Each summer the Toy Tractor Times looks forward to featuring the muscle tractors that have be recreated as 1/16 and 1/64 pullers.

This modified 8280 is truly the ultimate Massey Fergursun on the tracks. We also have news from Gottman Toys on their future plans for puller models which includes a “Big Blue” model. In addition to 1/16 pullers there are some interesting stories on 1/64 pulling tractors and a supped up lawn and garden puller.
