Langford tractor pulls5/6/2023 In my on going quest to discover where the oldest known tractor pull is, it is now Langford, in my search. Peglow will recuperate and heal properly in due time. It also was great to visit with each of you, too. I agree with everything the Wright's said.Īnd they were the LLSS winner with the "American Beauty" Case diesel with a phenomenal hook.Ĭongratulations Larry and Donna. We come home with more money than we left with, and we want to thank all involved for allowing us to be a part of this tradition. We were treated by all pullers and promoters wonderfully. I understand he is recovering from a concussion, and some broken bones. It took an hour to carefully stabilize him and remove him from the tractor. He was airlifted from the grounds after being treated by EMT's and track personnel. Our thoughts and prayers are with Steve Peglow, his family and his "pulling family" as he recovers from a really hard ride. All of the tractors made a competitive run with seven at 300 feet or better. There were 18 tractors in the class and the pay out was $6,250. Mark Gabel and Ed Shoobridge and several others from WNYPP put in several hours to make this class part of the Langford pull. We pulled in the LLSS class that was sanctioned by Western New York Pro Pulling Series. Pullers in the LLSS had no gate fee or entry fee. The pull Sunday started at noon and ran until midnight, featuring top of the line equipment. On Saturday night the country music show by Ty Herndon, Jamie O'Neal and Andy Griggs started at 6:00 PM and played till midnight. This small town does not even have a stop light, but easily had over 8000 people in attendance. The grounds covered 40 acres, and was full of campers and pullers/haulers. It seems they have gotten it right, because it was great. This one must be the oldest in the county. It takes a lot of dedication and a lot of people to put a pull on this large-and do it since 1946!! That's 69 years of tractor pulling. We want to send special thanks to the Volunteer Fire Department for their hard work. We were at the Langford pull this past weekend.
