A 78-year-old man has been taken to Whakatane Hospital with minor injuries after being pinned under a tractor on the Whakatane Golf Course.
Emergency services were called to the 13th hole around 3pm after reports of a man trapped under a tractor.
Fire north communications shift manager Jaron Phillips said police, fire and ambulance were at the scene.
The patient was talking while the mower was hoisted off him.
