New Toys coming from Ertl

[Southern]

I saw on Vankleys some new toys are coming out.

John Deere
1/64 JD 8310R with dual FWA, spacer rear duals "2001 Farm Show 1 of 5000" on cab top - gold chaser units will be available

CIH
1/64 C-IH Magnum 315 with spacer flotation FWA and spacer rear duals - "Farm Show 2011 Case-IH" on cab top - gun metal chrome chaser units will be available

1/64 40th Anniv. Set: - IH 1468 with cab, spacer rear duals, dual stacks + IH 1466 with spacer rear duals - each has "Case-IH 40th Anniversary" silk screened on fenders

New Holland
1/64 NH T9.615 4WD with spacer flotation duals - "Farm Show 2011" on cab top - chaser units will be available

1/64 NH T8.390 with spacer FWA and rear spacer duals

1/64 NH T700 with FWA + V-tank

1/64 NH T9.560 4WD with spacer flotation duals

Nice little list of new stuff coming out. I will be after the IH 40th Annv set. As it will have a 1466 and 1468 V8. I will see if I can take the duals off the 1466 and put Rops/Canopy on it. To match what we run around here. Plus the 1468. I'm looking forward to this set. The rest I'm not getting. Nothing I really want.

Also they listed the size of the new John Deere Planter from Ertl.
1/64 JD 1770NT 16 row 30" planter with center tank

I will buy 1 of them, and cut it down for 12 rows. I rather have a modern 12 row than another 16 row. I have 2 of those row sizes and don't even use them. So I have no need for another. So it will be a 12 row. I was hoping for a 24 row. But a 12 row is just as good for what I will do with it.

I'll probably get the planter. I may modify it like you.

Ill get the 40 anniversary set, fwa 88, 2 1770s to make into 12 rows with 1.3 boxes and 3.0 boxes.

Ill be after the NH 4wds, the 8310R, 1770 and the 315.

I saw Vankleys posted up the pics of them today. Very nice stuff. Specially the IH 40th set. After looking at the 1466. I think I can put the Rops/Canopy from the IH 826 State tractor on it. Like I did for my IH 856 and 1456. I will be sure to pick up the 826 for this project. And I will need a 86 series with rear singles. As I will need those tires on the 1466. Then I will have an updated 1466 based off the ones in my area. The 1468 will stay the same as it is just how I like it. I saw the pic of the 5488 with fwa and duals. I will be sure to add that one too. And you already know my plans for the planter. Cut it down for 12 rows.

I may have had this explained to me before, but forgot. What is a "chaser unit"? EVK

Its a special unit they put in some of the cases. That is usually a gold, black, chrome colors.
