Synopsis

The Little Red Tractor lives on Gosling Farm with a young farmer called Stan. The farm is a modest size, but full of rural charm. The local farming community is made up of colourful characters including larger, more powerful machines than Little Red Tractor, but our hero relies on his wit and determination to compete in the everyday challenges they face.

Despite apparent similarities to Tractor Tom, Little Red Tractor has a completely different style, with more realistic story-lines, a larger human cast, and no surreal livestock behaviour.

In total, the original series sold over 300,000 copies.

However, the television rights were sold to Keith Littler's Little Entertainment Group because Peter Tye, the director/writer of the series, preferred their expertise in stop frame animation and empathy with the original.
