Blog

Even though February is a short month it sure seems long. It’s been a cold and snowy month, but hopefully warmer weather is finally on its way. My goal is to work harder so I forget about the weather. In my last blog I mentioned that we would start introducing other members of our team. 

Now back to farm toys!

We’ve been busy working on some new items for 2021. First is a new AGCO set. This 1:64th set includes a Massey Ferguson 8280 tractor, 2270XD large square baler, WR9870 SP Windrower and a hay rake. (Stock # 16421) This item will be available at AGCO dealerships later in March.

I’m also working on a 1:64th Allis Chalmers 7045 tractor along with a new 1:64th Co-op Implements Panther II tractor. I’ll provide information on both of these later in the year.

Our Britains division also has some special tractors they’re producing. One in particular is to celebrate their 100th anniversary of farm toys. They are producing a limited edition 1:32nd scale Ford Fordson tractor that replicates the first Britains tractor. (Stock # 43293) Here’s an image of the original toy from 1948. I can’t wait to see the “new/old” version of this.

We’re also happy to announce that we’re working on our first 1:64th Claas item. You should be seeing an announcement shortly. We’re teaming up with the National Farm Toy Museum on this first model. More to come. The NFTM also introduced their next model which is a 1:32nd IH 4786 tractor. We modeled this unit with the later paint scheme that features the red cab and hood sides with the black stripe. Other updates include a new curved exhaust. This item will be available in the summer of 2021. (Stock # 44253OTP)

Stay safe and warmJ

Until next time,
