Hey all here's a little vid I put together from my Iphone clips of the 2010 Preble County Fair Tug a Truck,Dodge took 1st and 2nd in the 9500lb class, and they did well in the other classes too.

nice! we dont have anything like that around here

 

I think it's a growing "sport" I happen to live in a "farming" county so there's a high percentage of truck folks,This years top prize was $1000,next year is gonna be $10,000 so I figure it's gonna be getting alot more popular soon.

 

That's pretty wild - kind of like a tractor pull, with another truck instead of the sled. Do they have many KB's? I would expect something to break now and then.

 

is that a gas truck at 4:00 pulling a diesel?

 

Seems to me that traction would be extremely important. If you can get your 407 lb/ft of torque to the ground, you'll pull the 650 lb/ft that can't get any grip.

It would be interesting to see what techniques they use to get that traction. Weight, tires, gearing, locking differentials, etc.

 

was that a lil ol s10 doin some serious pullin?

 

No that was a GMC Duramax with an Air ride suspension and a Dodge Cummins.

 

I don't recall any S-10's what time point in the video are you talking about?

 

We do the same thing at an Event that I MC at called Hanks 4X4 Jamboree it is a weekend full of "back to back" pulls, Truck Pulls, Tough Truck races, Dirt Drags & Mud Bogs and of course we have a couple Monster Trucks ain't no redneck event with out a monster truck...LOL
