Andy Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 The online voting for the top models of 2011 is now open. You can visit the survey by clicking the link below http://farmtoysforum.com/survey/index.php?sid=85699&lang=en This year, a shortlist has been compiled for each category so all you need to do is rank the candiates in order from 1 to 5 (or 10). 1 is the top candiate, 5 or 10, the bottom one. Voting is open until the end of April. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had almost 500 responses in the end which is a great representation of the hobby.

FordTractorCrazy Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 no surprises there, i think all no.1's were also on my list.. but more importantly, a flipping 500 voters is fantastic! very proud for FTF to create such an interest and i think it would be great that manufacturers are taking note from the collectors and their appreciation for the models they produce..

Deere-est Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 The results show a good mix of the current model makers too, a couple of years ago I could see this sort of thing being walked by one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted May 11, 2012 Author Share Posted May 11, 2012 The only surprise for me was the Britains IH and Case IH not getting into the top three. It was some way behind third place as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdc Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 The only surprise for me was the Britains IH and Case IH not getting into the top three. It was some way behind third place as well. Possibly indicates FTF members are prepared to pay a little more for realism and detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
