Dave Hood created the There Goes a... series to show off the vehicles and jobs children tend to be fascinated with. As the host, he balanced information with slapstick antics, but always respected the people who perform the job as well as the kids watching the video. In There Goes a Tractor, Dave Sidoni takes over as host and he's not nearly as good, too often indulging in a "golly gee" tone of voice that probably won't annoy kids nearly as much as the adults watching with them. In this episode, "Farmer Dave" looks at life on a big, industrial farm, with the focus primarily on the versatile tractor. The range of shapes and sizes of tractors (some have as many as six wheels per axle!) is quite impressive. Dave also takes a look at other types of farm machinery, from milking machines on dairy farms to helicopter crop dusters. He also tours an ice cream factory and examines the cheese-making process, but these are throwaway bits that are not explained very well. However, the heart of There Goes a Tractor is in the big vehicles and machines, and in that it does not disappoint. --Andy Spletzer |

There goes a tractor video |
|
This is a great children's video all about tractors. It is from the "there goes a" series. My son loves it! |

A Clarke Family Favorite |

Not only does this video give the adults who patiently sit through "There goes a..." videos time, and time again, a good-natured and light-hearted break from the too-tight pants, banal humor and pompacity of Dave Hood, is has humor and whimsy your kids will love and you will appreciate. This new Dave is sweet and fun and my sons love him!!! I wish he starred in more of the "There goes a.." videos because my boys think he's funny and I can tolerate him so much more!! So far, we have only seen him in "Tactors" and "Dumptrucks" (which is fantastic as well!!). This video is on heavy rotation at my house, and if you have young fans of heavy equipment like I do, this will become THE favorite!! |

Where is the real Dave??? |
|
My son loves the "There goes a" video series, especially the humor of Dave and sometimes Becky. He was really excited to watch this new video until he realized Dave, the old Dave, had been replaced. What a disappointment. I guess it's the older videos for us. |

Great for my 2.5 year old-annoying for me! |
|
This by far, has been the only video/show my child is interested in. With an innate passion for tractors, my son loves this video which shows implements, dairies, as well as many different tractors. Dave Sidoni is extremely annoying, especially after the 100th time but my son loves him. |

not the best of this popular series |
|
This installment of the popular There Goes A .... series is not as good as others. As a matter of fact, I'd say it is one of the worst, though kids will still enjoy it. The host is Dave Sidoni rather than Dave Hood, and the emphasis is on goofiness rather than on charm or information. While we do see lots of tractors and many attachments are shown (plow, fertilizer, spreader, etc.), including the inside of the cab, these devices are not explained terribly well or examined closely. Similarly, Dave visits a seed store, maintenance garage, milking facility, and ice cream and cheese manufacturers, but nothing is really explained in any depth, as other tapes in the series do. Still, if your child loves tractors, they will not be put off by goofy Dave or a lack of information. They will enjoy this tour of a big farm (not a friendly mom-and-pop farm with animals running around, unfortunately). Dave also rides in a helicopter to fertilize a field. My advice: if your child is primarily interested in tractors, get this video; if you are just starting on this fun series and don't really care where you start, then try There Goes a Firetruck or There Goes a Bulldozer first -- they are funnier and more interesting. |
