The Grand Truck and Tractor Pulling Weekend at Keith Country Show Park on 18th & 19th June proved to be a spectactular show of pulling. Attended by well over 2000 spectators, 20 Pulling Trucks and Tractors coming from as far afield as England, Wales and Ireland, and several Demo Pulls by local Road-going Lorries as well as Standard Farm Tractors. We were treated to a flame show from Biotronic, an Under 401cui prostock from England, running on biodiesel, and also to some pretty spectacular pyrotechnics coming from Thunderchild's many exhausts. George Davies from Wales managed to compete in every class except the "Modified" - and we were privileged to see his new puller, Dragon Power, make one of it's first season pulls.The local Standard Farm Tractor Class saw the John Deere beat off all competition in the heavy class on both days, with The White, (owned and driven by Harry Panton) taking the honours on Saturday night, and the JCB outpulling everything in the Sunday pull of the light class. The line up of tractors in the picture below is estimated to be worth over 1,000,000 with a combined horsepower of of 2,170 hp. (Photo by James Currie)
Thanks to everyone who came along to watch, all our competitors from Scotland, England, Wales and Ireland, all our helpers, Keith Country Show Committee, the local police for the traffic management, Ambulance & Medical Services for their attendance, our many sponsors, raffle donations, and of course the South West Tractor Pullers who brought their sledge all the way from the South Coast of England to help us put on a fantastic weekend's pulling.
The aim of this site is to keep people up to date with the truck and tractor pullers association formed in 2011. We are a truck and tractor puling association based in Scotland, affiliated to the SWTPA (South West Tractor Pulling Association) part of the NTPR (National Tractor Pullers Register) and the IOPD (International Association of Professional Drivers). Please browse the pages to see which events we have planned and what the tractors look like, how they have been built, and what successes they have had.
