Larry Koester is a husband, a father, and a champion in the sport of high-octane tractor pulling. Engines growl with more than three times the maximum power allowed by NASCAR – and ‘pullers’ use every tool they have to direct extreme horsepower down the dirt track. Larry pulls his mini-modified tractor as well as, or better than, the best of them…and it just so happens he does it all without the use of the legs he lost in a farm tractor accident over thirty years ago. This piece showcases Larry’s outlook on life and belief that hard work triumphs over all. Larry works hard.
