I remember well competing in a backing contest at our local county fair. It was for any body 18 years old or younger. You could use your own tractor or one provided by the local Massey Ferguson dealership. needless to say, I was on our own Massey 65 with a single front wheel. The course was some 2 X 4's on 5 gallon buckets creating a parking space and the tractor was hooked up to a 1 axle manure spreader. You drove out and turned 90 degrees and weaved back and forth through 5 50 gallon drums that were spaced out in a straight row. When you got to the end, you then needed to back the spreader back through the barrels and back into the parking space. It was a timed event and if you touched a barrel or the buckets or were unsafe, you were disqualifed. I recall winning this event 3 years in a row as a 15, 16 and 17 year old. I like the idea of a backing contest. 4 wheeled wagons are obviously harder but if there was a similar local contest, I would try my hand again.
