On a small farm near the New Zealand town of Kumara Cove lives a little red tractor called Massey Ferguson. He may only be a small tractor, but he's big on resourcefulness, problem solving and pluck.

This gentle ramble through rural New Zealand countryside centres around Ferguson Farm, which is home to Massey and a fun loving family of vehicles which includes Beaut the Ute, Max Tractor, Gracie the 4WD farm bike and Mrs Milk (the milk tanker of course!).

The Adventures of Massey Ferguson is a ground-breaking 26 x 5min episode television series created in full 3D and animated entirely in-house at Flux Animation Studio.

The series, with its distinctive and unique "illustrated cardboard" look, was a ratings hit on New Zealand television and has gone on to screen in a number of countries including the US.

The show was designed to provide pre-school children with an idea of the life that exists outside of New Zealand's cities, while increasing their appreciation and respect for this amazing countryside.
