Rare Czech made combine

An outstanding find, this plastic combine made by Smer from the Czech Republic.

It represents the John Deere 530 type combine, which was originally made by Wader of Germany as a promotional model. Later on, Smer obtained the moulds from Wader and did this 1/32nd scale combine again but now without the 'John Deere 530' text on the side plates.

Obviously they also made a yellow version, which I have never seen before!

Coloured ploughs

Three original orange, blue metallic and purple coloured Britains ploughs, found at the Lochristi show, Belgium. The purple one is believed to be the rarest colour variation of these 1/32 scale toy ploughs.

Sold on eBay yesterday, this very rare chrome plated Chad Valley Fordson Major.

Massey Fergusons from South America

Fairly new are these MF models made exclusively for AGCO Brazil.

There are two tractor models being manufactured by the Brazilian company 3LS, the 200 and 6000 series. Both 1/32 and 1/1 for for the local market.

There is a model of the 5000 series known as well, and made by the same company, but sold out and not available anymore.

A plastic combine is being made in the unusual 1/73rd scale.

For collectors who are interested, I managed to get a limited amount of models to Europe, which was a true struggle... For orders and more images check out www.60toys.com!
