The Tractorcade will see old machines complete a lap of the field days site’s main street every day at 3pm.
The rally previously ran in 2012 as part of the 50th anniversary field days and returned in 2015.
The event is run by the Dunmunkle Sumpoilers, Wheatlands Agricultural Machinery Museum and Nhill Vintage Machinery Club.
It will give patrons an insight into the farming machinery of a bygone era.
Spokesman Graham Gellatly said the groups were happy to be involved again.
“It will be similar to what we have done in other years and we hope to have about 20 tractors,” he said.
“I don’t know what era they will be from at this stage, but it will be a good chance for people to get a look at history.”
Mr Gellatly said collectors often took old engines and tractors to the field days for display. “We like doing it and it’s something for people to look at,” he said.
“Lots of people stop to have a talk to us and we can get quite a big crowd. The Tractorcade is a good thing to do and we are glad we’ve been given a chance to do it again.”
The Tractorcade will run daily at 3pm.
