bg 4×4 fest sled pull

Have you ever wondered how the national tractor pullers pull a sled? This is your chance to register for the BG 4×4 Fest Sled Pull on Saturday, Oct. 5. BG 4×4 Fest allows 4×4 drivers (Jeeps, Pickups, Broncos, 4Runners, etc.) to test their skill and the power of their vehicle to pull a weighted sled down our track at the Wood County Fairgrounds.

what you need to know:​

  • Just like the National Tractor Pulling Championships, the sled pulls will be divided by weight class and all vehicles must have a 3”x 3-¾” hitch.
  • You must register your 4×4 in advance of Oct. 5. This is a family-friendly event.
  • At this time there are no prizes or awards for the longest pulls.
