Test and Tune

The Snow has almost all melted and it is time to get everything up and running. The Test and Tune Pull is scheduled for March 22, 2014 at Red's Place. Kick off is at 10 AM. 

On March 8, 2014 we had a work meeting at Red's. There was a good sized crowd and lots of work was done. Thank you to Rosie for delivering hot Pizza.

We tuned up the sled, by replacing some of the inefficient parts and fixed some safety issues. The left wheel had been popping and is now fixed. Everything on the sled was checked and is in great working order.

We could use new advertising for the signs on the sled. Prices are still $200 for the year and the sign appears on both sides and will be at all events. Let's get as many as possible before Cotton Days. Signs can be made in just a few days, so there is still time and Cotton Days starts with a parade. If you have any questions please contact June for more details.

We are looking for pictures from the work meeting on March 8th. If you have any pictures or words to share please send them to Matheson and they will be included as soon as possible.

SEE YOU ON MARCH 22, at 10 AM!

Thank you- Al Matheson for the picture of the tractor in the snow.

Cedar City Livestock Festival

You don't want to miss the next great event coming up the 23 and 24th of this month.

There will be a pull, but Red wants us to be aware of a change in rotation. This time we will be starting with the heavy tractor first and work down to the lighter ones.

So be sure to get you registration in to June early so we can have those programs made up and ready to go.

See you there.

Cotton Days were a blast.

Rumor has it that the final repairs on the sled were made just hours before everyone started arriving for the Parade and pull. We had a good crowd for the day. After the parade we started with a kiddie pull. There were several young contenders who soon discovered it was harder than it looked.

The day went off without a hitch and everyone had a good time. Check back for photos of the event. I hope to get them up within the week.

Also check out Dick Ericson's new Blog. It has a permanent listing in our links further down this page on the left. He has a great show planned as usual.

Hope to see you there.

there's still more - check out the calendar

We sure missed being able to get to the fun at Cedar City this year. HOpe you were able to make it. The weather seemed to be good for it.

Dean Dysart sent some photos of our sled since they worked it over. Sure looks good. Check it out on the slideshows to the left.

Thanks Dean,Norm and Gene.

Our next and last pull for the year is in Washington on November 15th. It begins at 10:00 am and registation begins at 9:00 am. Pre-registration is recommended so we can start on time.

Our Annual meeting will be held on February 21st in Washington at the same place as last year. The price for dinner has not yet been determined.



I would like to invite all of you to send me photos and articles, etc. for the next newsletter coming out in December. Yep, it's just about that time. I need time to work them all up, so send them as soon as you can to judykitson@hughess.net or by snail mail to po box 2440, Page, AZ 86040.

Look what's next......

The Iron County Ride and the Page Pull are now just fond memories. But there is more fun to come.
Up next is the Cedar City Livestock Show and Pull. Oct 24-25th.
Kip Hanson is the one to call for all the information. It sound like it will be a lot of fun and will also be the last scored pull of the year.

It Works!

The new sled is finished and works. It has a 5 speed transmission. I got the first pull with the Farmall A and it gave me a nice pull before shutting me down in first. Gene got about as far with hiw Ford in second. Jim tried with the big Michigan Loader and in 5th it gave him a nice pull and shut him down.
This may just be the one to stop the Seamon?
Shifting and breaks are all handled from the outside, no crawling under. Breakman rides on the side.
Should be a great day for pulling. Hope to see you this weekend in Page, AZ.
