Other pulling news

"I’m satisfied with the results in Bernay. Although the track was exceptionally dry I managed to get a bit further than the other competitors. Normally a track with good traction is better for us, because then we really can get advantage from the HiTech PowerShift. Now the track was slippery and therefore the differences were small. On the basis of this first event it is hard to point out the strongest tractors this season, but for sure they all are more competitive than ever.

Unfortunately Johanna was out of luck this weekend. She made a good start and was going fast , but the pull stopped suddenly somewhere in 90 meters due to some technical problems. Later at the pit we found out that the reason for the sudden and sharp rise of revs was a breakage in transmission which damaged the engine.

Next we will compete on the 10th of June in Oulainen, Finland. That will be the opening of the pulling season in Finland and the first round of Finnish Championships as well."
