This Tractor weathervane was commissioned as a Christmas gift for a wife for her husband. They had recently finished a new two-car garage with a cupola on top of it. Our customer’s husband is a big Tractor Pulling aficionado and she wanted us to match the markings on his custom built tractor. We used gold leaf for the flames and several other accents and some palladium and nickel silver for the chrome accents. She was gracious enough to send us some wonderful photos of the new Tractor weathervane after it was installed. See photos at right.

Truck and tractor pulling, also known as power pulling, is a competition using tractors and large trucks to pull a heavy drag along a 'track' and is very popular in rural areas. Usually the drag offers progressively greater resistance as it is pulled. It can be a great spectacle, although the vehicle produces a great deal of noise and smoke and tends to kick up dirt. Also, the tractors pulling don't actually travel very far (a typical "full pull" is 300 feet). There are many different classes, from "factory" tractors, to custom built vehicles with multiple engines.
