The tractor pull continues that tradition, showcasing some of the toughest machines and most dedicated competitors in Australian motorsport.
A modified tractor pulls a weighted sled along an 11m wide by 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 the most powerful motorsport, as some tractors feature more than one engine and can exceed 1000hp.
This year is particularly significant, marking 50 years since the first tractor pull was held in Australia.
Elmore has become one of the key venues supporting the sport, providing a consistent platform for competition and helping to maintain the long-standing tradition of tractor pulling in Australia.
At the heart of the event is the strong partnership with Down Under Tractor Pulling, which coordinates and runs multiple tractor pulling events across Australia.
Adding even more excitement to the night, VicMow Victorian Mower Racing Association tear around the track, delivering fast-paced, high-energy action that keeps the momentum rolling between pulls.
Their presence brings a different flavour of motorsport to Elmore, making the event a true all-round experience for families, enthusiasts and first-timers alike.
As engines cool and the dust settles, one thing is clear, the Elmore Tractor Pull isn’t just about who pulls the sled the furthest.
It’s about honouring 50 years of Australian tractor pulling, celebrating community, and keeping a powerful tradition roaring into the future.
Tickets for this unmissable event are available online through the Elmore Field Days website or at the gate on the day.
