The 2005 National Farm Toy Tractor: The Oliver 2655 Diesel
As surprised as collectors were to get the first AGCO model, it was even more stunning to get 2 in a row. There really haven’t been many Oliver tractors made in 1/64th scale, so to get one with this level of detail was a real treat.
This model exhibits the customary die cast construction and cab glass featured in every tractor in this series, but with an important addition; The Oliver 2655s’ were produced with the 3pt hitch that was supposed to come on the Massey Ferguson 1500.
One note on this tractor is that my 1/64th 2655 has a couple tires that have become discolored in the packaging. I don’t know if this is a trend in all of the farm show edition Olivers’ produced, but it is definitely a noticeable defect on my model.
According to the Toy Farmer pamphlet 9,000 units were produced in both 1/64th and 1/32nd scales, slightly more than the Massey Ferguson 1500. At the national show I saw very few of these tractors for sale, but the ones I did see were selling for around $20, and I have seen them for as much as $30 from online dealers.
