Haying the Ertl Way!

Does the smell of freshly cut grass bring memories flooding back to you? Haying season is at our door steps and the smell of fresh cut grass means hard work for many farmers.



When you think of "haying the hard way", you might think of earlier days when haying meant a lot of physical work for the animals and farmers alike.




However, though farming is still hard work, with new technology and innovations, haying has become a less tedious chore than before.

If you are the John Deere kind of farmer, Ertl has some new 1/16 Scale models for you to choose from, which entails a lot less work than buying a real tractor!

Harvesting Christmas Cheer with ERTL

The Christmas season is always sneaking up on us. I think I received a Christmas email sometime in September while I was busy preparing for Columbus Day. Our time for remembering lost explorers has passed and only a large turkey and the accompanying cozy afternoon nap stand between us and Christmas. Therefore, in an effort to prepare and give you ample time to find gifts for your friends and family, I'm going to show you some of our best sellers from ERTL. We have models for both your young and not-so-young collectors on your Christmas list, so make sure to take a good, long look at all we have to offer!

Starting off with a classically styled farm model, this 1/64 scale John Deere 7130 Tractor with Wing Mower (45217 - Price = $10.99) features detailed diecast build and accurate graphics, and makes the perfect addition to any farm diorama. The flex wing moxer hitches to the 7130 and is ready to go! When the work is done, the mower decks fold up for storage in the shed (not included). The clear cab glass allows for a peak at the detailed interior, and with its sturdy construction, this model is great for any John Deere enthusiast, young or old!

Cut hay for the cattle with the 1/64 scale CIH WD2303 self propelled mower (14736 - Price = $12.99). The mower body is made of die cast material with soft plastic tires. The rear axle tilts to allow the 4 tires to
stay on the ground. There are two different cutter heads that can be easily attached to the mower.




Detailed and sturdy diecast construction make this 1/50 scale John Deere 2954D Tracked Log Loader (45036 - Price = $48.99) a great piece for any logging or John Deere enthusiast, young or old! The arms are able to clamp securely around the logs (not included), and the fully rotating body and pivoting boom make for easy unloading.









Our next set contains a highly detailed Case IH 215 Magnum tractor and two J&M gravity wagons, all in 1/64 scale (14639 -Price = $24.99). The tractor features a die-cast body, cab glass, GPS detail on cab roof and dual rear wheels. The J&M Gravity Wagon features a die-cast frame and grain box and steerable front axle. The wagons also hitch to each other and to the tractor.

Finally, the 1/64 scale New Holland BB9080 Big Square baler (13787 - Price = $8.99) makes it fun to bale hay. Two bales will fit inside the baler. The rear ramp raises and lowers so the bales can be finger pushed out by your child. The baler features tandem axles with soft tires, sturdy die-cast upper body with engineering grade plastic undercarriage. Plus, three bales are included!
