The new Adler

After a 1 year absence, the Adler Pulling Team from Süderhastedt in Germany, are building a new 3.5t modified tractor at the moment. The new Adler gets a new Domex wedge frame and a new constructed rear axle. In the past, the team had a lot of problems with their old rear axle in the old tractor. So, the team are decided to build a new rear axle with a better ring and pinion gear. The engine settings at the Continental V12 and at the Chevy V8 engine are the same as in 2013. Also, the tyres and fenders are the same. The first start of the new Adler is planned in the German Championship for 2015.

Long Road Home: The Larry Koester Story

Shell Rotella "Unsung" - Tractor Pull Champ Larry Koester Featured

Shell Rotella debuted two new Unsung films at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas this week. The new films chronicle the inspirational story of how Larry Koester endured severe injuries he suffered in a work tractor accident and how he overcame the loss of both legs to become a multi-time tractor pulling champion.  The second film chronicles the Bakers, a multi-generation trucking family from St. Catharines, Ontario, and their passion for the open road.

Unsung is a dynamic short-form documentary series that tells the compelling stories of unsung heroes and how their work and lifestyles are intertwined. This innovative film series is part of the continued efforts by Shell Rotella to honor hardworking people.

Both films can be viewed at the new Shell Rotella YouTube page.  More details about the films are below.

Long Road Home: The Larry Koester story

Larry Koester is a husband, a father, and a 60-year-old champion in the sport of high-octane tractor pulling. Engines growl with more than three times the maximum power allowed by NASCAR–and ‘pullers’ use every tool they have to direct this extreme horsepower down the dirt track. Larry pulls his mini-modified tractor as well as, or better than, the best of them...and it just so happens he does it all without the use of the legs he lost in a farm tractor accident over 30 years ago. This is the story of how Larry got to where he is today, and how he, his wife Caesar, and their children Adam and Ashley got through one of the hardest tests of their lives.

Baker Trucking

After years of growing up in his father’s truck shop, Tommy Baker is poised to take over his father Billy’s business, but Billy isn’t sure if Tommy–a gifted but undrafted amateur hockey player–is right for the trucking business. With a journey from St. Catharines, Ontario to Charlotte, North Carolina, this is a story of father and son, Shell Rotella SuperRigs truck past and present, and a shared passion for life on the road.

The original short-form documentaries can be viewed at www.youtube.com/rotellaunsung
