For my first post I would like to introduce you to my blog which will be loaded with information about Toy Tractors. Actually just like any blog i'll probably be really into it for a month, then my posts will be bi-weekly, and eventually you will see 3 year gaps in my activity.
My goal for this page is to present to you the knowledge I have accumulated about toy tractors over my years of collecting, new information that I gather about the hobby, and my opinions about new models and where the hobby is headed. I will post pictures and stories about my collection and my own custom work, so feel free to post your shallow and deeply hurtful criticisms in my comments section.
About myself: I am in my mid 20's and have been collecting farm toys essentially my entire life. Although my collection has grown the most in the past 7 years, I still have some childhood toys that add character to my collection. My collection consists mainly of 1/64 scale, mixed with 1/16, 1/32, and 1/87 scale models I find interesting. I also dabble in customizing. I am partial to John Deere just because thats what was mainly used in the fields that surrounded my house when I was growing up, but as you will see my collection is not brand specific.
My interest in the hobby stems from my youth when I worked in many different areas of agriculture. I started out riding along in the real combines and tractors that I collect models of today. At one point or another i've helped out either planting or harvesting corn, soy-beans, tomatoes, pumpkins, strawberries, blueberries, radishes, and wheat. Being around all of the machinery that helps to put food on our tables has always facinated me, so my admiration for these massive contraptions is what has lead to my interest in collecting models.
