Berks County Pullers Association had a great weather day for the third garden tractor pull of 2026. Sunday July 12, 2026 turned out to be one of the best weather days of the year so far. Full sunshine, temperatures in the low eighties and no rain.
There were thirty-six pullers who made the trip to the Oley Fairground’s pulling track. The pullers hooked to the sled 158 times during the day. As always at Berks County Pullers shows there were a lot of close pulling distances in the different classes.
I want to thank the pullers and fans who keep supporting the garden tractor pulls. A real big thank you to the track crew who worked on the track all day to give each puller a very good track to pull on. Also thank you to all who helped during the day. Some jobs that they do are: setting up the track, running the sled, driving the pull back tractor, driving the groomer tractor, hooking pullers to the sled, flagging the pull, using a rake to fill in holes, filling the sprayer with water, working in the booth, and putting equipment away after the pull.
Thank you, Schaeffer Catering for doing the food the July pull.
There will be 1st, 2nd and 3rd place trophies for both rounds of the Youth Factory Tractor Classes, for the rest of 2026 pulling year.
We have a sponsor for the 2026 pulling season, it is Joe Rakowski.
Thinking ahead to 2027, it will be the forty-year anniversary of Berks County Puller Association. We are looking at new tee shirts for the anniversary. My daughter Diane has made a great design we are looking at. Put your heads together and come up with how we should celebrate.
The Berks County Pullers home dates for 2026 are: Saturday August 8, 2026, Ice Cream and Peach Festival 11:00, Saturday September 19, 2026, 10:00 Oley Fair, and Sunday October 11, 2026, 11:00. All Berks County Pullers home dates are at the Oley Fire Company Fairgrounds.

Saturday June 20, 2026 Father’s Day weekend, Berks County Pullers Association put on a garden tractor pull at the Oley Fairgrounds. It was a beautiful day for a pulling show. Mostly sunny all day with a nice breeze blowing and the temperature in the low eighties.
Our track crew had to work all day to keep moisture in the track for the pullers. They did a great job to give the pullers a good track to pull on all day. There are a few young pullers who work all day on the track, beside pulling their tractors. They are the future of Berks County Pullers and garden tractor pulling at Oley.
Forty-two pullers came to Oley Fairgrounds clay pulling track to show off their pullers and their driving skills. We had a total of one hundred sixty-nine hooks for the day. Berks County Puller’s have been very happy with the number of pullers coming to the pulls. With the cost of fuel, it has been great to see the number of pullers coming to Oley, PA.
Thank you, Schaeffer Catering for doing the food the June pull.
There will be 1st, 2nd and 3rd place trophies for both rounds of the Youth Factory Tractor Classes, for the rest of 2026 pulling year.
Change of date and start time: Wednesday evening August 5, 2026, at 5:30 pm at Newville, PA. One round of governed garden tractors. Nate Ardnt is putting on the pulling show. Added pull date Saturday July 18, 2026 start time 11:00 at Stevens Fire House.
We have a sponsor for the 2026 pulling season, it is Joe Rakowski. If you want to be a sponsor for the 2026 pulling season let Dale or Chris Lynn know.

BCPA first pull of 2026 was on Sunday May 14, 2026. It turned out to be a beautiful day for a garden tractor pulling show. We had 39 pullers who came to pull their machines on the Oley clay track. There were pullers from PA, NJ, MD and WV who made the trip to Oley, PA. We had a total of 160 hooks to the sled for the day. Two new young pullers were pulling for the first time in the youth classes. The club took in three new members for a total of 31 members for 2026. Thank you to all who helped in anyway during the day, and to the pullers who came to support garden tractor pulling.
There will be 1st, 2nd and 3rd place trophies for both rounds of the Youth Factory Tractor Classes, for the rest of 2026 pulling year.
Change of date and start time: Wednesday evening August 5, 2026, at 5:30 pm at Newville, PA. One round of governed garden tractors. Nate Ardnt is putting on the pulling show. Added pull date Saturday July 18, 2026 start time 11:00 at Stevens Fire House.
We have a sponsor for the 2026 pulling season, it is Joe Rakowski. If you want to be a sponsor for the 2026 pulling season let Dale or Chris Lynn know.
Thinking ahead to 2027, it will be the forty-year anniversary of Berks County Puller Association. We are looking at new tee shirts for the anniversary. My daughter Diane has made a great design we are looking at. Put yours heads together and come up with how we should celebrate.
Thank you Schaeffer Catering for doing the food the May pull.
