The fields are plowed and the seeds are up and growing. That means summer is here and it is time to turn our interest the soil in the field to dirt on the track at the county fair. Each summer the Toy Tractor Times looks forward to featuring the muscle tractors that have be recreated as 1/16 and 1/64 pullers.

These years feature pulling tractor is Robbie Crutchfield’s Unlimited Super Stock Massey Ferguson pulling tractor called “Brutal Force”. This modified 8280 is truly the ultimate Massey Fergursun on the tracks. We also have news from Gottman Toys on their future plans for puller models which includes a “Big Blue” model. In addition to 1/16 pullers there are some interesting stories on 1/64 pulling tractors and a supped up lawn and garden puller.

With warm weather upon us it also means it is time for the summer toy surprises from AGCO, CaseIH, New Holland and John Deere. Ertl and SpecCast had several new items on display at the Summer Toy Show in Dyersville, IA. Ertl’s big news was the Fall Farm Show Edition Toys and new 1/16 Steigers. SpecCast has several new items on the way in 1/64 and 1/16. Universal Hobbies also announced 17 new items this month including new 1/32 AGCO high horse power tractors.

We hope that you enjoy this fair themed edition f the Toy Tractor Times.

Until Next Times…….
