NSW Ambulance paramedics, the Westpac Rescue Helicopter and NSW Police Rescue were called to the rural location at Gresford about 6.45pm on Thursday after reports that a tractor had rolled over a driver.
The emergency crews found the 70-year-old man at the bottom of a steep embankment and spent some time getting him back to the top.
They treated him at the scene, stabilising the man, before the Westpac chopper flew him to John Hunter Hospital in a stable condition for treatment of back injuries.
