START your engines and get ready for one of the biggest and most exciting events on the calendar this year! The Price Tractor Pull.

All you will need is a gold coin donation to get amongst the full-throttle family fun, with kids entertainment, food and market stalls, show and shine and much more.

Starting off on Friday night, (August 1) head down to the Price Club Rooms, at 7.30pm, for a live show from the ELVIS the King.

Then on Saturday and Sunday (August 2-3) we have the main event, with some of the peninsula’s oldest tractors demonstrating they still have what it takes, from 9am to 4pm daily.

Second time entrant Melissa Kenny said her kids could not wait for the event, but she was also excited to give the competition another crack.

“The first year it was definitely a tractor push for me, but I am very grateful I did it because it was a lot of fun, and it’s just a wonderful community event to be a part of,” Ms Kenny said.

As a farmer, Ms Kenny definitely knows how to drive the modern machinery, but those skills do not necessarily translate to historic models used in the pull.

“It’s different gear boxes, and you are sort of manhandling it a little more compared to that modern push button technology used today,” she said.

“Last time was a very new experience for me, learning to drive a vintage tractor for the event” 

But thanks to the supportive Price community, and especially the other women competing with her, Ms Kenny said she worked it all out and had a great time.

“With each pull you sort of understand that you’re kind of balancing,” she said.

“You obviously have to keep the traction, but you want as much momentum as you can without losing that traction.”
