A word about Scales...

The size of most farm and construction toys are a mere fraction of the size of the original piece of equipment. This relative size is referred to as the "scale" of the toy. Because it is a fraction, the larger the bottom number, the smaller the toy. Most of the "sandbox" toys we grew up with are 1/16 scale and have long been a favorite in the United States. In Europe however, 1/32 scale toys are by far the most popular. Half the size of 1/32 is 1/64 scale, which became popular years ago with the introduction of "matchbox" toys. In recent years giant 1/8 scale tractors and implements have been introduced and is gaining popularity. Model railroading has also influenced the farm toy market with a demand for 1/87 (HO scale) trucks, tractors and implements. Another railroading scale is 1/48 (O scale) which closely approximates 1/43 scale farm equipment and accessories.

The major Brands...

Many of the farm toys that are currently available are produced by three Iowa companies. The granddaddy of them all is Racing Champions/Ertl, which was founded in Dyersville, Iowa and has grown to be the predominant source for farm toys.

The two other Dyersville, Iowa companies are SpecCast, and Scale Models. SpecCast caters to toy collectors with limited edition replicas, collector banks and airplanes. Scale Models has generated a lot of interest with their 1/8 scale tractors, new productions of "vintage" pedal tractors, and 4 wheel drive tractors.
