How to Choose or Create the Best Name for Your Tractor

Deciding on a nickname for your tractor should be fun!

If you didn’t quite find the right name and want to create one or you’re having trouble deciding, here are some helpful tips.

• Take a vote. Make a list of the names that stand out to you while looking through the list. Then let friends or family members who are familiar with your tractor cast votes to help you choose one.
• Make a list of descriptive words. Write down as many words as you can think of that describe your tractor. Mix and match to create the perfect name like “Red Rumbler” or “Smoky Mammoth.”
• Mix and match syllables. You may want to take farming words and add fun syllables to create names like “Total Wheat-splotion” or “Plow-tastic.”
• Use your name in the title. A simple way to come up with a nickname is to use your first name, plus an adjective, followed by the word ‘tractor’. An example might be “Ben’s Trusty Tractor” or “Toby’s Old-Fashioned Harvester.”
