Pack Pullers

The American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE) International Quarter-Scale Tractor Student Design Competition is an engineering competition that helps prepare students for the workplace by challenging them with real-world engineering experiences.

The PackPullers compete in this competition each year in June. Although this is an engineering competition, anyone with mechanical skill on campus may join the team. In 2024 the Pack Pullers brought home 1st place overall.

Please see ASABE 1/4 scale tractor Competition to learn all about it.
