This spectacular event, unique to Quambatook, will explode on Easter Saturday as power hungry, highly modified tractors and trucks battle it out for the prized Australian Tractor Pull Championship titles.
Competitors will take off the rev limiters and scream the RPM’s. Methanol, Nitros, Diesel & high octane fuels will hit your senses, while tractors & trucks thunder down the track in an earth shaking program.

These creations just seem to get better every year.
