I saw this listed on eBay, and I wonder what the story is on it. http://www.ebay.com/itm/ALLIS-CHALMERS-AGCO-FARM-TOY-TRACTOR-AGCO-STAR-8360-SP-ED-1-16th-/200673829002?pt=Diecast_Vehicles&hash=item2eb917a08a - http://www.ebay.com/itm/ALLIS-CHALMERS-AGCO-FARM-TOY-TRACTOR-AGCO-STAR-8360-SP-ED-1-16th-/200673829002?pt=Diecast_Vehicles&hash=item2eb917a08a Did Agco actually consider producing these tractors in my favorite color? If they hadn't considered producing them in orange they would never have approved a toy, right? Is there a story along with this toy? If there were plans to produce them in orange and sell them through the regular Agco Allis dealer, who was the dink that changed the plan? I gave consideration to the AgcoStar when I bought my Versatile, but there were no dealers close. If they had been offered as an Agco-Allis tractor I might have bought one, as my usual dealer most likely would have handled and serviced them. ------------- If it weren't for the last minute, I wouldn't get anything done! |

Nice but a bit too pricey for this cheap skate. Wouldn't mind having it if it were under $100.

There red. They made a few of the real ones in red also. But never made any orange ones.

There were a handful of them done in red for Massey dealers that whined about it I guess. Not offering these tractors in orange was a dumb idea. I have heard alot of people complain about this. Sales would probably been better for them thru orange dealers. I would like to see someone paint one orange, would look very good.   |
