Last weekend was Delta’s annual celebration—Deltarado Days.  It was also Terry’s 50th class reunion

 

After the parade in the morning was the

170% of the tractor’s weight!  That little 530 John Deere weighs 5,300 pounds.

It was so miserably hot it was hard to enjoy this event.  Although, I had an umbrella it still felt like a cooked hot dog when we finally left.

Part of Our Vacation was a Tractor Pull

Not one of those really fast tractor pulls, but just your plain farm tractor pull.

Loading-the-530

Both Evan and Terry drove.  Terry had the 530 JD and Evan drove the 730 JD.

Loading-730

The pull was based on how much weight the tractor could pull, Terry did 170% of his tractors’ weight

Terry-Pulling

and Evan did 174%. 

Evan-on-Tractor

No I don’t know what the tractor weighed.  My job is to sit there and film the pull and remember the weight.  The rest is up to them.   🙂   Works for me!  I just have to remember to switch from video to still and sometimes I don’t get that part right.

Some of the Tractors all in a Row

The last day of the pull, there weren’t as many drivers.  This is the drivers meeting.
