New Holland Tractor Pull National ChampionshipsHighly modified, high-octane, diesel spewing, dirt dispensing, merchants of muscle do battle in the 6th round of the Australian Tractor Pull Championships.

These competition tractors don’t have much resemblance to a normal farm tractor. They use super-charged car engines or even gas turbine engines with thousands of available horsepower - they could probably pull an Air Force Hornet fighter along the track if they had to!

The Tractor Pull display presents an opportunity to design a device that can be used to rate a tractor’s ability to pull or investigate the physics behind the theory.

Thursday times for the 6th round of the Australian Tractor Pull National Championships are:

10.00am - 11.00am

3.45pm - 5.45pm
