Tractor Rides

Climb aboard for a quintessential farm experience across paddocks and hills

About Tractor Rides

Tractor rides are a classic farm experience that appeals to all ages. Whether it's a vintage Ferguson, a modern John Deere, or a farm ute towing a trailer, there's something special about touring a farm from these iconic vehicles. Rides offer unique access to areas difficult to reach on foot while providing insight into how farmers use machinery daily.

What to Expect

Tractor rides vary from short spins around the homestead to extended tours covering the whole property. You might ride in a trailer behind the tractor, in the cab alongside the farmer, or on purpose-built passenger wagons. The journey typically covers different paddocks, viewpoints, and farm features. Farmers often stop to explain what they're seeing, check on animals, or demonstrate equipment. It's bumpy, noisy, and great fun.

What to Bring

Layers (it can be windy in trailers)

Sunglasses and sun protection

Secure hat (wind can blow them off)

Camera with strap

Comfortable seating pad for longer rides

Safety Guidelines

Hold on - farm tracks are bumpy

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe for young children?

Yes, with supervision. Most farms have safe trailer setups with seating. Very young children should sit on adult laps. Ask about specific safety provisions when booking.

Can I drive the tractor?

Some farms offer driving experiences for adults on private land. This is usually a separate, supervised activity rather than part of a standard farm tour.
