Farm kids who grew up on one buy the Tractor Accent weathervane for the roof of whatever they’ve got now. It’s a tractor in silhouette set above a directional arrow, with W, S, N and E marked on the points. The 30 inch size suits a barn, an equipment shed or a house, and it’s a frequent retirement gift for someone leaving a farm.

What the Tractor Accent weathervane is cast from

Every piece of it is cast from recycled aluminum, so it will not rust. That’s the right call for a figure that sits above a barn roof nobody climbs. An all-weather protective coating goes over the casting, and the piece carries a five-year warranty.

Black for a reason

Black is the only finish, and a tractor is a figure that reads by outline. The wheel shapes are what make it a tractor from a distance, and a dark silhouette keeps that profile clear against the sky. A lighter color would soften the edges and lose it.

Barn, shed or house

The 30 inch size is proportioned for a main roof or a large outbuilding. On an equipment shed it looks like it came with the building, and on a barn it’s the figure most people expect to see. On a house it works over the garage or on a gable the road can see. Because the arrow points into the wind, the Tractor Accent weathervane also earns its keep on haying days.

Nothing on the Tractor Accent weathervane is lettered, so order it when you’re ready. The Horse, the Rooster and the Antique Auto are on our weathervanes page. If the farm needs its name or number at the road, the lawn address plaques are cast the same way.
