We bought this DVD for my not-quite 2-year-old son, Caleb, who is enamoured with tractors. He LOVES it! He has watched it almost daily since we got it a few months ago, and it often holds him mesmerized for the whole 40 minutes (a marvel for a toddler). You don't have to be a toddler to enjoy it, though...my husband and I found it quite entertaining (for the first dozen or so times we saw it, anyway), and Caleb's grandpa was also impressed.

The video is very well done, with great footage of a wide variety of new and vintage John Deere tractors and implements. Learn about a variety of historic "Johnny Popper" 2-cylinder tractors (probably our favorite part of the video). Also see the newest 4-wheel drive BIG tractors. John Deere construction equipment is also shown, with a detailed segment on excavators (a.k.a. "diggers"). Also includes the "Buck" (John Deere ATV) and "Gator" (basically a golf cart for the farm). Interspersed throughout the video are catchy tunes with which you will find yourself singing along, as well as humorous clips that run in reverse...see a combine spit the harvest back out, a tractor "un-plow" a field, and more.

This video is sure to please your wheel-loving youngster, and you may be pleasantly surprised to find yourself learning more about tractors than you had bargained for...and having fun while you're at it! I'd give this video more than 5 stars if I could...it truly is that good.

My 14 month old little boy LOVES this video. He runs and gets his John Deere toys when watching. One of his first words was 'tactor', and he can spot one from the car. The video has great songs and isn't at all annoying to adults. I highly recommend it

My sons both love, love, love this video, and I agree that it is so much fun for little ones, but am I the only mom who thinks that the insulting comments that the little boy in the video gives to "Otto" are inappropriate for little kids' videos? One example: The boy declares, in a sharp and condescending tone, to one of the tractors named Otto: "Can't you do anything right???" Why in the world did they have to put that in this perfectly fun video? I never leave comments, but I thought other moms might want to know that this is in the video so that they can be an informed purchaser.

We bought this for my son's 2nd birthday and have been watching it nonstop for a year and a half now. He absolutely loves it. And he repeats parts of the narrative as he plays with his tractors which is quite amusing. I just ordered parts 2 and 3 for Christmas, although I am not sure I can hold out that long!

This DVD came in a batch that I bought, as an extra. I really thought 'what am I going to do with a tractor video' so I was going to try to sell it. My husband suggested that I let my 2 year old son watch it before we get rid of it. Well, that was it, he wanted to watch it over and over and over.....(so did my husband - who thanks God, cause this is one of the few videos that he doesn't mind watching 5 times in a row). I don't think my son is old enough to understand what they are talking about on the video, so I guess it's all the tractors and stuff that interest him. It has catchy toons, a bunch of tractors running up and down farmsv, and tells the history of the John Deere tractors - I don't see the hype (but I'm a city girl so what do I know about tractors). The important thing is that my son really loves this video and when he is driving me absolutely crazy I ask if he would like to see the John Deere video, then I start singing 'John Deere, make America proud, John Deere ....." It works EVERY time. If your child loves cars and trains GET THIS (trust me).

My son, age 4, has loved this video since he got it as a gift two years ago. Now my 21 month old son is in love with it, too. He will come and drag us to the tv to turn on the "tractor." We can't get him to sit still for anything else (except "All About john Deere Part 2")! I highly recommend this DVD to anyone with kids who are interested in heavy machinery. We just ordered Part 3 and can't wait for it to arrive.

All About John Deere For Kids: Part 1 is the first of an all live-action DVD series filled with intrinsically fascinating information about John Deere farm equipment. Featuring catchy ditties and award-winning music by James Coffey, All About John Deere For Kids describes the diverse uses of farm equipment, showcases various models of tractors from vintage to modern, and even features an eye-opening comparison of toy tractors to real ones - details toys look amazingly similar to the real thing when seen close up! Though the fun and laughs are meant especially for young people, All About John Deere For Kids is sure to appeal to grown up tractor enthusiasts as well! 40 minutes, color.

My 18 month old LOVES anything with wheels or makes loud noise. After my husband purchased a John Deere tractor to cut our lawn my son became sooo obsessed with tractors. So I purchased this DVD and he would watch it all day if we let him. He wakes up saying, "brrrmmm, brrrmmm..." asking to watch it. It's a sweet video aimed at children and is quite enjoyable. Wonderful for any brrmmm brrrmmm obsessed little ones!

I gave this DVD to my 17 month old grandson for Christmas. He and his dad love John Deere tractors. When the DVD started he immediately ran and got his toy John Deere tractor to play with while he watched. He's a little young right now for it to hold his attention for the entire DVD. He left to play with other Christmas toys and came back several times. However, his dad and grandfather watched the whole thing and absolutely loved it. I even learned why the tractor I drove as a kid on a farm in Missouri was called a "Johnny Popper." It presents easy to understand information on John Deere and shows great tractors. I plan to purchase more of the series for them.

My son is almost 5 and has been an avid John Deere fan since he was 2. Everything is about John Deere and this video drives that home. He loves it and requests to watch it all of the time. We love that it has fun little facts about John Deere and the history of it. We will continue to buy this series for him in hopes that all of them are just as good if not better than this one!
