Thank you for your help…we have a skid/weights for our Peddle Tractor Pull for June 23 in Sioux City!

Thank you to all that gave me a call to help…..Pat Fay has made arrangements with his local FFA Alumni Association to borrow their set up so we are ready!  Thank you again for all
your help!

With the cooperation of WHO Radio, The Big Show and FFA, Titan Tire has developed a tire specifically designed for tractor rides. This tire is a conventional R-1 with a solid rib down the center known as CRCR Technology. The CRCR or Comfort Ride Center Rib provides an extremely smooth ride and improves lug wear for those long days on the road.

Contact Linda Adamson at Titan Tire for ordering details.
