Tractor Tom

Tractor Tom is an animated TV program, produced by Contender Entertainment. There are two series of 26 ten minute episodes produced in 2003 and 2004.

The show aired on CITV in the UK

Set on the idyllic Springhill Farm, brave and resourceful Tractor Tom and his human, animal and vehicle friends have fun and adventures at both work and play. Produced in the UK, Tractor Tom is an instantly gettable concept with great storylines, characters, humour and funky music in a familiar yet creative farm setting, straight from children’s imagination.

The second series introduced new voices for the human characters and ones for the vehicles as well.

Characters

Vehicles

Tom A cheerful bright red tractor who is optimistic and always tries to solve his friends' problems. He is also afraid in the dark sometimes.

Buzz A young and inquisitive blue and yellow quadbike who is sometimes said to be "too small". He also liked to get into trouble with Snicker the foal in the first series, and arguably Tom's closest friend.

Wheezy The farm's slow, old, and large yellow combine harvester who enjoyed telling stories in the first series and likes to stay in the barn, which is the "home" of most of the vehicles.

Rev A large purple pick-up truck belonging to Matt the farmhand that often boasts and his least favourite thing is coming second in a race. Not a villain-like character, but sometimes disaggreable. A good friend of Tom's.

Rora Introduced at the beginning of the second series as a hot pink-coloured motorbike and replaced Buzz as Farmer Fi's on-road vehicle. An energetic character who is good friends with Dusty and has a friendly rivalry with Rev.

Dusty Introduced early in the second series as a yellow and orange aeroplane and is not one of the most common characters, but she is energetic and friendly.

Humans

Farmer Fi The sole farmer of Springhill Farm, who wears a pink shirt and hat, and blue trousers with a yellow flower at the bottom, and has blond hair. In the second series the hat was replaced with blue overalls. She only needs one employee, Matt, because she owns a very small farm

Matt Lives in a small silver caravan down the road from the farm, and often helps with the work on the farm. He is rather forgetful and mentally clumsy, especially in the second series. He owns Rev the truck and drives in him everywhere.

Animals

Hens There are three brown hens on Springhill Farm.

Whack One of the two ducks on the farm. Wears an orange collar.

Bach The other duck which wears a blue collar.

Riff The farm's sheepdog who likes to associate with the other animals, and likes rounding them up like sheep.

Purdey Farmer Fi's pet cat who is rather lazy and is a friend of Wheezy's.

Mo The only cow on the farm and hence sometimes gets lonely but otherwise an ordinary cow character.

Winnie A horse who tends to not be very excited, except when it comes to carrots.

Snicker Winnie's foal friend who likes to get into mischief and his favourite food is sugarcubes, but also, like Winnie, loves carrots. Notably one of the few male animals on the farm.

Sheep Eight sheep who like to use strange non-animal objects such as helter-skelters, central heating systems, and baths. They also love to get into mischief and go into Matt's caravan when unwanted.

Mentioned or Guests

Farmer Allsop Runs the neighbouring farm to Farmer Fi's. He is mentioned many times, but made no appearances.

Roly Farmer Fi has borrowed Farmer Allsop's harvester twice when Wheezy wasn't available. He looks exactly like Wheezy but is blue and is much faster. In his first appearance he only appeared harvesting the wheat, but he was revealed as Roly in his second appearance, and was given a voice.

Mr Aziz Only mentioned once when Rev was carrying manure for his roses.

Rory Identical to Rora, but only appeared in the last episode of the first season, when hired by Matt. He is orange.

Wild Ducks Three wild ducks that appeared in the last episode of the second season, when they were migrating and stopped for a rest.

Rabbit It is unknown if the rabbit that appeared in the first season to steal the animal's food is the same one that appeared in the second season, visiting in Wheezy's "quiet place".

Fi's Parents Fi's mother phoned her once, not making an appearance, worrying about Fi's father's sudden illness, which turned out to be not serious. As Fi said, it was "just my mum worrying. You know what she's like."

Jerry Runs the sports centre and talked to Matt on the phone once.
