A delicate rescue operation was under way at the Mt Duneed property on Tuesday to free the man from the farm machinery.
Emergency services found the man trapped by his legs after the alarm was raised about 6.45pm.
The man, aged in his 60s, was in a stable condition, an Ambulance Victoria spokeswoman said.
"We received a call for a man trapped by his legs under machinery," she said.
An air ambulance was en route to the Horseshoe Bend Road property, where six CFA crews, State Emergency Services crews and police were working to free the injured man, on Tuesday night.
It was a busy night for the region's emergency services, who were also called to a paragliding accident at Bells Beach.
The paraglider, aged in his 50s, reportedly fell about 10 metres and landed hard on his back.
The man was treated by paramedics at the scene for chest and rib pain before being taken to The Alfred hospital.
