What Can I Expect

This junior tractor experience in Wiltshire is just for the kids! Youngsters aged between 13 and 16 will absolutely love going down to the farm to take a tractor or two out for a spin around this farm estate.

The Butler family farms over 500 acres of mainly arable land. Crops include grains such as oats, oil rapeseed and beans.  But that's just part of the business. Farmer John and Farmer Luke teach people how to drive all sorts of agricultural machinery, including the farm's main tractors.

The kids only tractor driving experience at this Wiltshire farm has been a massive hit with children. After all, who wouldn't want to climb onboard a massive tractor and trundle off around the paddocks, stores and fields, finding out what it's like to use one of these amazing beautiful beasts every day?

Let's start with the modern tractor. The best thing about the John Deere is how easy it is to drive. It's child's play. With its distinctive green bodywork and bright yellow wheel hubs, the John Deere is fully automatic, has GPS guided steering and a funky touchscreen main control panel. It's more like a spaceship than a tractor inside the cab!

The bright red CASE tractor is a classic.  It might well have been built before the kids driving it were born, but the teens love this machine. They're great fun to drive and are more involved, as they have a manual gearbox. They're pretty robust, so they can withstand a few gear crunches from over enthusiastic kids!

We are offering experiences to drive either one of the tractors or both. Little farmers will get around 25-minutes at the wheel of each tractor they drive, in which time they'll follow the special kids circuit, which may well include some tricky reversing tasks too. Book a junior tractor experience and get your teens out in the fresh air on this Wiltshire training farm.
