I guess the best-case scenario would be for a group to have a sled with a self-powered pull back design. Failing that, I guess non-powered sleds are all destined to have some sort of a pullback tractor. In our case, it involves the constant backing up during a pull, hooking up when the pull is done, pulling the sled back to the start point, and then unhooking. In a 100-pull day, this obviously has to be done 100 times.
Here's my question ...... can a pull back tractor be "permanently" hooked to the sled (for the pull event) in some way so that it simply tags along behind the sled and pulling tractor so that it tracks straight without the driver having to steer it? Once the pull is done, the pull back driver would simply have to pull the sled back to the start point without the hooking, unhooking, etc.
I realize the rolling weight of the pullback tractor would add to the sled resistance, but if it were the same for all pullers, it wouldn't have any real effect on the results I don't think. Any comments or photos are appreciated.
