Find it out here first!!! The next Precision John Deere unit is an "R". For those of you familiar with the "R", it is known as the first JD tractor with a diesel engine. It was built for dry land farming, not row crop use, and had one of the largest two cylinder engines every built at that time.
When I look back, it's been over 20 years since Ertl has produced a 1/16th scale "R" tractor. I'll get some images posted soon to give you a better idea of our new replica.

Thanks for looking!!
Welcome everyone to Bill's Blog.
For those of you really interested in farm toys, I'll try to keep you up to date on all of the latest releases and news from Ertl.
We're literally less than a week away from announcing some new John Deere replicas, including the next Precision. We'll also be introducing some new "8R" replicas and a special collector edition of a tractor that is celebrating its 75th Anniv. in 2010. I'm sure you can guess what that is.
Enough for now, I need to go do some more toy testing.... (BTW, that's me on my 1st birthday!)
