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.

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.......
CCAMA Tractor Pull in Panguitch, UT www.ccama.blogspot.com www.facebook.com/ccama #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.
