My dealer found one at another dealer so I decided to get it . Got the 1/16 scale one . Think I might get the 1/32 scale one to go with my 1/32 precision’s

I must admit the new modern models of real tractors don't interest me. They all look like they belong in a "Star Wars" movie.

I like models of the tractors I grew up around and the tractors dad's customers had. I'm in my late 40's and can remember unstyled A and B john deeres raking has as we drove down the road in dad's old blue truck. I also remember watching dad overhaul an Oliver 70 on cutoffs. JD 60's International M's WD-9's and about every color of tractor under the sun.

My collection consists mostly of models from the 30's to the 70's. I posted pictures of my collection and made simiular comments on a farm toy web page. I was told I needed to stop living in the past and collet new models because that's where it's at! The point of collecting is for enjoyment. When I look at a new toy, I see a chunk of plastic. When I look at a Farmall M or an Allis WD-45. It makes me smile.
 
I like the old ones a lot but I also like new tractors . I like a good steam engine and frohlich or Waterloo boy but I also like a 9rx or a new holland row track with wheels on the front and tracks on the back

i have about all the kinze items in 1/16 scale, the grain carts, his tractor and the 3600 swivel planter, i got the stuff when i used to assemble the kinze planters for dealer in my shop. looks like both of us need to do some dusting, i am going to be building some more glass enclosed display units from the barn beams i kept from barn i took down last fall that i spent about everyday in it choring growing up. it just got beyond repair and i ended up with it in the estate. plans are to run beams thru woodmizer saw and make boards from them,will see how that goes.
 
Ya my collection is in terrible condition. I just say they are all chase units 😀. Id like to get another couple glass cases
