Indoor tractor pull set for April 9-10

COLUMBUS – The world’s largest indoor tractor and truck pull will be April 9-10 at the Ohio Expo Center.

This year’s show will feature a super farm stock class along with three tracks.

“This national truck and tractor pull draws more than 400 of the nation’s top antique and classic pullers,” said Larry Mouser, president of the Central Ohio Antique Tractor Pullers Association.

“Competitors from across the country and Canada will make their way to Columbus for this event.”

The show will also include several local pullers on the national circuit.

Weighing as little as 2,000 pounds, these machines will drag up to 20 times their weight, often exceeding 40,000 pounds.

Two tracks will run simultaneously.

Divisions. Divisions include souped-up pick-ups, mini dragster rods, hot-rod V-8 tractors, division five turbos and super farm stock machines dating from the early 1900s.

There will also be a special show by gas-powered natural tractors.

This year’s event will again include the National Kiddie Tractor Pull.

Old and new shelf model and collectible farm toys, trucks, banks, signs, clothing and other farm-related merchandise will be available for purchase.

Tickets can be purchased at the door for $10 for adults. Admission for children is free.
