My question is: how much skill, or technique, is required of a driver in tractor pulling?
I don't know anything about tractors, or much about tractor pulling. I'm writing a paper for school, and one of the allowed topics was an essay on how to improve your performance in a certain sport. I picked tractor pulling because I thought it was probably the least likely subject someone might expect to see for this assignment.
One of the topics for my paper I thought might include things the driver could do for a better pull. I'm having trouble figuring out what the driver might do, however. For smaller tractors it appears the driver can shift his weight as needed, but that can't be helpful for larger sizes. Is there an ideal speed they should maintain? Is stalling an issue?
Really appreciate any feedback!
Thanks,
Chris
