The kids’ antique garden tractor pull is an
event which keeps the next generation
involved and interested in the past.
Started two years ago, it is enticing the
grandchildren and great-grandchildren of
some of those original threshers to come out
for the three-day event.
Organized by Edgar Daer of East
Wawanosh Twp., the tractor pull is geared to
children between the ages of eight and 15 who
would like to follow in the footsteps of those
who pull with full-sized machines.
Though invofved in the adult tractor pull for
years, Daer said it was his grandson Cody’s
interest that encouraged him to suggest the
junior pull to Thresher organizers. Cody has
been involved for a few years and has begun
to win competitions.
The Huron Pioneer Thresher Reunion kids’
tractor pull holds a practice run on Saturday
afternoon and the actual competition begins
Sunday between 3 and 3:30 p.m.
Participants must have a parent or guardian
who is a member of the thresher association
who has given signed consent and will be
present during the pull.
Competition is divided by weight class of
the antique tractor (1978 or older) plus the
rider into zero to 400 lbs, 401 to 600 lbs, 601
to 800 lbs. categories.
Pullers must provide their own tractor and
it can be used for only one pull per class.
