"Toy Farmer" magazine is an excellent source for information on buying these toys or being a collector.

Additional comments
These toys work for ages 3 and older.

Kids can sit down in the dirt or roll a toy tractor across the coffee table.

The 1/16th scale models work well with model train layouts.

It is hard to find a more flexible toy than a toy tractor. Old ones are made of metal, but the newer ones are made of plastic.

You can even purchase remote controlled tractors from tractor dealers and toy dealers.

The accessories for toy tractors are virtually unlimited: bush hogs, bailers, wagons and playsets that include toy barns and silos.
