Those who took first, second and third places, will be awarded with 'Belarus' tractors.
The participants had to overcome eight stages: time races, water obstacles, paired ring races with a change of tracks, and final high-speed maneuvers.
The unique tractor races have been taking place in Rostov Region since 2002, gathering about 30,000 spectators each year...
All tractors in their respective classes pull a set weight in the sled.
When a tractor gets to the end of the 100 metre track, this is known as a "full pull".
When more than one tractor completes the course, more weight is added to the sled, and those competitors that moved past 300 feet will compete in a pull-off; the winner is the one who can pull the sled the farthest.
The sled is known as a weight transfer sled.
This means that as it is pulled down the track, the weight is transferred (linked with gears to the sled’s wheels) from over the rear axles and towards the front of the sled. In front of the rear wheels, there is a "pan".
This is essentially a metal plate and as the weight moves over this the resistance builds.
The farther the tractor pulls the sled, the more difficult it gets.
