Power Made Lambada returns to Europe for the beginning of the 2026 season

The yellow-blue Mini Modified tractor called “Power Made Lambada” from the Lambada Pulling Team from Zwolle in the Netherlands will return to Europe for the 2026 season. After its only appearance on European soil at Europe’s largest tractor pulling event in Made, Netherlands, last year, the Mini was shipped by the Dingerinks to the USA, where the team competed at the National Tractor Pulling Championships in Bowling Green, Ohio, and promoted Europe’s largest tractor pulling event (Made’s Powerweekend).

There, driver Wim Dingerink secured a 8th and an 14th place finish in a field of over 50 competitors. Following its appearance in Bowling Green, Ohio, last August, the yellow-blue Mini sponsored by Made’s Powerweekend is returning to the Netherlands to join the Lambada Pulling Team. 

There, the tractor will be prepared for the 2026 season, and the Lambada Pulling Team will compete with the Power Made Lambada at five events across Europe from late April through mid-June.

The Lambada Team will compete with the Mini in Füchtorf, Langedijk, Loerbeek, Stroe, and Made. After the five events on European soil, the tractor will then be shipped back to the USA at the end of June, where the Lambada Pulling Team, with the support of Made’s Powerweekend, will participate in two events in August. The first stop for the Power Made Lambada, built with a supercharged BAE V8 Hemi race engine and supported by Boyd Performance, will be the Hillsboro Charity Pull in Hillsboro, Wisconsin. 

The 2026 tour will once again conclude with the National Tractor Pulling Championships in Bowling Green, Ohio. The team led by Wim and Gert Dingerink is hoping for another successful outing in the Mini Modified class in Bowling Green, Ohio, with the Power Made Lambada. The Lambada Pulling Team has also entered the Power Made Lambada at the last minute for the Dutch Championship as well as the Euro Cup.

As in the previous year, the team will once again be supported in 2026 by its sponsors Made's Powerweekend, Inter-Techno, Toplenzen, and Boyd Performance.

The 2026 Power Made Lambada Tour:

25th and 26th of April 2026: Füchtorf (GER) (Euro Cup)

23rd of May 2026: Langedijk (NL) (Dutch Championship)

30th of May 2026: Loerbeek (NL) (Dutch Championship)

Facelift for Rabbit G'n Wild

At the Indoor Pull in Fredericia, Denmark, the Rabbit Pulling Team led by Henrik Svenningsen from Hjallerup in northern Denmark unveiled their redesigned “Rabbit G'n Wild” for the 2026 season for the first time. After nearly 12 years with the same look, the tractor underwent a complete facelift over the past winter. The Component Super Stock received a new hood and new fenders. The old Massey Ferguson 8737 hood, which was built by Ace Chassis in the USA, was replaced with a brand-new Massey Ferguson 9S 425 hood. The Massey Ferguson 9S series was unveiled in 2023 at Agritechnica in Hanover, Germany. It is currently the largest standard tractor in the Massey Ferguson lineup. 

Rabbit G'n Wild with the old look

The MF 9S Series is powered by a turbocharged 6-cylinder AGCO Power 84 LXTN engine (formerly SISU) with a displacement of 8.4 liters. The new 9S hood on the “Rabbit G'n Wild” is not a replica hood made of sheet aluminum like the old 8737 hood from “Ace Chassis.” The Rabbit Pulling Team received the Massey Ferguson 9S 425 hood as a sponsorship from AGCO / Massey Ferguson Denmark in Randers. Apart from a few modifications, the hood remained almost in its original condition. Only the side of the hood were custom-made. The side panels were constructed from aluminum sheet metal. 

In addition, the old aluminum fenders were replaced with new, custom-built fenders. The back end of the custom-built fenders comes off a MF 8400 and rest of it is made off aluminum sheet metal. Like the old one, the Rabbit G'n Wild’s new 9S hood can be opened electrically. The Rabbit Pulling Team did all the sheet metal work and the modifications to the hood. Nothing was changed on the tractor’s chassis, everything remained the same as in the previous years. The chassis, which is made of chrome-moly tubing, has been in use ever since the team built the tractor. It was built in 2013 by Mike Stinson of Ace Chassis in the USA, who also built the old Massey Ferguson 8737 hood for the Rabbit G'n Wild.

No big changes were made to the 6-cylinder Cummins engine with a 10.5l displacement and 3 Harts turbochargers under the new 9S hood over the winter. 

The engine was overhauled, and was equipped with some new improved parts. The 3 Harts turbochargers also received some minor setup changes to improve their performance. Since the engine in the Rabbit G'n Wild did not always run smoothly last year, the team hopes that these adjustments will further improve reliability and mileage in 2026.

In addition to the facelift featuring the new hood, there was another visible change to the “Rabbit G'n Wild.” The Firestone Puller 2000 HP 30.5x32 tires were replaced with a set of newly cut Parkes Puller 30.5x32 tires. Having seen the Parkes Puller tires for the first time at the National Tractor Pulling Championships in Bowling Green, Ohio, in 2025, the team was impressed. Following their visit in Bowling Green, they decided to order a set of these tires for the 2026 season, as the Danes wanted to try something new compared to their European competitors. The Parkes Puller tires were developed by Bob Parkes, the owner of Custom Tire Cutting Inc. from Oaktown, Indiana in the USA. But the Rabbit Pulling Team from Denmark had ordered and purchased the tires at Extreme Performance & Tire Cutting in Rock Valley, Iowa, USA. Taylor van Beek, the owner of Extreme Performance & Tire Cutting has cut the tires for the Danish Team. Extreme Performance & Tire Cutting is a exclusive dealer for Parkes Puller tires in the USA.

The Rabbit Pulling Team is currently one of the first pulling teams in Europe to use a set of cut 30.5x32 Parkes Puller tires. According to reports, several sets of these new Parkes Puller tires have been exported from the USA to Europe, so we will likely see a few more teams using these tires on their pulling tractors over the course of the year.

The new, cut Parkes Puller tires were mounted on new, polished aluminum rims from Northern Sheen in Canada. The team was satisfied with the performance of the new tires at the indoor pull in Fredericia, though the competition did not go entirely without incident for the team. Unfortunately, the bottom Harts turbocharger failed during the final. Despite the broken turbocharger, Nikolaj Svenningsen was still able to secure 3rd place with the “Rabbit G'n Wild.”

Overall, the new Massey Ferguson 9S hood gives the Rabbit G'n Wild a fresh new look that is sure to be popular with tractor-pulling fans. The Rabbit Pulling Team will once again compete in the Danish Championship and the Euro Cup during the 2026 season with the updated Rabbit G'n Wild.
