Here’s the test of a real tractor enthusiast – can you identify a tractor by sound alone?
My parents taught me to do this when I was young. I grew up in a house where it’s normal to ask a toddler “What sound does a John Deere make?” right after “What sound does a cow make?”
If you’d like to test your knowledge of tractor sounds, here’s your chance! I put together this little quiz after combing through some home movies my dad made of some tractors he had for sale. You might hear his voice over the sound of the tractor in a few of them.
Make your best guess of the make and model in the comments, and I’ll release the answers Wednesday. You get one point for the correct make, and a bonus point if you get the model right too. (There’s no prize here – just bragging rights).
Tractor number 1:
Tractor number 2:
Tractor number 3:
Tractor number 4:
Tractor number 5:
I’ll be back soon with the answers!
