The event brings farm enthusiasts and agriculturists to town from all over the country to view and try out the latest and newest in industry machinery.  Exhibitors show off everything from the latest technology to equipment to supplies for everyone in attendance.

The exhibit hours are 9 am to 6 pm each day from February 13- February 16^th.  The admission for the show is free and parking is just $5 at the Kentucky Exposition Center.  Visitors can expect to see over 1.2 million square feet of exhibit space and over 800 agricultural displays throughout the show.

Last year’s show brought in 302,191 people in combined attendance for the National Farm Machinery Show and Championship Tractor Pull.  The Tractor Pull shows for Friday and Saturday night are already sold out, but there are still tickets available for the shows on the 13^th and 14^th, starting at 7:30 PM, and a 1 pm show on Saturday.  Tickets can be purchased at www.ticketmaster.com [4] or at the Freedom Hall box office for a cost of $31 per person.

Come out and watch as power-hungry pulling trucks and tractors battle it out at the Tractor Pull in this driving competition.   Watch as drivers compete for a share of the $200,000 prize money and the chance to be crowned the Champion.   It’s an event where the wait for the men’s restroom is three times as long as the women’s line, you’ll find yourself screaming “FULL PULL” and also an event you’ll be extremely glad you brought your ear plugs along to wear.
