When these went up on the Ertl site yesterday morning, I bet myself that someone would post them here within a 24 hours.  You didn't quite make it  :) 

Nothing excessively exciting in them, but I will look forward to the NH T8.360 (and hopefully a Britains release of it later in the year perhaps  :D )

very nice:

lots of new models. i believe Ertl had to make new tooling for the T9 series models as the hood wouldnt be corresponding with the earlier TJ series models.

1:32 NH T9.670 and NH T9.450 with different types of dual tires , and the NH T8.390 is also a sure winner.

also the 1:64 NH T8.420, NH BR7090(this should be done in 1:32) and ford 650 with hayrake are very nice additions

but the best is of course the Ford FW60 pedal tractor  ;)

with 6 new models for the first half of 2011, not bad for Ertl standards...

Wouldn't mind some of that 1:64 stuff being done in 1:32. The round baler for a start but in yellow of course, the flex wing mower would be nice too. . ..

When the old Escort van packs up I may even trade it in for a pedal along FW-60!!  :of:laugh: :laugh:

The bigger T9 looks great and better than the Britains version with only single wheels - the smaller one looks a bit odd, but it maybe a prototype perhaps.

The T8.390 sounds good with duals all round...it's going to be an interesting year for this T8 as it sounds like there are now 3 to look forward to - Ertl, Siku and Wiking. It's interesting that Britains aren't including it in their line up - I guess Siku must have the European rights to it.

Interestingly the 1:64 T8.420 also supports the rumour I mentioned in the Wiking topic - that the real life model will be released later this year as it's not currently a model that exists in the T8 line up (the 390 is the biggest to date)...I'm slightly surprised NH let Ertl let the cat out of the bag in their catalogue!

I'd rather have the Steiger 600 from the Case-IH catalogue  :)  (but I think I'm a bit too large for it  :( )

It may be, but it may just be because the actual T9.450 model is a shorter wheelbase than the T9.670 (as on the real thing)

The 32nd T.8 is a T.8.360 on singles - the T8.390 on duals is 64th  ;)

I would think you will find that, as with a lot of the Ertl commissioned items, it will become part of the Britains catalogue later in the year (or possibly next year). 

Not sure why you should think that because Siku are doing one, it has to mean that no other manufacturer is allowed to; Britains and Siku have a long history of licences to produce models of the same or similar machines (Ford TW/30 series. Deutz DX, Renault TX145, MF 7200 series combine).  All the 32nd models that Ertl produce are available for Craig to commission a version for Britains  ;)

Ertl do seem to be producing less in the way of New Holland the last couple of years - the Case-IH range is now far bigger.

I have lookt at the case catalog but where is the 1056? I don't see it at the catalog

These are the North American market catalogues - they possibly aren't releasing it over there to start with - maybe a second half release?  The Fords were released over there at different times from their UK releases too. 

I think both T8s (32nd and 64th) are duals all around - based on the wording in the catalogue next to the picture.

You're right, I missed that bit  :-[

Used to be a rumour around here that in that 835, 850 875 895 or so series that the only difference was a few spacers/ washers in the injector pump to change the horsepower output. So, to stop everyone buying 835s and buying the spacers and getting cheap power, each spacer could only be bought from Cummins for around $4000 each!

Maybe it was a bit of a (sub)urban legend but it was a story with "legs" for years.
