Thanks Clive for the lovely video ~ a lot of time and effort went into decorating those colourful tractors and they all looked wonderful. So glad it was a dry night for the parade. Merry Christmas from Northern Ireland xo
I spent the whole video trying to think of a comment along these lines, but this knocks the stuffing out of everything that occurred to me. Hats off to you!
Enjoyed this as always BigClive! Good to see Children taking the wheel it is there may still be Hope : ) A Merry Christmas Clive & Ralph 🌲Cheers from across the pond Aurora Ontario to be exact,
Unfortunately, my town's Christmas parade was ruined by the organizers' insistence that all participants must sign a statement affirming a bunch of religious beliefs of a particular evangelical church. This caused most of the participants to drop out. (It's not a city-sponsored event so the city couldn't do anything about it.)
@@mxslick50 yeah I realise I was a bit grumpy there, I'll be honest I'm not in the best mood and I did allow that to affect my comment. I apologise and admit that wasn't my best comment by a long shot
@@irreverend_ I thank you for your candor and I understand that things can be difficult at times. I recently lost a good friend and it has been rough. I do hope things get better for you as well. Cheers.
@mxslick50 genuinely thanks for your understanding, I've lost a lot of friends over the years but I'm pretty drunk (hence my initial lack of tact, so thank you for calling me on that, I'm not usually an online twat), and my dogs both died this year, had one put down in January which wasn't unexpected, but his son died randomly next to me on Monday and I thought I'd have him for another 3 or 4 years. And yeah I'm grumpy. Other reasons I'll not go into, but losing my dog this week is a reason but no excuse for me being crappy
Merry Christmas to our favorite bear and ALL of the Manx people!!! I Loved my time there and hope to be back again soon. (Tried to make a donation from the US but could not get my card to work...)
Where I live we have something similar but with boats and ships of all sizes. Brightly lit up, music playing, fireworks on barges and the large MC ship that starts out off. It lasts for a long time too. Miles of coastline with people waving and cheering. There's even an award for the best decorated boat.
How fantastic is this ?!?!?!? Thanks Mr BigClive!!! Funny that I believe I saw almost as many young ladies driving those tractors as young men, OUTSTANDING youth in the Isle of Man!!! 🙂 I can remember back in the 70's jumping in the back of an old pickups (couldn't do that now of course) with our church group and going caroling... What great fun!!! (although I don't know how much 'good cheer' we brought as none of us could carry a tune in a bucket ;-) Again, THANK YOU Mr BIGCLIVE!!!!! 🙂
With all the bright, shiny and twinkling LED's going by, I know Big Clive got the "willies". Can't deny it Clive, come on admit it.....or not😉 My towns Christmas parade was last night(Sat), some of the tractors are so big they barely fit on a 4 lane main street w/center turn lane. Nicely done Clive, thanks. Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, ETC.. to all.
The sight of so many LEDs - some even tastefully selected warm white - must have been very pleasing to our beloved Big Bear. A very nice parade indeed, with some spectacular exhibits. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to BigClive, Ralphy, and everybody!
Thanks for this very nice video, Clive! I really do love parades like this, especially this time of year. Here we have a Festival of Lights parade the Saturday after Thanksgiving. These kinds of parades really do put a person in to the festive holiday spirit. Merry Christmas to you Clive!
Very nice to get people out and together , Some tractors had Generators in the rear , do you know if some tractors are running lights off low voltage from the tractors or the ones with a lot of lights needed the generators?
I hit the like button on this video just because of the last paragraph of the description. About a couple decades ago, the movie and music industry caused me to vow to never give them another cent and I haven't.
Clive, you should have prefaced this with, "And now for something completely different!" As a tribute to the Young Farmers, let's breakdown the wiring and circuitry of one of these tractors! I still say Merry Christmas and Cheers! DD
LOL that reminded me of every Santa Claus parade that I've been to over the past two weekends. I live in a rural area where every town has a parade and every parade has tractors and other agricultural equipment all decked out in lights.
This American military veteran would like to say SUPPORT YOUR FARMERS! NO FARMERS, NO FOOD! Curious that entry number 36 had its number on backwards. I think I like those folks. Expecting a full teardown and schematic for at least one of those lighting displays any day now…
Great parade Clive! Some fine decorating work on the tractors too. Looked like the spectators were sure enjoying it. The tractors now sure aren't our Dad's Marsey Farquarsons, are they? 8^) Cheers!
Farmers are some of the hardest working people you'll ever meet, bringing good things to society; unlike politicians who have never done a decent days work in their lives, and only bring negative things to society!!
By looking at the cars in the background: Have you finally given up driving on the wrong side of the road? 😜😁 (parking on the right side) Grate video! Big thanks BigClive
Next video opening: "Let's take a look at an Isle of Man tractor with LED decorations... oh hold on, where's my iSesamo spudger" 😃 Lovely show by the way!

Good to see the people who keep the world going round in a parade. Very cool.
Fun fact: all these LEDs were hand-soldered by Clive
I didn't see any truck nuts on any of those vehicles.
Edit: whoops. I replied to the wrong comment.
I spent the whole video trying to think of a comment along these lines, but this knocks the stuffing out of everything that occurred to me. Hats off to you!
Brilliant comment 😂😂
...in series.

Thanks. Much appreciated.
So many lights! So many 4-wheel drive tractors with cabs! Not an antique in the bunch. Ramsey looks great. Thank you for bringing us along, Clive!
To these young farmers, the 5140 Case IH, and the Ford were the antiques. Still fun to watch!
None of these tractors survived the night as Clive couldn't resist disassembling them
One monent please... reverse engineering is complete!
John Deere lawyers make an appearance.
Don't forget the SCHEMATIC, if you want your schematic, ya have to eat your Brussel sprouts
tear down video to follow 👍🤣
Deere oh Deere, a real Claas show. Massey have taken ages to arrange. But where's the wee grey Fergie?
On vacation in New Holland with Major Fordson.😊
John Brown's tractor lies a rustin' in the ditch.
This is FAR better than Coca Cola trucks! Lovely!
Thank you Clive. Parades are such a basic enjoyable form of celebration. Large or small, they all bring a smile to my face, and hope in my heart.

Clive does charity. I love that, ya big bear. Merry Christmas to you and to all.
I mean, the Isle of Man? Charity? Obviously not everyone there is a tax dodger, but it's not your most populated island either ...

Damn.. that one tractor had some HELLA bright lights
Amazing I’ve never seen something like this .nothing but tracters cheers from the USA
Thats some awesome light show stuff 🙂 good to see they support their farmers at that location 😀 🎄🎁
Браво на фермерите за хубавото шоу.
That's a lot of tractors and more leds than Ihave ever seen in one go, nice video Clive all the best to you and Ralphy !
If you want to see more LEDs in one go, then try Bridgewater Carnival (but it definitely won't beat the tractor count).
support your local farmers
Merry Christmas to our favorite bear and ALL of the Manx people!!! I Loved my time there and hope to be back again soon. (Tried to make a donation from the US but could not get my card to work...)
Thanks Clive, over in NI for Christmas so thought I had missed the tractor run. A great show as always from the young farmers.
I always enjoy seeing those lit up tractors!
Finally! Now is the time for all those normally unused SOS and strobe modes to shine!
I never knew I needed to see a tractor parade...
but I did.
Thanks Clive!
Reposted this on my website with your full description and links. Nice one Clive.
Brilliant! Thanks, Big Man. You can tell the size of the IOM farms from the size of the tractors.

It lasts for a long time too. Miles of coastline with people waving and cheering. There's even an award for the best decorated boat.
You really must come down to Somerset to see Carnival - it's electric lights, music and dancing on another level!
And better than Disney carts.

All the kids get to drive tractors from a young age on farms.
Thank you very much for sharing and I hope you have a wonderful night.
I never watch such videos.
Although, this channel is a special place, which turns things into miracles somehow.

I lived in a town so small that the holiday parade went around the block twice.
In other parts of the world farmers have done protests this way. Never mind that, glad to see a festive and pleasant parade. Thank you for sharing.
He een Nederlander 😂
@RS-Amsterdam Ja ja. 🤣
The sight of so many LEDs - some even tastefully selected warm white - must have been very pleasing to our beloved Big Bear. A very nice parade indeed, with some spectacular exhibits. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to BigClive, Ralphy, and everybody!
I missed our tractor parade because I got lost in the woods.
Tis the season for Fairy lights and tractors. And the odd hunky farm hand. oooh er.
Damn, those farmers are taking Clive's workshops very seriously 🤣😂😂😅 ....... very nice...!!!! Merry Christmas everybody....!!!
Just had our tractor run go past my house yesterday (Leicestershire) 👍🏼
I counted 65 but I had to sneeze part way through so I might be off by 1! LOL!!!
God bless our countries farmers 🙏
It's very cool that you guys honor the people that keep you fed!
Thanks for this very nice video, Clive! I really do love parades like this, especially this time of year. Here we have a Festival of Lights parade the Saturday after Thanksgiving. These kinds of parades really do put a person in to the festive holiday spirit. Merry Christmas to you Clive!

Some from batteries, some from the vehicles power, and some from generators.

Thank you for sharing BC !!!! Warmest from St Helens 😉👌👏👏👏
had a tractor run where i am a few days ago, fantastic to see, uploaded it to YT if anyone wants to see 20 more tractors lit up.
this is what happens when Big Clives lives in your community, everyone is an LED expert😊😊 but seriously, well done, what a fantastic spectacle.
I wonder if Clive did any consulting on the lighting jobs. They were all very eye catching. There's a place in my heart for the Massey Fergusons.
No direct involvement in the lighting.
That's the most American thing I've ever seen... and not in America.
I didn't see any truck nuts on any of those vehicles.
This is also a Dutch tradition
We are doing the same here in Germany.
Here in Australia, we use Kangaroos😉😆
@@snakezdewiggle6084 how do you keep the drop bears from destroying the lights?
Faguar, take note, THIS is how you market
Yes they've lost their minds. I would rather buy a tractor. They are way cooler.
Some mighty fine tractors on display, just hard to check the details with all those lights. 😝
Next week JayzTwoCents will have a tractor to customize.
Well done to all the young farmers
LOL that reminded me of every Santa Claus parade that I've been to over the past two weekends. I live in a rural area where every town has a parade and every parade has tractors and other agricultural equipment all decked out in lights.
I don’t know what they are doing or why, but I approve of Christmas looking tractors
That must have been almost 10% of Clive's entire LED collection!
Good one Clive I kept a lookout for a tractor with 3 rotating legs for a wheel ... no luck 👍
Bless all the Farmers in this world, and that they have a Merry Christmas. Food is life 🙏
Watching all the shops in the background light up as the tractor at 1:00 rolled by was pretty wild. Those lights were intense!
Isle of Man farmers are packing some nice equipment.
In my country we have motorcycle Santa Claus events, but I wouldnt mind using a tractor to attend tractor event, more space for decoration hah :D
The Florida city I lived in did boat parades every year.

Nice to see. Young farmers are a rare thing in the US.
Both Sonoma and Calistoga NorCal wine country) have farm tractor parades. Unfortunately we missed this year’s. Well done, IOM and Clive.
Great parade Clive! Some fine decorating work on the tractors too. Looked like the spectators were sure enjoying it. The tractors now sure aren't our Dad's Marsey Farquarsons, are they? 8^) Cheers!
I live on the street they started the parade from. Certainly kept my cats entertained for an hour.
A terrific holiday tracker parade, thanks Clive for the video, greatly appreciated.
wheeeee! lights and men in hi vis!!! i love all the cheer! ty clive!
th-cam.com/users/shortsf_8dYJB9lns
Thanks Clive.
Good to see this thanks to Clive. The IOM is my second home, during the TT, S100 & Manxgp.
Next up, try the Csatletown bath tub race. It is mad.
man, now i want a tractor,
How many LED's did you count?
One bazillion.
wonderful job on decorating thank you clive!

Yup.
By looking at the cars in the background:
Have you finally given up driving on the wrong side of the road? 😜😁 (parking on the right side)
Grate video! Big thanks BigClive
It’s a one way street…..👍😉🇮🇲
I would so love to live on the Isle Of Man... That just seems my cup of tea... Have to settle for Sydney, Australia...
How did they power then Christmas lights? Tractors use 12 volt so may be they are all 3 volt battery powered lights?
Some form vehicle power, some from batteries and some from a generator.
I needed that! It made me smile, thank you Clive👍
How do they keep the strings of life so neatly spaced out on the panels of their trucks?
I guess the better question is how do they secure the lights to the vehicles in the first place?
I'm not sure how they secured them.
Are there any tractors on The Isle of Man that AREN'T in the parade?
Yes - lots. It's mostly farms here.
Of the 141K acres, 107K are farm. Lots of family farms, the way it's supposed to be.
Next video opening: "Let's take a look at an Isle of Man tractor with LED decorations... oh hold on, where's my iSesamo spudger" 😃
Lovely show by the way!
Enjoy seeing local events from other countries.😁
Did they raid your LED supplies, Clive ?
Great video.
Ahhh good old tractor run on Parliament street... You got to love Scotland!
Or even the Isle of Man.
Christmas parade! Ours has mostly horses if I remember right.
A Police tractor?
Faked up for the tractor run.
The police tractor made me do a double take. 🙂
Like a nowadays heavy horse parade.
My favourites are the big red ones - Massive Ferguson.
Was wondering if they held similar events in pre-mechanization/pre-electicity times.
What a lovely procession! Someone needs to program a sea shanty into the car horn!
Looks like Clive donated all his LEDs and Fairy lights to the farmers 😂
Farmers not blocking roads, without gallows on their tractors. Quite a civilized country!
Looks like you had some great weather for the event.
It happened a day later, as the previous day was at peak storm Darragh.
I didn't see the "one moment please" section where the circuit is then shown and explained :(
It's refreshing to see tractors driving through town and not dumping honey at government buildings.
Thanks :)
The way things are going with this Government there won't be any farmers left to do this next year.
Gotta free up that precious "investment" land for themselves somehow.
The Isle of Man young farmers are too polite - I didn't see a single banner telling Keir Starmer where to get off.
Evening Clive….did we partake a couple in the “Plough” …? 👍😉🇮🇲
No drink until bedtime.
The Isle of Man sure has some fancy farmers.
Support your local farmers boys n girls! Buy direct from them not supermarkets...
I'm really curious as to how they're powering the hub lights.
Battery packs.
