NEW ERTL John Deere Models Are Here!

Today we are going to take a look at three NEW John Deere models from ERTL that have just arrived. 

The first is this 1/64 scale John Deere 9620R articulated tractor replica.

#45480 - 1/64 Scale
John Deere 9620R 4-Wheel-Drive Articulated Tractor with Doubles

This tractor features dual wheels all the way around, a truly articulating chassis, and accurate John Deere logos.

Now, we turn our attention to the big brother of the model above. It's still a John Deere 9620R but this one is 1/16 scale!

#45508 - 1/16 Scale
John Deere 9620R 4-Wheel-Drive Articulated Tractor with Doubles - Prestige Collection

 This 9620R is part of ERTL's Prestige Collection. It features an extremely detailed cab, front weights, and fine paint details.

Our final replica for today is this John Deere 8400R.

#45569 - 1/64 Scale
John Deere 8400R Tractor With Triples    

If you need a little more traction to pull your 1/64 scale implements, look no further. The drive axle has triples to distribute the torque across a much larger area. It also has a front weight to keep your nose to the ground while you're plowing your field.

All three of these fantastic models are in stock and ready to ship, so put your order in at 3000toys.com today!

#02467 - 1/16 Scale
September Arrival
Cat Mini Excavator with Worker 

This Mini Excavator comes with a CAT construction worker equipped with a CAT hat. As with virtually every other Bruder model, the cab opens so that the workers can pilot the machine.

You can take your excavation far and wide with the fully articulating arm. The arm also allows you to scoop down far below the tracks, just like the real machine!

The car body swivels 360 degrees on the chassis to aid in loading up your trusty dump truck. The plow blade also adjusts up and down.

 Just in case your CAT needs to be serviced, the rear engine hood opens to allow access to the engine compartment.

Bruder toys are built tough, so don't be afraid to take it outside and build something!

This Excavator is set to arrive in just a couple of weeks. If you already have enough construction crew members, you can also pick this item up without the operator HERE. Either way, be sure to order yours at 3000toys.com today!

NEW Prestige Collection IH 1066 Tractor Has Arrived from ERTL!!!

We are pleased to announce the arrival of a NEW Prestige Collection tractor from ERTL! The  Prestige Collection features a high level of detail and value, and we are always excited to see the newest release. The photos often can't do justice to the models; but, until you receive your order, they'll have to do!

#44083 - 1/16 Scale
International Harvester 1066 Tractor - Prestige Collection

A 3-point adjustable hitch and dual rear wheels with rubber tires give this replica a quality feel. 

The front weight bracket has a solid feel to it, and the weights slip right into place to give you just the right amount of traction. The graphics are flawless and beautiful! 

Clear cab windows all around show off the highly-detailed interior. From the pedals, to the steering wheel, to the dash cluster, the minutiae are impressive!

This is my favorite view! Any 1/16 scale farmer would be proud to sit behind that wheel!

These tractors are in-stock and ready to roll at 3000toys.com! So put your order in today and see this prestigious replica in person! While you're there, be sure to check out the rest of the Prestige Collection!
