Big Roy Versatile 1080 1/32-Scale Die-Cast Toy Tractor
The Big Roy first rolled off the production line in 1977. The 8-WD tractor rode on four axles powered by a massive 600 hp Cummins engine. Retractable ladders, a camera-monitor system and many in-cab comforts made a tour of the futuristic tractor forever memorable.
Big Roy was a star on the farm show circuit for many years after its introduction.
The new replica tractor measures 11 1/4 in. long by 3 3/4 in. wide by 4 1/4 in. high. It has an articulating frame with eight Firestone tires on metal rims. It comes with a removable engine cover, retractable ladder, hood ornament, and moveable drawbar and camera detail.
Two paint schemes of the new toy model are available - a Series II version (as it rolled out of the factory in 1977) and a Series III version as it can be seen today. Quantities will be limited to a single production run based upon orders received by April 1.
Each tractor sells for $80 plus S&H. When both tractors are ordered as a set they sell for a total of $150 plus S&H. (Lori Botner, Toy Farmer Ltd., 7496 106 Ave. SE, LaMoure, N. Dak. 58458 ph 800 533-8293; website: www.toy farmer.com)
