A picture of the action behind the pull - Table is continuously manned.

 

What do we the puller supply?

 

Yes we are one of only two sites I know of that give you an idea of cost up front no strings attached. I can almost say we will be less than this estimate, but sometimes we have to hold to it.

 

We are bringing the best show (for the dollar) in pedal pulling, pull in - pull out, and we are limited in our scheduling dates. We have proved our equipment at every level, including a great State and outstanding National. We guarantee we will only get better and we will travel if the date and price is right. Please if we are trying to help you out by making a long trip; look in your area for another community that could do a pull so we can serve as many children as possible. This also can cause a split of the mileage charge.

 

First of all every fee is a little different and depending on the situation there are assorted possible discounts, including first year and loyalty discounts.

 

The *Base Fee ($300) includes five tractors, two sleds, paperwork for State qualifiers at least 2 boys and 2 girls in each age division, Participation ribbons for every participant, PA System and a great family like any of the top pullers. We go the extra mile to make sure it is the best we can do for every pull. Many times we travel to the site ahead of the date to make sure we have a plan. Our crew is 3-7 people all who need to eat, etc. It does not take long to use this base up. Of  Course, all fees can be discussed.   

 Check with us on special discounts on pulls that are on certain dates in July and/or tie together with other pulls on longer trips.

Your cost is the base + mileage + award = total 

 

Mileage: What is the distance from Lenox Iowa 50851 to your location? Pull up mapquest.com and punch in your community and Lenox under directions. It will give you the fastest route which is the way we travel.  The rate is $1 per mile one way. 50 miles makes it $50.

 

Now you need the awards.

  Our basic package including 9 1st place trophies, 9 2nd place Medallions and 9 3rd place Medallions. For Boys/Girls mixed divisions 4-12. Approx $125 

 

 Of course there are many award packages possible. Check on what ever set up you like.

 

So now you have a package of awards. Add your awards to your base and mileage and you have an estimate. There can be other costs, for instance a long trip may require lodging which may need to be added. Once again there are ways to cut cost by helping us connect with another pull in the area on the same day, adjoining days, or weekend. Also remember if your event can help others they may like to help with the fees, and we can include their names in the sponsors list.

 

Lets say you are 75 miles and decide on basic awards.

$300+$75+$125=$500

 

 With all this said do not let the price stop you from checking with us. We will work with you like nobody else. On the other hand remember you are getting the best.

 

 Don't hold back on asking organizations about helping with Sponsorship of your event. Groups such as Farm Bureau, Phone Companies, HyVee, Implement dealers, etc. are happy to provide sponsorship when an idea is brought to them. Drop me a note and I might have someone that can help.

 

With the agreed upon fee we can provide the following.

 

  1. We will bring the tractors, sled(s), and weight needed for the pull.

  1. We will bring the paperwork to sanction at least 2 boys and 2 girls to qualify for State. (Iowa 2 & 2, Missouri and Nebraska 3 & 3)

  1. We will bring the level of Trophies and awards you want.

  1. We will bring participation ribbons to be given to all who try to pull. We, also, will bring ribbons for the State qualifiers since it is possible to not be in the top three overall and still qualify for state.
  2. We will endeavor to bring a quality PA System, can not guarentee that any electronic feature will never have a problem.
  3. We will bring Parent/Guardian waivers/signup sheets for registration.
  4. Once scheduling of an event is confirmed we will send out a contract to confirm the agreed time, date, and location. Also the agreed upon fees. One copy will be signed and returned to Myers Pedal Tractor Pulls, LLC along with a non refundable $125 (or 33% which ever is higher) date retainer, so the pre-pull items such as trophies and sanctioning can be purchased. After confirmation the event will be listed on our website and once sanctioning is ordered it will be listed on the State website if the State involved has one.

Options to add to your event, or how to spice up your event.

1. In some larger pulls folks like to have separate divisions for boys and girls. In this case you now have 18 divisions and we suggest Trophies for both first places and medals for each second, then decide if you want third places. This is twice as many awards and would require an additional charge to cover the above provided cost. As a matter of fact you may choose all trophies as an option.

2. Suggestion would be to schedule your pull immediately after the parade and in conjunction with a fund raising dinner. Let the folks know there is a quality meal for a cause. Many charge $6-$8 for a plate and clean up. This works good on its own or as part of a larger event. Of course, if your a fair or event charging a gate fee your in great shape.

What do we need from the sponsor?

 

1.      Ideally 60 to 70 feet of flat cement or asphalt, and it would be best to have a clear 10+ feet of width for the track. 

 

2.       Time for setup, the event, and pickup. In General we have at least a half hour for registration and during this we set up. Then the event can run an hour and one half in most cases. If we think there is likely to be 150 or more then we should allow 2 hours + to be safe. We did 142 in 2 hours this season, remember we have two sleds and can run two if there is enough help (2 men per sled).

 

3.       A person to help at the table with names and other paperwork. We are finding with my wife and girls available the table is pretty good. This person can hand out ribbons and awards on for the sponsors, including Participation ribbons.

 

4.       One or two mature individuals to help with the operation of the pulling equipment. Such as returning the sled or tractors to the starting point. Two is ideal.

 

5.       An electrical outlet with in 50-100 feet of the pull site. (For the PA system)

 

6.       Many sponsors have actually brought pop or drinks as additional participation awards. You will get a great deal of credit amoung the kids for this one. We just had one where McDonalds donated cards for free ice cream cones and apple dippers. So there are many possibilities.

 

7.       The remaining fees owed at our arrival and before the pull begins and must have two helpers for the sled and tractors.

 

8.       Suggest an alternative site such as a fire hall or large shelter in case of rain. We can not pull in a down pour. We also suggest shade when reasonable. Please consider bleachers or seating if possible.
