I will have to get that one for sure . When is it to be
released

A 40 foot header @ 1/16th would be a 30 inch wide model-- BIG. Any idea how much?
 

[SVcummins]

I have a 1/16 s670 plastic and it is huge I?ll tell you that
 

[rrlund]

Wow. My shelves aren't big enough for that. I'll have to be happy with my 12A by Carter I guess. lol
 

[gtractorfan]

I looked it up-- $799.99. (serious collectors only, can you imagine letting your grandkids play with it?)
 

[SVcummins]

A 12a Carter is still a pretty good piece
 

[SVcummins]

Guess I better start saving 50$ a month so I can buy two of em I guess . Wish I had bought two 9620rx while I had the chance they doubled in value after they stopped making then

Ya,I've got the Tru Scale version too. I think it's in one of those pictures somewhere if you have a magnifying glass to find it.




 

[SVcummins]

you?ve got a nice collection there . I couldn?t see the other combine but I did find a John Deere log skidder I had one like that I skidded lots of logs with one just like that I?d like to find another one but they are pretty valuable at the moment . I have the reproduction of the 12a which isn?t up to much compared to the ones like you have

The Tru Scale is in the bottom picture,third shelf up,all the way down in the far corner. I got a near complete set of Tru Scale from an old gal up the road. They'd been played with,but had never been taken outside. The whole set is probably as nice a set of them as you'd ever find in one place.
 

[SVcummins]

That?s cool I?d love to find some original toys like that someday but they are bringing a lot of money it seems like now days
