Myers Pedal Tractor Pulls - Fees & Expectations
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 always 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.
The *Base Fee includes six 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 and will be discussed before a final contract for the pedal pull is drawn.
Yes we include sanctioning in our base. Your children
will get qualified for state. We insist - as it is a sign of
our high expectations of ourselves and any pull we do.
Everyone else normally talks about adding this.
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.

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.
Winners and qualifier pictures on-line with result listing featuring sponsors.
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 last 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.
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.
