The big tractor in Carnamah is officially opening at 11am on Saturday 5th October, followed by the North Midlands Agricultural Society's Country Carnival. We're assisting in collecting the final required donations. If you can assist, please send us a message or head to www.carnamah.com.au/donate

Get ready for a historic moment in engineering! The World’s Biggest Tractor is taking shape and our team is so proud to showcase this engineering marvel to the world.

Collaborating with the Vintage Tractor and Machinery Association of WA, this colossal project is a tribute to the legendary Chamberlain 40K and a celebration of WA’s rich agricultural heritage.

Once complete, this marvel will be transported 180km to Carnamah, where our expert construction team will assemble it as a major tourist attraction in the Mid-West.

Stay tuned as we enter the final stages – painting and transport.

Got a big project coming up? Brief us. We’d love to help: https://bit.ly/3SI8cpV
