This top-level event will take place on August 26 to 28 in Great Eccleston, Great Britain. Organised by the European Tractor Pulling Committee (ETPC) and hosted by the North West Tractor Pulling Club, European teams will compete in eight classes during the 3-day event.
Emil Houška, Communications & Brand Senior Manager for Mitas tyres, says: “This is a key event for us, as we continue to develop tyres especially for tractor pulling, in the two most common sizes. We will have a range of agricultural tyres on display, including our PowerPull 01 tyres in 24.5L32 and 30.5L32 sizes, universal silent running HCM (High Capacity Municipal) tyres for all-season use, and AGRITERRA 02 tyres for modern agricultural trailers. We are excited to meet attendees and demonstrate to them how our tyres can facilitate their everyday work and challenge.
“During the event, a special interview with Kevin Whittingham from Team Whittingham tractor pulling team will be held at our Mitas trailer, giving visitors the chance to listen to his experiences and the benefits of PowerPull 01 tyres. We are so proud to continue to support this great event in one of the world’s most powerful motorsports.”
The tractor pulling show will take place from Friday August 26, to Sunday, August 28 with visitors able to see all tractor pulling classes competing.
Mitas is also proud to be the official sponsor of the Mitas Eurocup Series 2022 tractor pulling series, organised by the European Tractor Pulling Committee.
