In this new Channel 5 series, Tractors: Big, Bigger, Biggest, the viewer will be taken on a tour of the biggest, fastest and most powerful tractors on the planet.
From vintage restorations to cutting edge machines, the show covers the beauty of Britain to the heat of Florida and the snows of Alaska to really put the tractors to the test.
It shows all the different tractors there are for every occasion needed, from land work to working on snow and even in the sea.
The series will have three episodes, with the first on Friday May 20 at 9pm.
LARGEST TRACTOR EVER MADE
Big Bud is the biggest tractor ever built and it is in Montana, United States. It is longer than a bus and five times as heavy. Its eight massive tyres tower over an ordinary man. It is 45 years old and allegedly to date, no one has built a tractor bigger than Big Bud.
MOST EXPENSIVE TRACTOR
The John Deere 9RX costs 500,000 and is a self driving tractor with pinpoint precision. The show covers a family in Cambridgeshire who have purchased this sci-fi farm tractor as they discuss how it could play a vital part in the future of farming.
WORLDS FASTEST TRACTOR
In one part of the show, we meet the engineers in Staffordshire behind the JCB Fastrac 2 which has clocked up an incredible 150mph. The episode also shows the tractor in action and discusses with the engineers the process of inventing the tractor.
DEEP WATER TRACTOR
In Burnham on Sea, the RNLI has developed the Talus M8 specifically so that it can drive into the sea and battle against all sea conditions, and launch their lifeboats. The episode shows it in action against the elements on a training mission.
EIGHT WHEEL TRACTOR
In Manitoba, Canada there is a first in the history of tractors. Big Roy is a huge eight wheel drive tractor that was built in 1977. It is now in a museum, but for the first time in its history, it is heading out into the snow for a snowy test drive.
