June 30, 2016 · 0 Comments
The Albion-Bolton Fairgrounds was definitely not the place for people with tender ears Friday night, but was the place for those who like seeing powerful machines put through their paces. The occasion was the 38th annual Bolton Truck and Tractor Pull, put on by the Albion and Bolton Agricultural Society. Caledon resident Robert Kolb, president of the Society, was pulling the weight down the track in the 8,000-poind modified farm tractor class in a machine called Extreme Impression. The pull was 263.5 feet.
Paul Truax of Angus turned in a pull of 302.87 feet driving this single-engine modified tractor called School’s Out.
