Over 134,600 "Regulars" were built between its introduction in 1923 and discontinuance (in favor of an updated model) in 1932. I thought this was a great year to bring this to you as it celebrates its 100th Anniversary. It was the first mass-produced row crop tractor. With its higher ground clearance and standardized features, she was an instant success and helped further the mechanization of America at a crucial time in our history. I am so blown away with this model, what a beast! I believe its design bridges the earlier steam powered tractors and combustion engine tractors. Utilizing the latest generation of 3D printers, the quality of the parts are just amazing. I cannot wait to get these parts in your hands!

The Fordson Model “F” was unquestionably the most popular tractor manufactured during the early Twentieth Century. Over 755,000 were assembled at Ford plants in Dearborn, Michigan and Cork, Ireland. Henry Ford started an independent company for building his tractors since Ford Motor Company shareholders had no interest in tractor production. He named his new company “Henry Ford & Son” - thus the “Fordson” was born! This versatile little tractor was popular in agriculture, light industry, mining, and logging. This one is a no brainer. A very durable product that was common to find in use well into the 1950’s all over the world.

Is there a more iconic symbol of early American engineering and manufacturing prowess than this Deere? Production began in 1923 at the Deere Waterloo Iowa production facility where over 55,500 were eventually manufactured. This model kit is suitable for early 1920 modelers all the way up to 1960’s. The versatile “D” was able to operate on gasoline, kerosene, or tractor fuel. This was a large tractor, and has the honor of being the longest production run of any John Deere in its day. Probably the most fun to paint of the four, I simply loved breaking out the green and yellow paint, what an amazing combination! I find little doubt that these colors were inspired by the green and yellow of all that Iowa corn being harvested but there is a bit of controversy among the tractor historians, whatever…

The Farmall C was produced during the 1940’s and 1950’s although weathered correctly, she looks appropriate anytime after 1935 or so. Design on the Farmall dates back to the mid-1930's, but production was delayed for over ten years due to WWII. Farmall was a part of International Harvester and the "C" originally sold for $1500. This was a very popular tractor and just under 80,000 were manufactured. It was the predecessor to the “Super C” which was even more popular. I just love the overall feel of this classic, especially the iconic front wheel assembly. A quick internet search will show how versatile this tractor was as it was widely used in agriculture, mining, and the lumber industry.

The Ford 600 Series tractors began production in 1954, and continued until 1957. Although many of these tractors were made, they are very collectible due to their smaller size and favorable design. Many are still in use today on small and large farms alike due to their power and functionality. I love this tractor as it exemplifies the design aesthetic of the 1950’s. The resurgence of the Art Deco movement is front and center in the clean and rounded lines of the hood design. This tractor looks like a race car when compared to the older John Deere and Fordson designs! This little beauty was manufactured in Highland Park Michigan and originally sold for $2056. This tractor is the ultimate example of a versatile design and was a very popular model in its day. The Ford 600 is the most modern of my tractor releases, I had to include it in the line-up!
