Meet The Team

Clarkie is also a BTPA-approved clutch inspector, a past chairman and knows a thing or two about pulling. The Buckinghamshire farmer is also the go-to man in the UK for super stock advice, and has built plenty of them in his workshop, influencing many along the way.

Joe is the BTPA’s chairman, and is also the BTPA’s head track marshall. An influential member of the board, Joe works closely with the BTPA’s insurer and the ETPC’s sledge inspection team (SIT), to keep a firm grasp on all matters safety-related. He spends his days behind the wheel of his beloved eight-wheel Scania tipper, helping his daughter to build her sand and gravel transport business.

Richard has been a familiar face with the DieselRoss pulling team for the last few years, and is one of the directors of Performance Sledging which owns the British sledge. Keen to promote all aspects of tractor pulling, he is also the BTPA vice chairman. Richard has spent the last 35 years in the farm machinery business and is a director of East Yorkshire-based farm machinery and consultancy business, Northcross Ag.

Away from the track, Toddy is aftersales manager for JG Paxton and Sons.

Martin is also a director of the Scottish Tractor Pullers Club, and a BTPA clutch inspector. When time allows, he also competes with his Fendt super farm tractor called the Diesel Ross, on those rare occasions he gets to spend away from the family business Ross Agri Services.

As a representative of the farm stock committee and a former promoter for North West events, Sarah has many years’ experience of planning and organising pulls, and is a go-to for general event advice.
