Despite rain threatening to derail plans for the 2025 Tooradin Tractor Pull, and Truck Show over the weekend, organisers were able to put on another great event.
It was an unusually cold and wet February day when the show was held on Saturday February 15.
While numbers were slightly down this year due to the weather, the show still attracted approximately 4900 people, with 108 trucks on show.
Held in the Victorian town of Tooradin, it’s been an annual event since 1998.
The show took place at Rutter Park Reserve on the South Gippsland Highway.
The non-profit event is run by a committee of locals, with all proceeds going back into local clubs, schools and various charities.
As part of the event, a number of truck show awards were revealed on the day. Here’s the full list of winners. A&K Dorling took out Rig of the Show with their 2023 Kenworth T909. And Brown’s Stockfeed in Leongatha taking out Best Fleet, with their fleet of Kenworths.
