I will accept any constructive criticism. I don't feel a comment about a tire being on backwards to be constructive criticism. This happens to be the first shots from the tooling. There are going to be issues and things that need to be fixed.
We'll get it fixed.

I guess I won't post pictures of new items on any website if all anyone can do is moan about a tire being put on backwards.

Yes, the Allis Chalmers deal was dropped. Never produced.

This should be moved to the "Scale Models" section. Ertl is not producing this unit.

I have asked Ebay to remove it.

We have just posted our 2011 John Deere catalog on our website (www.ertl.com).
This shows all our new items for the first six months of 2011.

What is the difference in the SG cab vs. the U.S. cab? I'm sorry, we haven't announced what our new Precision line will be yet.

The tractor should start shipping in early December. It has all the normal Precision detail including opening cab door, opening engine side panels, separate front weights, 3-point hitch detail, diecast rims, etc...

What do you want to know?

How are you getting your models? I am not aware of anyone in China who had these models.

I've looked around the offices and haven't found one yet. I'll keep looking.

Going forward we are using the "pin" on the hitch to make it compatible with all the other 1/32nd tractors. The 9430T has the pin where our 9630T had an "authentic" looking hitch.

Tell me again why I should answer this question? You know how us Americans like our secrets....

I don't recall anyone commenting that we were coming out with new AGCO toys in late 2009? Are you sure you're not thinking about Scale Models?
Bill

There is no truth to the rumor. The Ertl/Britians are not up for sale and no discussion with UH has taken place.
It is true that UH have opened up a distribution center in the U.S. I believe this was primarily to service AGCO with the new 1/32nd MF and AGCO models UH have recently tooled.

What new AGCO toys?
Bill

It might be from Scale Models, which happens to be owned by an Ertl, but is not affiliated with the original Ertl company. Confused yet?
One of the sons of the original Ertl founder left the Ertl Company and started his own company called Scale models. He does produce some 1/16th farm toys, primarily AGCO.

What website are you referring?

We did a special "830" in conjunction with John Deere's 200th Birthday.
The 50th Anniv. of the tractor was in 2008, so the anniversary is past.

We are releasing an Oliver 1950T and AC D-19 Diesel this Fall. We have no plans for an Agco DT300. I don't know who started this rumor, but it's not true.

We're listening, just give us a little time....
Bill

No 830 planned, why do you think one should be coming out?
There's not much else we can do with this tooling that hasn't already been done, other than your heat houser idea.

You should be able to clean that off rather easily.

People have a right to say whatever they want about an item.
I understand your comment, but how does saying a tire is on backwards improve the product?
The photo we are discussing was taken from another website and put onto this website. Should I have complained about someone using my image without approval?
So anyone can say negative things about our product... I guess I'm only supposed to have a positive attitude...
Double standard?
I'm done.
