Tractor Pulling - South West Style

Total Friction was built over the winter of 2004/05 by Andrew Harper and Steve Cox. It made its first appearance at the North Somerset Society Show, Wraxall, Nr.Bristol at the opening pull of the tractor pulling season.
The sledge design includes a stable platform from which accurate and repeatable results can be obtained. Safety and ergonomics are a high priority in the design.

All safety systems work on a dead man principle, all settings are made outside of the cab, and so the operator cannot make any changes once the sledge is set. Major priority was to build a light and efficient sledge to cope with the lighter classes, but also to stop the heavier classes. To accomplish this many new innovations have been employed.
Transport and set up time are also a priority, as a new weigh bridge is also included on the sledge offering the complete package to any promoter wishing to put on a pull.
