John Deere Earth Mover Action: DVD

Since Caleb is really getting into all the big trucks, diggers, dozers, and other really "awesome" machines (as Caleb says)....I love that John Deere has their own DVD video out!
TM Books & Video releases the all-new John Deere Earth Mover Action rumbling onto DVD April 13, 2010. This 40-minute tribute to big-machines – excavators, front-end loaders, graders, scrapers, and backhoes, includes a fascinating look at John Deere’s newest – the fast, powerful, four-track 764 Dozer.

My son was just thrilled to watch this DVD and he just couldn't get enough of the big machinery moving all that dirt, and snow. Caleb was amazed that the big machines could do what they do (and frankly, I was quite amazed with this DVD, too).

John Deere big machines work hard in interesting places like: a grader plowing snow in the Rockies, excavators digging dirt and loading big articulated dump trucks, dozers climbing hills and pushing dirt, front-end loaders moving big rocks in a quarry, and more! This is a great DVD for those kids that love to see action in large machines! The powerful, big-time earth-mover action that will thrill and delight young and old alike. The viewer will learn interesting facts about these mighty vehicles and play the “Let’s Pretend” game where young viewers imagine being the operator of an earth-moving machine.

Stop-action segments feature die-cast toys and articulated super heroes mining candy at the Big Rock Candy Mountain Quarry. Sing-along to all-new toe tapping tunes by award-winning singer/songwriter James Coffey. Kids will learn, laugh, and want more.

John Deere Earth Mover Action, recommended for ages three and older, is now available for a suggested retail price of $14.95. To order, call toll free 1-800-892-2822 or visit TMBV.com.

My son loves seeing big machinery and vehicles! He was so excited to see the two new videos
released~just today, November 18th! How'd They Build That? is a new DVD series from Marvelous Media.
Big Truck and Fire Truck are great movies to learn about how these great vehicles are made/assembled and where they come from. Navistar's International Truck assembly plant in Springfield Ohio is one of the largest builders of big transport trucks in America. The trucks are shown in the assembly process from the beginning to finish. My son was totally amazed to see all the robots and machinery used to build the trucks. The DVD also shows how these Big Trucks work from a drivers view. Seagrave Fire Apparatus, which is the oldest continuously operating fire truck manufacturer in the US, shows their factory as they build large fire trucks from the very beginning in the How'd They Build That? Fire Truck. Viewers can see how the custom fire truck is designed and built using machinery. The DVD shows the variety of styles of trucks and engines. Showing different models, the DVD explains what purpose the Fire Trucks all serve. Future titles in the How’d They Build That? series will include School Bus, Garbage Truck, Locomotive, Big Earth mover, Concrete Mixer Truck, Military Machines and more.
