Bears in a cage!

Off to Made

After a crazy week in the workshop, we have both tractors ready for the trip to Holland for the seconds round of the Euro Cup. 

Lets hope they run like angry bears once we let them out of the cage!

Shakey Super Pull 2012

A great weekend at the Shakey Super Pull, after 50mm of rain on the Thursday and Friday pulling took place under sunny skies on both Saturday and Sunday.

The championship points class on Saturday saw Baby Bear finishing in 3rd place and Ice Bear in 4th place.

Ice Bear

Mike in full-flow, put a storming run down for a very fast full pull, but unfortunately couldn't return for the pull off due to a problem with the valve in the cylinder head.

Baby Bear

Gareth had two great runs on Baby Bear finishing in 3rd place just behind Simply Red and Rough Justice.

Tiny Bear

The newest member to the team driven by Gareth's son, Nathan Jones had a great weekend with a 2nd and 3rd in the garden class and is now leading the Championship!

A big thank-you to all our sponsors and supporters who helped make this weekend such a success for the Bear Essentials Team and the Midlands Tractor Pullers Club.

We look forward to seeing everybody again next year!

Bernay 2012

Bears on Tour

The Bears went to Bernay, France for the first round of the Euro Cup competition on the Queens Jubilee weekend.
The pit area was decorated by Jane to show our support.

Ice Bear

After the success in Fuchtorf, Germany we were looking forward to a good start to the season in Bernay, and Mike was going really well until unfortunately the main drive pulley came off! 

Baby Bear

Not such a good day, clutch problems meant we could not boost off the line. Lets hope better luck next time!


Some work to do before our home pull next week at Stratford for The Shakey Super Pull 2012!

This latest addition is a 350kg garden tractor that will be driven by Nathan Jones, son of Gareth Jones. The tractor is the former Rev 'n Wreck It, which Anthony Barnes from Cumbria drove.

The tractor has already had a new paint job and is now waiting for some new stickers.
