About the experience

Product ID: 17219

Head down to the farm for an unforgettable tractor driving experience in Dumfries! In the heart of southern Scotland lies the 600-acre Kirkwood Estate, a busy working beef and sheep farm that’s been home to six generations of the Steel family since 1865. Now, this traditional farm has diversified to offer visitors the chance to get behind the wheel of real working tractors — both old and new. You will start by taking control of the modern farm tractor, the true workhorse of the operation. Surprisingly powerful and agile, it’s a thrill to drive — especially when you’re out in the fields tackling real farming tasks like lifting hay bales, moving feed, or reversing with precision. And if the ground’s a bit boggy (this is Scotland, after all), it only adds to the fun! For an extra treat, you will also drive in a vintage Massey Ferguson from the 1960s — a beautifully restored classic that changed farming forever. Switching between the modern machine and its historic counterpart gives you a real sense of how far technology has come, and just how much skill goes into handling both. By the end of your session, you’ll have a whole new appreciation for the life of a farmer — and plenty of muddy memories to take home from your tractor driving adventure in Dumfries.

Had a fantastic tractor experience. Such good fun. Was on my bucket list. A very big thanks to Luke, instructor. Very kind, patient, great instructions. Well worth a visit. Highly recommended.

Reviewed by: Tracy

Real Farm is such a beautiful, peaceful place and the perfect location to drive a tractor. Luke was the perfect teacher, clear and patient. The time went so quickly but I loved every minute driving around in the Landini, moving tyres and pulling the trailer. I even got to sit on an old Massey. Apparently at the end of my driving I was very giddy and had the biggest smile This was one of the best birthday presents and I would recommend Real Farm tractor experiences to everyone Thank you Luke and Real Farm x

There is a great team at Real Farm so it was easy to book up and all questions were answered. I was pretty nervous when I arrived for my tractor driving experience but as soon as I met Luke my nerves disappeared. Luke made sure I felt confident at all times and I had the best fun experiencing how a tractor works and what it can do. I cant recommend this experience enough.

We got this for our sons birthday and he has told us several times since that this is the best present he has ever had We had a friendly greeting and the instructor, Nick, couldnt have been more patient with our boy. We had one ecstatic child and would certainly recommend this experience. We will return again and hopefully try out the quad experience as well.

I had THE best time on my tractor experience. I had the most patient, funny and encouraging instructor who really made the day special. I would highly recommend this to anyone who has not been able to pass a tractor without thinking, I wish....
