mr softie Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 the ertl prestige john deere`s are more diecast, and a lot heavier and have more detail than the standard range , more of a model than a toy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrol Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I did a comparison at G&M this morning between the Britains and Ertl Prestige Case wheeled machines and to be honest, I couldn't see many differences...one has duals and one singles, the marker boards are different but appeared to be the same use of plastic on the body and wheels etc and the different shades of red seemed to be consistent. I'm after the NH version but I'm not going to spend the extra cash on the imported Ertl model and just buy the cheaper Britains model and then fit dual wheels to it.

mrol Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 If you look at g&m website they have pictures of both. The Ertl has a full width bar at the back but doesn't have the large square red and White chevron marker boards which the Britains has at the back and front of the machines. The Britains ones are also cheaper! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrol Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Sorry - missed the bit about quadtrac. Here is a pic of the Britains version from the german toy fair http://www.traktorenwerk.de/Fotos/Nuernberg2011/BR42552.JPG If you are just after tracks for a conversion, you could prob pick up the old version of the model pretty cheaply now.
