Tom, from Bribbaree, is placed third in this year’s round of the Australian Tractor Pulling Association competition.
He has been competing in the Open Mini Modified Tractor section at events that draw huge crowds – such as the Clipsal 500 in Adelaide, which drew 10,000 spectators.
The events for the 2013-2014 season have required some travelling having been held every couple of weeks throughout southern NSW, Victoria and South Australia since October last year.
This weekend he and his machine - fondly named Tommy’s Toy - are set to take on the best at the Australian championships to be held at a purpose-built tractor pulling facility at Quambatook, Victoria.
