Student team member Grant Wonderlich demonstrates the pulling power of UK’s 2004 quarter—scale  _
tractor while biosystems and agricultural engineering associate Tim Smith rides behind on a weight ma-  
chine. »
The UK Biosystems and Agricultural Engineering Wildcat Pulling Team, comprised of 20 students °  
and five faculty advisors, earned second place with the tractor in the International Quarter—Scale Trac- . '
tor Design Competition in East Moline, Ill. UK’s entry featured this tandem four—wheel hydrostatic »
drive train and a controller area network, with a personal digital assistant user interface for improved  
driver control. i
The objective of the competition was for students to be involved in all aspects of developing a prod- T
uct for the marketplace. The competition tested entrants from 25 universities in several categories such V.
as design, maneuverability and pulling performance, measured by the distance each tractor pulled a ·’*
moveable weight sled.
