Norscott - The #4 Farm Toy Producer

Overall Rank: #4
Types of agricultural products made: 1/87, 1/64, 1/16 Caterpillar and Claas Tractors, combines, Forage harvesters.
Signature Product: 1/32 Caterpillar Lexion 580 Combine. The largest combine in the world, featuring a 16 Row corn head. The model is very well detailed and features a movable grain platform and an extendable grain hopper.
Availability and Pricing: Most caterpillar dealers, Wall-Mart and Meijers occasionally, online dealers, toy shows.
Positives: Good Detail, accurate models.
Negatives: Few models are made, very little consistency in the lines produced.
My impression: For predominately producing construction models Norscott also produces some very nice agricultural models. If I were a collector of 1/50 construction equipment Norscott would be far and away #1, with essentially no #2. But I’m not, so Norscott is #4.
