Farmer, YouTuber and TikTok star Joe Seels, is set to drive for Your Harrogate at this year's Knaresborough Tractor Run on Sunday 8th March.
The popular rural content creator, known for sharing honest and entertaining insights into life on the farm, will be behind the wheel of a tractor kindly loaned by Ripon Farm Services, towing the Your Harrogate DJ trailer.
Your Harrogate's Pete Egerton and Joe Seels at the 2025 Knaresborough Tractor Run.
Joe has attended the annual event in the past, but commenting on his role for the 2026 run he said:
"My mate (and fellow YouTuber) Mr B is set to join me in the cab, and it'll be great to drive the trailer around. It'll make for a different dynamic for the video, as I've not done a tractor run like that before. Plus, it'll be fantastic to help raise thousands for Yorkshire Air Ambulance."
Following on from last year's tractor run, when a record 423 machines took part, the committee behind the annual fundraiser requested Your Harrogate to once again host a DJ trailer, arriving several minutes before the main procession in order to drum up support and let people know that the tractors are on their way!
The official route won't be revealed until a few days prior to Sunday 8th March, but the tractors will depart from brown gate at the Great Yorkshire Events Centre around 9AM, heading to Knaresborough and arriving for a lunch break at the Nidderdale Showground in Pateley Bridge for 12PM.
Traffic disruption is minimised by the route utilising private roads where possible and the message from the committee is:
"This has nothing to do with politics and has everything to do with raising monies for a vital service in the Yorkshire Air Ambulance."
"Please show your support by coming out on the day, waving to the tractors as they pass and donating what you can."
For those wishing to take part in the tractor run, online registration is now open, or you can pay on the day from 7AM with the price set at £20 for a tractor and driver, plus £10 for a passenger.

The committee will also be selling limited numbers of pink bobble hats on the day and all funds go to Yorkshire Air Ambulance, who provide rapid response emergency services across the county, often reaching incidents in rural and hard-to-access areas where traditional ambulances may struggle. The charity relies heavily on donations to keep its helicopters flying and its critical care teams operational.
Keep warm with a 2026 Knaresborough Tractor Run hat!
