The DTTOe.V. , on it's 30th anniversary, got a new competition system.
In the past you could choose between a Points Pull with all classes, a Cup Pull with 5 classes or a (Hot) Farm Pull with a max of four "bigger" tractors giving a demo.
Now every promoter can either do a "Garden Pull", "Farm Pull" or "Tractor Pull".
The tractors are split in three pools:

Garden Puller
Farm Puller (anything under 68mm inlet)
Tractor Puller (4 different Mod classes, Pro Stock, SS, Mini rods)

Any promoter of a Garden or Farm Pull can now book up to three classes out of the "Tractor Pulling" package and hold a competition for points.

Tractor Pulling promoters need to have a minimum of four classes out of the "Tractor Puller" pool and a minimum of one class out of the Farm Pulling pool.
