        Over the past few weeks AGCO toys have been a popular topic on Toy Tractor Show.com's Toy Talk.  Some collectors are asking why there are not more AGCO toys on the market.  This topic has brought strong debate but when you count up AGCO tractors made by Scale Models and Ertl including AGCO, AGCO-Allis AGCO-Star, Allis-Chalmers, Challenger, Fendt, Massey-Ferguson, Massey-Harris, Minneapolis-Moline, Oliver and White there are more AGCO brand toy tractors on the market than any other.  1/16 is the strongest size for AGCO toys.  1/64 has had pretty fair representation but is not as strong as John Deere and CNH.  One TTS member commented you hardly see 1/64 AGCO toys on displays.  Working with a variety of standard production and custom 1/64 AGCO toys I found you can make some nice farm scenes.  I was able to create classic and modern farm scenes using AGCO toys.  I hope this photo gallery of AGCO toys will help show you can make some interesting scenes on your model farm with AGCO brands.  The most important thing with a display is to make it look like you want it to but using AGCO toys may make your display stand out from the crowd.
