Tractor Tom season 1 episode 6, titled "Clean Machine", revolves around Tom and his animal friends who work hard to keep the Happy Valley Farm in tip-top shape. In this episode, the focus is on the cleanliness of the farm and of Tom himself.
Tom starts the day by washing himself down in the field, but he is still dirty and needs a proper wash. Meanwhile, the sheep on the farm are getting ready for the annual Sheep Dog Trials, and they want to look their best. They ask Tom to help them clean their wool and prepare for the competition.
With the help of the sheep, Tom goes to see the farm's new machine - a "Clean Machine". This machine is designed to wash and clean anything that gets dirty on the farm. Tom is excited to try it out and decides to wash himself and his friends using the machine.
The machine is a bit complicated to operate, but Tom thinks he can handle it. He starts by washing the sheep, but accidentally gets too much soap on them, causing them to turn into giant fluffy creatures that can barely move. Tom realizes his mistake and has to come up with a plan to fix the situation.
He manages to figure out how to use the machine properly and uses it to wash himself and all his animal friends, including Fi the dog and Buzz the bee. However, when it comes time to wash his best friend Matt the farmer, Tom suddenly becomes hesitant. He feels that Matt won't like being washed by a machine, as it might make him feel like he's not doing his job properly.
Tom decides to wash Matt the old-fashioned way, with soap and water, just like they used to do before the machine came along. This makes Matt very happy, and he thanks Tom for caring about him. Tom learns that sometimes the tried and true methods are still the best, and that there are some things that a machine can't replace.
Overall, "Clean Machine" is a fun and educational episode that teaches kids about the importance of cleanliness and the value of hard work. It also shows that sometimes the simplest and most traditional methods are the most effective. With its vibrant animation, catchy songs, and loveable characters, Tractor Tom is sure to be a hit with young viewers.
