Bushwacker is the sled for the weekend.
 (click on the Bushwacker Sled link)
Temple can hook anything over 3500#.

Friday night is the 'Fun Pull'
Now is the time for you to try out the changes you made over the winter
and see how they work--before the first 'official' pull. $10 for each hook, and you
can hook as many times as you want to.

This is also the time to come out and just plain have fun!!
Bring the camper (call us first and make sure we have room) and come for
the entire weekend!!

Saturday
Saturday afternoon is the time for the out-of-field tractors to hook.
And Saturday night is when the 'big stuff' gets to shine. The super-farm and
enhanced tractors, as well as the pick-trucks of all classes. Saturday is limited to one hook
per class, and a hook fee of $20 per class. There will be prizes for the top distances today.

Sunday
Today things slow down for the antique class of tractors.
 

Our goal for the weekend is for everyone to have fun!!!!!

 

These are the pictures from last year. As of right now (March 1), we do not have a child to sponsor.
But, we will!!!!!

Ryan and his family were there for the entire weekend.
We all made some new friends, and they
definitely had some new experiences.

Ashley won this ribbon when she beat Grandpa (Dan) on Saturday.
Here she is presenting it to Ryan and his dad.

And here is Dan.

 

          George, from Fremont Center,                              And here he is behind the wheel of the Little Red Rooster.
        is giving Ryan a chance to sit behind the
        wheel of a semi.

Bruce shared his blue ribbon with Ryan and Mom.                  Ryan got a chance to ride on the scraper tractor with Randy.

We don't know how to thank all the fantastic people at the pull over the weekend.

Special thanks go to special people who made the extra effort with Ryan and his family.
It meant so much to them that everyone cared so much.

 

Wild Wheels Weekend is held as a benefit pull.

I would like you to meet Ryan Davis. He is a 12-month old boy with ASD.
There is no wall between the top two chambers in his heart. He is scheduled for surgery on July 25;
so we don't know if he will be able to be at the pull, but his family will be there if they can.

He has had three surgeries. The first two had some complications; but the third one went very well. He is doing just great!!!
 

  Everyone that has participated in our pulls has had the opportunity to meet
the special children that we help. These children are the reason this event exists.
We have helped other children since we began in 2001, and we hope to continue in the future.

   

 

There seems to be some confusion about our pulls. The pulls we put on are BENEFITS. We make NO MONEY on them at all. All profits (not proceeds) go to help with the medical bills of a local child. All the people working there donate their time.

Anyone who has been to the pulls can see the improvements we have made. The pulls started out with the old football field fixed to become a track. There were no guard rails for safety; no lights for night pulls (remember using headlights to light the track?); a tape measure for measuring; poor scales to weigh in. We now have guard rails on both sides of the track--no more snow fence to separate the track from the spectators; a very well lit track area for the night pulls; we now have a laser to measure distance; we have permanently mounted the scales; and we have been told that our track is the best a lot of the pullers have ever pulled on. These are all improvements that have been made in the last couple years. Most pulls are held during the local fair week, so they get support from the state/county. We receive none of that. All our monies are raised by sponsors, entrance fees and pulling fees. I have added a history page with pictures to show the changes I just mentioned. We very much appreciate the support we receive.

One factor in the town's favor is its location. It is very easy to get to--hard to find on the map, but easy to get to. We are about half-way between Binghamton and Utica on Route 8. It is easily accessible from I-88 (Exit 9-Sidney, then Route 8 north for about 10 miles); Or take Route 8 south from Utica for about 50 miles; or I-81 to Cortland, Route 41 east to Cincinnatus, Route 23 east to South New Berlin, then Route 8 south to Mt. Upton.
