They are pulling 2 different kinds of weight sleds (depending on who is running the event).. One type of sled is a straight sled with an amount of weight put on it and you pull for a distance. If you pull the full distance, you advance to the next round (ie... more weight on the sled). The person that pulls the most weight for the longest distance wins. They just keep adding weight until no one can pull it..
The other type of sled actually transfers more weight to the sled from a rolling axel as the sled is pulled forward. If you advance to the next round, the weight transfer is faster and more.
I would love to put my e12m in a pull but around here they have moved away from lawn mower pulls and into kids peddle tractor pulls. Still looking for one close, If I find one I will get my 7 year old son to run the e12m (just to add insult to injury).

now I have to ask a really naive question (since there are no dumb ones right?). these tractor pulls are they pulling dead weight or are they pulling against each other directly? dave
