Ep 10. The Big Jump

Tractor Tom season 1 episode 10, "The Big Jump," follows Tom and his friends as they gear up for the annual county show. In this episode, Tractor Tom and his best friend, Buzz, are practicing for the big tractor jump competition that takes place at the show. The winner of the competition receives a shiny new trophy and bragging rights for the entire year.

Tom and Buzz are both determined to win the competition, but they soon realize that the jump is a lot bigger than it looks. They try practicing on a smaller ramp first, but it doesn't prepare them for the height and distance they will need to jump at the show. Tom is confident that he can do it, but Buzz is starting to feel nervous.

Meanwhile, Fi, the farmer's daughter, is preparing her own exhibit for the show. She has been growing a giant pumpkin for the pumpkin contest, but she accidentally drops it and breaks it. She is devastated, but her dad helps her come up with a new idea. He suggests that she enter her homemade jam instead, and Fi decides to give it a try.

As the day of the show approaches, Tom and Buzz continue to practice, but they are still having trouble making the big jump. Buzz decides to take a break and helps Fi with her exhibit. He tastes her homemade jam and is surprised by how delicious it is. He then realizes that he can use the jam to help Tom make the jump.

On the day of the show, Tom and Buzz are ready to compete. As they approach the jump, Tom starts to get nervous, but Buzz gives him a jar of Fi's homemade jam for good luck. Tom takes a deep breath and revs up his engine. He zooms down the ramp and takes off into the air. It looks like he might not make it, but then he remembers the jam. He squeezes it out onto the wheels, and it acts as a kind of lubricant, helping him glide through the air and land smoothly on the other side.

The judges are impressed with Tom's jump, and he wins the competition. He is ecstatic and thanks Buzz and Fi for their help. Fi is also thrilled when she wins the pumpkin contest with her homemade jam. The three friends celebrate together, enjoying the sights and sounds of the county show.

Overall, "The Big Jump" is an exciting and heartwarming episode of Tractor Tom. It teaches kids about the importance of perseverance and teamwork, and it encourages them to never give up on their dreams. The show is also great for teaching kids about farm life and the different types of machinery and equipment used on farms.
