flagman will tell you when you're clear.

 

Kip Hansen thanked the Iron County Fair royalty that was with us which was followed by a big applause. Kip continues:

 

Our organization that we're a part of here is with the Color Country Antique Machinery Association. Now color country, you people, you live here, you understand we live in color country. But us tractors guys, color means something else entirely different than that. If you're an old tractor guy, generally you have your color. And some of us, they don't usually ask you what kind of tractor do you have, they ask, "What color do you do?"  You know there is John Deere green and Farmall red, and of course we don't want to forget Allis Chalmer's brilliant orange; Minneapolis Moline's prairie gold... Oliver meadow green, so its about the colors too but the most important colors are the colors of our nation, the red, white, and blue and I think it would be appropriate before we go on through the program right now that everyone right now turn and face the flag......

 

Everyone stood and faced our American flag. The sound of our voices  were then heard  as we recited the Pledge of Allegiance.

 

Annette Hansen gave us the Invocation, Opening Prayer which affirmed and brought together a diversified crowd of people and made whole our event.

 

David Christensen did a great job as announcer and fostered participation and showmanship with the drivers and the crowd as well as easy to understand information about the pull and the tractors for the crowd.  I was thrilled how the drivers waved to the crowd and hearing the roar of the crowd.

 

 

June Salisbury, our Secretary, took care of everything from recording the distances, to handing out the ribbons and trophies and more. The beautiful trophies were given to us by the City of Parowan. Rosie Kirkland, our Treasurer is working right there with June helping to make this a wonderful event for you all.

 

THANK YOU !

Panguitch Parade and Tractor Pull 2015

I love a parade, don't you? 

Paul and Deborah Moen Riding Tandem
 in the Panguitch Quilt Walk festival Parade.

Riding on a tractor can be so much fun. Riding on a tractor in a parade is double the fun, I think. Riding on a tractor in a tractor pull must be triple the fun but we shall get into that further on down the page. 
You can click on the pictures to enlarge
them.

I love sitting in that special tractor seat next to my husband. There is nothing like it. And to my surprise I am not the only wife who thinks this way. I saw a few familiar faces two at a time on one tractor during the parade ! I think the wives will agree with me it is a very special experience. You will see them in the video and also see Leroy Brady with his dogs, Shredder and Butch, riding right up there on the engine. I saw drivers waving to the crowds and the crowds waving back with happy smiles. Children held their own bag in anticipation for candy that was tossed to the curbs from parade participants. You couldn't ask for better weather. I know that the weather report hadn't looked very good all through the week. But suddenly there was a change and we enjoyed blue skies and gorgeous expanding white clouds which waited on us till we were done.  

This parade is fun because we get to do it twice. We turn around at the end and go back the way we came which allows us to see the folks on the other side of the road and see each other.

Now the Tractor Pull.......

#tractors #anitique #tractor sled # event

The 3 little clouds I saw before the parade kept expanding and when the parade was over well, see for yourself in the photograph above. Big huh? But the day remained dry that was until Paul Moen broke the sled on his second run in the 4000-4500 class. He was the only participant in that class. While Paul Moen got all lined up for his pull he took off and pulled that sled father than anyone had. We all thought, "Wow, Paul's making history !" And then the no pull hand signals were waved and we all sat back down. He tried again and the sled would just not move. Then it began to rain a bit . Watch the video below.


 WATCH VIDEO- Tractor Pull




The day was done for most. the grandstands emptied. The sled was hauled off the track and the sled doctors were at work with exploratory surgery. See below.

Rain or shine, broke or running smooth, it is always a good day when these events come. The men and women and teens who drive these tractors are tough and seem to take things in stride.

Farmers are philosophical. They have learned that it is less wearing to shrug than to beat their breasts.

Treyson got interested in Tractors 3 years ago. The interest and enthusiasm run in his family through his grandfather, Sheridan Hansen and his father, Kip Hansen. 

What does Treyson do when he is not at the tractor pulls? He loves  running and recently ran the mile in just 6.07 minutes!

I will leave you with this quote by Chris Hadfield

Bye for now,

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Decide in your heart of hearts what really excites and 
challenges you, and start moving  your life in that direction. 
Every decision you make, from what you eat to what you do 
with your time tonight, turns you into who you are tomorrow, 
and the day after that. Look at who you want to be, 
and start sculpting yourself into that person. 
You may not get exactly where you thought you'd be,
 but you will be doing things that 
suit you in a profession you believe in. 
Don't let life randomly kick you into the adult 
you don't want to become." ~ Chris Hadfield

Were you there?

The Fun Pull was held at Red and June Salisbury's. We arrived around 9:30 am. The weather was gorgeous and the pull went on under blue skies and a last quarter moon.  


Some tractors drove right into Red's from the road and others were

unloaded off their trailers. Everyone weighed in.

WORK PARTY 2015

An annual work meeting was held at Red and June Salisbury's place. That is Red over there on the right. 

 I hear there was Pizza for lunch and adjustments were made for the tractor sled .

FYI for those of you who are new to all this, like I am, you may want to know what a tractor sled does so I got that information for you and me below.

 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 sled’s wheels) from over the rear axles and towards the front of the sled. In front of the rear wheels, there is a "pan". This is essentially a metal plate and as the weight moves over this the resistance builds. The further the tractor pulls the sled, the more difficult it gets.

Here is a slide show I put together. Thank you to my husband Paul Moen for a quick report and photographs.
