Thats kinda big to run the baler, a loader is gonna be darned awkward, so this must be for tillage. Or did the make a snowblower attachment?
 
I wonder if steam will return? A wood pellet steam powered tractor.
Also wonder how many fields fires were caused by steam engines.
 
I wont let myself near my millennium steam engine or froehlich tractor . I think they have been out of the box twice since the year 2000
 
The sticker price is what caught my eye. I have two of the 175th ann 2pc sets. Steam engine with a red 2594. The first set I ordered $28.00. The steamer had two left wheels. Then I went to a toy auction and bought the second set for $8.00.

I use to collect a lot of 1/64. I have several NIB with price tags ranging from $1.49 to $8.00. I pretty much stopped when they hit $12 and higher. I have several 1/16 toys I bought in the 80's that were under $14.99!

I don't buy much in 1/16. Not real interested in 8 or 9000R Deeres or Magnums. Toy companies make less and less older models like I grew up around. Although I do have several of the Speccast Oliver hundred series. That what we had in the 60's and 70's.

I did. A friend was kind enough to send me detailed pictures of a Rumely traction engine with some dimensions so I was able to scale it down to 1:64 with at least <i>some</i> degree of accuracy.

Most of the parts were designed in TinkerCAD and printed on my 3D printer. About the only things what weren't printed were the boiler tube, the roof and the sides of the operator's cabin.

Great fun!

I got started on a MM UniHarvester last Winter, I'll continue with that when the weather gets too cold to do things outside.

The boiler, the sides of the operator's cabin and the roof were made from plastic shapes. Everything else was designed in TinkerCAD and printed on my 3D printer.
 
I remember when you could buy 1/64 tractor for a couple dollars too implements under a dollar but they sure didnt have the detail they do now . Back then you could get a generic sound gard body tractor with out of scale tires with duals or mfwd or one with a loader that was 3 times out Proportion a barge wagon a gravity wagon and a 12 row max emerge planter . A combine and an out of scale cotton picker case ih ford deutz allis had about the selection or a little less
