Pulling remained basically the same through the '70s, with only stock and modified tractors. The NTPA's early years were events that used standard farm vehicles, with the motto "Pull on Sunday, plow on Monday". In 1969, representatives from eight states congregated to create a uniform book of rules to give the sport the much needed structure, and created the National Tractor Pullers Association (NTPA). This made the sport difficult for new entrants. The rules varied from state to state, county to county, and competitors never knew what standards to follow. It was also realized, at that time, there were no uniform set of rules. It wasn't until 1929 that motorized vehicles were put to use in these events although the sport was recognized then, it did not really become popular until the '50s and '60s. Instead of people, fixed weights on sleds are dragged as far as possible. This event, called horse pulling, is still carried out today with specially bred horses trained to have high strength and low stamina, rather than low strength and high stamina which is normally the case with racing horses. One by one, people jumped on the door until the horse could no longer drag it the horse pulling the most people the greatest distance was judged the strongest. A barn door was removed and laid flat on the ground, and the horse was then hitched to it the farmer would then urge the horse to drag the barn door along the ground. Farmers would challenge one another to contests to prove who had the strongest horse. They would claim that their horse could tow large loads, such as a fully loaded hay cart or wagon. It is said that around the 1860s when farming machines were pulled by horse, farmers would boast about the strength of their horses. STOCK MANUFACTURED GARDEN TRACTORS ONLY NO MODIFIED!
