Monster Machines Powered by Jet Engines

The recent Bank Holiday weekend saw Wyre play host to the Tractor Pulling Championships at Great Eccleston.

For anyone who doesn’t know, these are monster machines powered by jet engines – yes, the ones you will find in aircraft!

In a nutshell, they “pull” a weight at the back of the tractor called a sled as far as they can down a track and the one who “pulls” the furthest is the winner.
