Tractor Pull

The tractor pull is a very popular & crowd drawing event at Great Eccleston Show
It’s very noisy as you can see here not very environmentally friendly with all that black smoke.
The men love it!! It attracts lots of visitors on the Sunday.
There is another pull on the August Bank holiday weekend but I shan’t be there taking photos!

This looks like a very popular and fun event Pat. Long live these local community events!

Always a draw card for the NZ field days as well.. Boys and their toys..

What a wonderful capture of this great country sport at your Agriculture Show. Ha! those black clouds remind me of the days we use to visit the Traction Engine Rally-- and coming home covered in smuts - not a place to visit in good clothes!!

@beryl my daughter once had a boyfriend who had a steam engine. I-remember the smuts! 🤣

[Pat Knowles]

@julzmaioro Yes they love it don’t they?

@carolmw @busylady They pull a bit on the Saturday too but the smaller tractors….it’s quite a sight!

[Dorothy]

Great fun except for the noise and smuts.

What are they pulling? We don't seem to have that exercise in our Shows.

A great crowd and image

@maggiemae they pull a big sledge to see how far it goes! Your field days don’t have this I think it’s a separate event! I e been to Morrinsville & Mystery Creek days & just farming stuff there!

I feel the excitement Pat

[Matt Clendon]

I can feel the intensity of the day too. I'm sure the competition must be fierce.

[Peter Dulis]

get the masks ready :)

Looks very popular. My Dad used to take us to steam engine rallies. Can always remember the smell.

[Babs]

So many people it looks like a popular event.

[KWind]

Serious black smoke! I bet it doesn't smell great close to it.

[Renee Salamon]

Great capture of the event - that smoke is something else

[Boxplayer]

Interesting way to spend an afternoon 😊

[Casablanca]

[Dione Giorgio]

You have recorded the scene perfectly in your shot. Must have been a great afternoon for you.

@sangwann I was only walking past on my way back from the lower field Dione! I have no interest in tractor pulling thank you! 🤣🤣
