Tractor Pulls and Testimonials 

One of the greatest things about sponsoring the National Tractor Pullers' Association—other than the excitement of watching champions like Doug Lively coax mega-horsepower machines into pulling massive sleds down the track — is traveling deep into the heart of the country and meeting the farmers and families who are hard at work feeding, clothing and fueling the country.

Pulling season is underway, and we’re excited! This is our second season as an official sponsor of the National Tire Puller Association’s (NTPA) Grand National events, and we’re polishing up our trailer, oiling our Spin To Win wheel, and getting ready to see our friends at pulls in Tomah, Wisconsin, from June 25-28, and in Chapel Hill, Tennessee, on July 24-25.

Bet on Bank Robber 

So what’s it like sitting behind the wheel of a modified tractor called the Bank Robber that generates close to 10,000 horsepower and 8,500 RPM? 

“It’s a lot of fun,” says Doug Lively, an Iowa farmer who started pulling garden tractors as a kid and is now a two-time champion of the National Tractor Pullers Association’s Grand National Modified Division.
