About Us

Thank you for visiting Badger State Tractor Pullers (BSTP).

 

Over the years BSTP has grown and many of BSTP's pulling vehicles are now considered top contenders in the nation. Besides pulling at the BSTP events which are now held in Wisconsin, Illinois, and Iowa, they can be seen pulling at some of the elite winter indoor pulls such as the National Farm Machinery Show in Louisville Kentucky, Midwest Winter Nationals in Gordyville USA / Gifford Illinois, and the Southern Illinois Winter Shoot Out in DuQuoin Illinois. BSTP became associated with the Lucas Oil Pro Pulling League (PPL) in 2006. Please visit the PPL website at www.propulling.com for more information. BSTP has become one of the strongest organizations affiliated with tractor and truck pulling in the United States today.


For booking information, please contact the BSTP office or e-mail us at: info@bstp.org As for the fans, please review our pulling schedule and check us out at a pull to see one of the most exciting motorsports competition in the world today.

Tractor Pulling
 
The concept of pulling is based upon who can pull the sled the farthest on a dirt track. The dirt track is 300 feet long with 2 white lines on each side for boundaries. If a competitor touches the line, they will be disqualified. In the class, competitors draw numbers in the order they will hook to the sled. The competitor has one attempt to make a pull. Once the competitor makes his or her pull, the distance is measured. These distances are recorded and the results are based upon those distances. If more than one competitor travels beyond 300 feet, a "Pull Off" will occur. Based on the sled operators judgment, another weight will be added or a faster gear will be selected on the sled to stop the pulling vehicle before 300 feet.

 Weight Transfer
 
The weight transfer, otherwise known as the "Sled" or "Eliminator", is hooked to the pulling vehicle by a chain. As the competitor takes off down the track, the load will progressively get harder to pull. The two major components of the sled are the box and pan. The pan is sliding on the ground without much resistance at the start of the pull. The pan will increase friction with the track as the box (which is chain driven with the wheels) comes toward the front of the sled. Inside the box are multiple lead blocks weighing a ton. As the box moves forward, applying more weight to the pan, eventually the pulling vehicle will stop.
