Customer Reviews:
This one's a keeper!
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...

great video for kids and adults
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

Am I the only one?
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.

Deere Classic Pays Out $5.29M To QC Charities
07.02.12 @ 1:39 pm | No Comments

Mower

John Deere Classic board members distributed a record $5.29 million Monday to charities throughout and beyond the Quad-Cities.

That record total exceeded last year’s golf tourney disbursement by $950,000 and included an

8 percent supplemental bonus to the PGA Tour event’s popular Birdies for Charity program.

 “Try to make 8 percent on your money anywhere right now,” JDC tournament director Clair Peterson said. “Good luck.”

The bonus money comes from profits from a July golf tournament blessed by perfect weather and boosted by top-ranked American golfer Steve Stricker’s successful bid for a record third straight JDC title.

Kristy Ketcham Jackson, director of the JDC’s 18-year-old Birdies for Charity program, said 494 charitable organizations throughout the region collected some $4.5 million in donor pledges, thanks to a  record 2,124 birdies the field of pros made over five days at TPC Deere Run in Silvis.

That’s an increase of $600,000 over Birdies for Charity pledges in 2010.
