This animated series for young Kiwis follows plucky Massey Ferguson the tractor, and other farm machine characters on Murray and Heather’s farm. This second episode is set in the height of summer. Murray’s new smoke alarm wakes the machines in the shed, and Rusty the clapped-out old car has to be helped outside by his friends. But when the fire engine is called back for a real fire, we learn that Rusty has a secret. The series was created by broadcaster Jim Mora (Mucking In) and Brent Chambers from Flux Animation; Mora also narrates.
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.– Jim Mora
