The first Australian modified tractor pull was held at the Elmore Field Days in 1976, and in 2022 the Elmore Events Centre was excited to bring the tractor pull back to where it all began.

The Elmore & District Machinery Field Days Committee, St Joseph’s Primary School Rochester and Down Under Modified Tractor Pulling Association (Down Under MTPA) partnered together to present this event, which was a great success.
What is a tractor pull? A modified tractor pulls a weighted sled along an 11m wide and 100m long dirt track, and as the tractor pulls the sled further the more forward the weight goes on the sled causing the sled to get harder to pull.
When the tractor “pulls” the whole 100m this is called a full pull.
Tractor pulling is known as most powerful motorsport due to some tractors having more than one engine with some of them being over 1000hp.
The Elmore Tractor Pull will be back on March 16, 2024. Head to https://www.facebook.com/elmoretractorpull for up-to-date information and purchase tickets closer to the event.
“We are planning for another huge event in 2024, with some exciting activities happening alongside it,” Elmore Tractor Pull Committee member Grant Shawcross said.
Come and talk to the Down Under MPTA and check out some of their tractors on site at this year’s Elmore Field Days.
