Talking Points

• Tractors are big machines that help farmers with their work. They have big wheels and can drive on farms.
• There are different types of tractors, like ones with big tires for plowing fields and ones with a bucket for digging dirt.
• Tractors can be different colors like red, green, or blue. What color do you like?
• Tractors make loud noises like "vroom vroom" or "beep beep" when they drive around.
• Farmers use tractors to plant seeds, harvest crops, and carry heavy things. Tractors are very helpful!
