Every winter Ertl releases its catalogs so incase you havent seen them here are some links. Ill probably review a few of these models over the next year so in a way heres a preview of a couple of this years New Model releases. Ill also put the catalogs in my links section.
Case IH:

New Holland:

John Deere:

Thoughts:
1. The chopper sets from Case IH and New Holland are nice, and it gives people an opportunity to get one of the new wagons in different colors but it also forces you to buy models you probably already have.
2. John Deere probably has the most ground breaking news with its 4850, 4955, and 4960 set.
3. John Deere is also making a small frame tractor in the 6140 and 5105. It will be interesting to see how much detail they put in those.
4.The new state tractor series is an interesting idea except how about making a Michigan Tractor? Michigan has one of the most diverse agricultural economies with farmers producing corn, soybeans, wheat, tomatoes, sugar beets, pickles, cherries, pumpkins, trees, blueberries, strawberries, peppers, alfalfa, cattle, chickens, sheep, ect....
Progress of a custom update: Ive been out of town for a few days so I havent done anything to the tractor since I primered it. Ill have another update up regarding the tractor on Sunday or Monday.
