Really great dynamic and colour - congratulations!

great recording. thank you for sharing the story behind the tractor too. i wonder what people would think this sounds like if it wasn't stated...really unique the more you listen.

Cannot believe I've just listend to 3 min of tractor... even harder to believe I'm going to say "awesome track"—but yeah. Wow. What an atmosphere you created here!

very nice how it struggles to start up and then makes the rhythm, cool

lovely sound; I used  tractor sample on this tune - http://snd.sc/PgJQQU I love the sound of a stuttering tractor.

A field recording of a vintage John Deere tractor from the 1930s. The recording consists of the tractor starting up, idling and then powering down. Recorded from a few different perspectives and presented as one mix of these various recordings. 

The tractor was purchased by a friend's great-grandfather in the 1950's and has been part of the family ever since; it now belongs to her father.


John Deere Tractor ca. 1938
