Don’t miss these demos at this year’s field days

A TRACTOR pull, antique Caterpillar machinery and artist blacksmith demonstrations will wow spectators of all ages at this year’s YP Field Days.

For the first time since 1977, the field days will include a tractor pull, as vintage tractors see how far they can drag a sled.

The further they travel, the heavier the sled becomes.

In major competitions, tractors can feature four V8 engines and produce up to 1000-odd horsepower.

The field days demonstration will have all of the fun without quite so much noise, as tractors from the 1940s to 1970s and their adoring owners take on the challenge.

Mundoora’s Kelvin Stringer has helped YP Field Days demonstrations coordinator Paul Browning to re-establish the event.

Kelvin hopes to create a tractor pull competition at Mundoora in the future, and the field days demonstration will help publicise that event, whilst no doubt proving a hit with attendees.

The tractor pull will run by Arthurton East Road, near Barossa Helicopters’ site, from 1pm daily.

Before and after the tractor pull each day there will be demonstrations by the Antique Caterpillar Machinery Owners Club.

Enthusiasts will drive their vintage Caterpillar machines around the area and shift some dirt, among other manoeuvres, with support from sponsor Hunts Fuel.

These demonstrations will be held in the same area as the tractor pull, near Arthurton East Road, from 10.30am to 11.30am and 2pm to 3pm daily.

Back by popular demand for 2021 is the Artist Blacksmiths Association of South Australia.

You are invited to watch the blacksmiths work, and some of their pieces will also be for sale.

The blacksmith demonstrations and sales will be based on South Hummocks Road, near Paskeville Canteen 1.
