Vintage 1985 John Deere 4450 Tractor Pulling a Deutz-Fahr 8280 TTV Warrior Tractor at the Southern Tractor Pulling Competition at the 2024 Southern Field Days in Waimumu, in the Southland Region of New Zealand's South Island.
This is weight transfer tractor pulling. The tractor aims to pull 80% of its weight for 100 metres, or 60% for the pre-85/old school class. As I understand it, the pulled tractor shifts its weight on the sled from the rear to the front as it travels up the track to increase its total weight.
