Homebuilt Pedal Puller Tractors
A few years ago FARM SHOW featured my home-built "super puller" pedal tractors (Vol. 14, No. 3). The story showed two versions - a 4-WD mini Versatile that hinges in the center for steering and has duals all the way around, and a 2-WD Deere replica with

Homebuilt Pedal Puller Tractors FARM HOME recreation 25-4-35 A few years ago FARM SHOW featured my home-built "super puller" pedal tractors (Vol. 14, No. 3). The story showed two versions - a 4-WD mini Versatile that hinges in the center for steering and has duals all the way around, and a 2-WD Deere replica with
dual wheels on the rear. Both have easy-to-shift transmissions with low and high gears. Since the story was published I've built many other models, including 20 tractors, 20 go-carts, 4 monster trucks, a couple of pulling sleds, and even a mini Caterpillar 75C Challenger. The rigs are engineered with the right weight, balance, traction, strength and gearing so that even a small child can pull a lot of weight. They're also built strong enough to stand up to adult abuse. For years I took my pedal pullers to fairgrounds all over the western U.S., where I entertained kids with pedal pulls. They really enjoyed the competition. About five years ago I finally sold all of my pedal pullers to a person in Missouri. (Harry Benjamin, 205 S. Devon Rd., Great Falls, Mont. 59474 ph 406 432-2196)
