Any tractor pull may be called the ultimate contest between the proverbial immovable object and the irresistible force, but at Quambatook Easter Saturday 15th April, driven by competitive spirit and brute force, horsepower is king when the tractor is hooked.

The 2WD & 4WD farm tractors will also compete for the championship during the day. The return of the ‘Quamby Quaker’ in 2016 was a huge highlight and will prove such again when it hits the track this Easter Saturday. The highly modified pulling machines will be competing non-stop on two tracks.
