Since the Amazon page doesn't give much information about this particular Mighty Machines DVD, I figured that I'd post the blurb that's on the back of its box:

"Meet Buzz, Stretch, and Ranger! These Tremendous Tools have one thing in common - they know how to work hard and get the job done!

There's so much work to be done on the farm - you need a barnyard brigade! Allis Tractor, Polly the Plow and Haybine team up to make hay, while Stretch works his magic to make the hay dry.

Meanwhile, Mighty Machines are buzzing around the sawmill where Jaws the front-end loader shows trees turned into lumber. Jaws may do the heavy lifting, but he gets by with a little help from his friends, Buzz, Scoop, and Big Red.

Mighty Machines are also needed deep underground, where they tunnel into a salt mine! Ranger, Driller and Crusher not only find the salt, they scoop it up and carry it back to the surface. Dig it!"

These Mighty Machines DVDs are magic to 2 year old boys (not to mention their 5 year old sisters). I've watched my nephew watch them daily, and with each viewing he pays more and more attention to each one. I can see him processing and learning what he sees. At first he just watched the DVDs raptly; now he starts calling out the names of the different machines and telling me what they are doing. He's so serious when he tells me what each machine does - so cute! And I have to say, I've actually learned some things too. Personally, I'd rather he be parked in front of one of these DVDs than a lot of the others that are out there supposedly aimed at children, because he takes what he learns and applies it to the machines he sees in real life. He doesn't just see a machine, he knows what it does and where it goes. That may not seem like much, but that interest in objects carries over into other things in his life, which is a very good thing.

I purchased this for my grandson's 2nd birthday. Both he and his 4 year old sister love this series - Mighty Machines. There is always one of them in their car, and near all the DVD players around the house. I would say that my grandson has watched one of the Mighty Machine DVD's at least once a day since his October birthday and it is now April! Very educational as well, without them even realizing it. They do a good job of breaking up the video so that the children do not become bored. It is something they could walk away from and then come back and not have to worry about missing a story line.

We purchased this Mighty Machine dvd and also have 3 others. Our two year old son likes them all. Whoever came up with the idea of filming a construction site or farming operation and then doing some silly voice overs was pretty smart. If your child is into machinery, these movies will be a hit. I've learned some new things about the equipment and I feel better about having my child watching these movies than most animation. It's also fun to be driving down the road and your child points out a grapple and then tells you what it's used for.

My three year old son loves this series. I like it because it is educational and he loves the tractors and other equipment. He watches this more than any other DVD we have. 5 Stars!!!

My 4 y/o son just loves this DVD. For and child that enjoys watching big machines in person or on tv, this is a must.

MY BOY LOVES ALL HIS MIGHYT MACHINES DVD

Well, according to my son anyway. I tried other brands but he just doesn't get into them if they don't have the Mighty Machine theme song.

Excellent product - What a fun experience for my girlfriends son, Kole - he is mesmerized with "BIG TRUCKS" and the videos are amazing.

Our 18 month old son loves the Mighty Machine series of videos! We own six of them, some are better than others, but all of them keep him entertained.

We received this DVD so quickly after ordering it, my son was able to start watching within a few days of ordering it. I highly recommend this product and company!
