Tractor Pulling Emley Moor 2025 | R & J PA Hire Trackside PA
There’s nothing quite like the sound of horsepower echoing across the Yorkshire countryside. This September, the Tractor Pulling event at Bunkers Hill, Emley Moor once again brought together competitors, spectators, and volunteers for an unforgettable weekend of action. With three days scheduled from Friday through Sunday, the event promised big engines, big crowds, and plenty of excitement.
At R & J PA Hire, we were proud to be trackside all weekend, providing the essential public address (PA) systems and two-way radios that kept the event running smoothly.
Supporting the Tractor Pulling Event
Our team supplied and installed the trackside PA equipment to ensure commentary, announcements, and safety information could be heard clearly by both spectators and competitors. In a sport where timing, communication, and coordination are key, reliable sound coverage is vital.
We also provided a full fleet of two-way radios to connect marshals, organisers, and safety staff across the site. Radios are particularly crucial at large outdoor events, where quick decision-making and clear updates can make all the difference when managing crowds, vehicles, and unpredictable conditions.

Battling Against the Weather
While the engines roared on Friday and again on Sunday, Saturday was unfortunately a complete washout. Heavy, persistent rain set in from early morning and continued all day, making it impossible for the tractors to compete safely. Despite the cancellation of Saturday’s programme, the organisers, teams, and spectators kept their spirits high – a true reflection of the determination that makes tractor pulling such a unique sport.
By Sunday, conditions had improved enough for the event to resume. Fans were treated to the sight and sound of mighty machines pulling heavy sleds down the track, showcasing both power and endurance.

Learn More About Tractor Pulling
For anyone new to the sport, tractor pulling is one of the most powerful and exciting motorsport disciplines in the UK. Competitors modify tractors to pull weighted sleds along a track, with the aim of pulling the furthest distance. It’s a true test of engineering, driving skill, and raw horsepower.
If you’d like to explore the sport further, we recommend visiting the UK Tractor Pulling Association (BTPA), which is the governing body for tractor pulling across the country. Their site features upcoming fixtures, results, and more details about how the competitions are run.
Looking Ahead
Despite the weather setback, the Tractor Pulling event at Bunkers Hill, Emley Moor was a great success overall. The atmosphere remained electric, and once the rain cleared, the tractors gave the crowd everything they came to see.
We’d like to thank the organisers, volunteers, and everyone who attended for their resilience and good humour throughout the weekend. R & J PA Hire is proud to support events like this and looks forward to being back at tractor pulls, agricultural shows, and motorsport events throughout Yorkshire in 2025 and beyond.
