Heavyweight pulling competition - Each team has 3 minutes to get hooked up to the Dynamometer or they are disqualified. Whipping the horses is also grounds for disqualification. They get two attempts to reach a Full Pull (27 feet & 6 inches). If they can't make it during the first two tries, they'll get a third attempt at the end of each round. After each round the weight is increased a little.




This team was one of a few that weighed over 5000 pounds
