Turkeygirl Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 those Ertl replica tractors? I have a few, I was a major tractor nut when I was little and actually I still am and was thinking about getting into collecting them, even though they'll have to stay behind when I die,lol I don't even know how to drive a real tractor,lol, but I don't what it is about them but I love them for some reason. When I was really young, we would get milk at a near by the farm, the same farm today that own's the land we hunt on, and we used to live down the road a little closer to the farm. When I was little, and my mom can attest to this, if I heard a tractor, I was off and running to the window to see it go by Even now, a big time farmer here who owns other land around us but doesn't let us hunt, he has these awesome John Deere's, you know the big ones with front and rear dual tires, I see those go by and am like "wow, how awesome a machine. I wish I could drive that" lol. So I have a few small Ertls from when I was younger, and even have around 100 + of the collectible cards. People think I'm weird to love tractors but hey, it's just me I guess. Anyone else?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bond Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 Re: Does anyone collect... Yeah I've got around 50 of the 1/64 scale and my brother has about as many 1/16 scale. I stopped collecting them but still keep them around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 Re: Does anyone collect... Nope, but I do have a 1963 Oliver 770. Too bad gas prices are where they are, because it's fun to play with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowJoe Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 Re: Does anyone collect... I love tractors too. I am planning on buying them for my daughter from the time she's born until I can't fit anymore in the house. I absolutely love them.

Widowmaker Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 Re: Does anyone collect... Yes I have quite a few of them and in all sizes. Of course I grew up around my grandpas farm, which is ours now, and now I deal with Ertl toys everyday because I am a parts manager at a John Deere dealership. Pretty cool!
