Country songs about tractors

It’s pathetic how you all assume I’m just here to troll you. I am not.

Out there in the vast expanse of the American musical landscape, there exists what I consider a subgenre of country music—one that focuses almost exclusively on tractors. To kick things off, I'll share a track that isn't strictly about tractors, but served as my gateway into this magical world of tractor-centric melodies.

So, let’s get into it.

Right away, the line "I'd be on my tractor, she'd be on my mind" jumps out at you. Sure, it mentions a truck too, but don't you dare call it a "truck" in the wrong context; it's an essential distinction.

The next song is by a different artist, and quite frankly, I can't stop playing it. Again, you might think I'm joking, but I'm dead serious.

Lyrics like "Or we can take another ride on my big green tractor
Life is a highway" or "We can go to town, but baby if you'd rather, I'll take you for a ride on my big green tractor" are simply breathtaking in their beauty.

Let's pivot back to Rodney, because he’s clearly got the winning hand here. He doesn't just have a tractor; he has a whole crew of friends with tractors.

Then you have lyrical gems like "I'll live out in the country happily ever after
I got everything I need 'cause I got friends with tractors
Yee haw." Is anyone actually immune to those lines? No one. I said no one.

Finally, we have Kenny Chesney with his undeniable hit, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWu4a...eature=related , though I haven't quite decided on that one yet. Why? Because "Big Green Tractor" is stuck on permanent repeat. And I am not kidding.

Furthermore, the comment sections are absolute battlegrounds where people argue over which tractor reigns supreme. The intensity is unreal.

"If it ain't red, keep it in the shed!" That's the kind of mantra that pulls you out of a depression, colors your world with undiscovered hues, and sends your adrenaline through the roof.

Do you have a favorite tractor anthem, and were you even aware that a genre dedicated to tractors actually exists?

did you grab that from what.cd 🤣 because I saw someone posting the exact same stuff in another thread recently 😁

but hey, She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy is impossible to find 🙏 🙏 🙏

But honestly, can anyone even compete with
She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy? 🙏 🙏 🙏

No, a buddy of mine dropped it in that "30 days of music" thread under the song that makes you laugh, "Rodney Atkins - It's America." After digging a little deeper, we found ourselves looking at some farmer's daughter, and suddenly it was a total rabbit hole where every single song was about a tractor. 😁

Take, for example, this comment from a young woman out in rural America regarding the song "Big Green Tractor."

I seriously think this is one of the most romantic songs ever... lol

I mean, seriously, why would anyone even assume that? 🤷

Do you guys have a favorite song about tractors, and did you even realize there's an entire musical genre dedicated to them?

Of course I do. 🙏 The local band - Two Times Two. 🙏

Out on the tractor since the crack of dawn,
today I really had to hold it together,
don't even have enough for a quick snack,
just want to sit down and grab some grain.

You're going up and down constantly,
or maybe a bit more, I can't quite tell,
my head is spinning in circles,
I really ought to get some sleep.

Order two times two at the bar,
two times two, because I'm thirsty as hell.

The Sun is beating down hard, I swear,
like it's trying to knock me dead,
I think I'll just finish this route,
then I'll finally head home to bed.

Don't ask me what I'm drinking,
just bring me a liter of wine,
it's not like I'm trying to drop dead,
I won't be acting like a stubborn mule.

Order two times two at the bar,
two times two, because I'm thirsty as hell.

Now that the work is finally done,
the Sun is starting to lose its heat,
I'm heading back toward the house,
that's plenty for one day.

I parked the tractor right where they said,
over by the sign for the local diner,
I'll wash the dust off my throat,
there's a whole line of tractors out there.

I bet the ladies aren't waiting with wine on the table,
but they'll pour us a drink, we're parched.

It isn't exactly "romantic," mind you—these guys are basically punks, so the theme is actually pretty socially relevant. Using the tractor as a central motif, the songwriter paints this gritty picture of a farmer's hard life and his descent into alcohol as his only escape. 😢 Honestly, it's enough to move you to tears; the poetic imagery is just that heavy and tragic. 🙂

Since we’re already talking about all those amazing homemakers out there, we can't just leave out this absolute classic

Alright then, I guess we all know which tractor brand is the absolute favorite.

I still can't get enough of the Big Green Tractor. Isn't there just something hypnotic about that song? 😁

The tractor pulling subgenre has always had a following right here in the States.

Jesus 🙏 🙏 🙏

Oh sure, FDNY, the absolute best...😍

This thread basically marks the beginning of a whole new geological era for this music subforum. I’m putting my hand on my heart here—total transparency, like a true die-hard fan—and honestly, I might even shed a tear. 😳

It’s honestly pathetic how nobody seems to care about agricultural love songs anymore. 😢

Everything’s gone full hipster indie bullshit lately; nobody cares about actual quality anymore.

@Nex you killed it, those lyrics are incredible. That one track from Nashville actually made me fall in love with the countryside—if you're heading out to the hills, that's the only thing worth playing. 👍

And here’s a drummer who clearly doesn't give a damn about a cold beer.

Traktoroth are those American agricultural metal bands... I don't know, they just don't really do it for me.

The Golden Age of Metalium🙏

Honestly, I’m way more into the art concept than how it actually sounds. It’s got this awesome, campy trash vibe to it...

I mean, just look at the album title alone: Agriculture Plus. Plus some of those track names? Pure gold. 😬 🙏

Space Tractor is basically this massive tribute to an underrated piece of machinery; it’s got this hymn-like vibe—complete with the actual sounds of a tractor cranking up and shutting down—that gives the whole thing a cosmic, mysterious edge.
