Murray is missing his watch and keeps getting up late. Things on the farm arenât running smoothly. Then he loses his wedding ring. Will Massey be able to discover where Murrayâs things are going and put the farm back on track Set on Ferguson farm, the characters in the Massey Ferguson series are all farm machinery, with a core cast of two tractors, a milk tanker, a ute, a mobility scooter and an old Jalopy. The hero of the series is Massey Ferguson, a small tractor with a big knack for resourcefulness, problem-solving and pluck. Massey Fergusons audience is preschool and up to age 6. The 5-minute television episodes entertain whimsically, and will reinforce positive life values being instilled into children by their parents, caregivers and early childhood educators. A rural setting is good for this because the machines need to be resourceful and co-operative.
