The Adventures of Massey Ferguson - Full Series

Aimed at younger viewers, this animated series follows the escapades of Massey Ferguson the red talking tractor, Gracie the farm bike, Rusty the old car and others. Over 13 five-minute episodes, Massey and his friends deal with heat waves, boat rescues, sheep rustling and  a wedding. Animated in a distinctive style all of its own,  the show was created by broadcaster Jim Mora (Mucking In) and Brent Chambers (from company Flux Animation). Mora said the series aimed "to be true to farming life, while giving urban children an idea of the life that exists outside New Zealand’s cities". Check out the episode guide here. The show was retitled I Love My Tractor in some countries. 

We’ve tried to be true to farming life, while giving urban children an idea of the life that exists outside New Zealand’s cities. We’ve also tried to increase their awareness of our amazing environment and the importance of respecting it.
