How to Select 1/64-Scale Farm Toys

Many people who wish they could drive massive four-wheel-drive farm tractors or harvest corn in colossal combines simply cannot. Nor can every man afford a piece of farm equipment that size. But the practical man can content himself with a 1/64-scale toy version of the dream farm equipment he cannot have.

Instructions

  1. Select 1/64-Scale Farm Toys

    • 1

      Select 1/64-scale farm toys since they are the same size as matchbox cars. 1/64 is the fraction by which a piece of farm equipment is shrunk. For example, in a 1/64 scale, a 32-foot tractor would be represented by a 6-inch-long toy.

    • 2

      Choose 1/64 scale for farm equipment and semi-trucks. This size toy is popular with kids and collectors.

    • 3

      Stick with one size scale toy to collect, like the 1/64 scale. Most manufacturers make their toy collections in a single size, so that all the pieces look appropriately sized when displayed together.

    • 4

      Order a catalog online from one of the major farm equipment manufacturers to select from a wide range of farm toy models. John Deere, Farmall, Ford and many others offer 1/64 miniature toy models based on their actual equipment designs.

    • 5

      Use 1/64-scale farm toys for science displays or school projects. Farm items such as irrigation systems, silage balers or silos are available, as well.

    • 6

      Collect 1/64-scale farm toys based on a chosen manufacturer, a manufacturing era or a type of equipment. Narrow parameters like these can make collections more cohesive and attractive.

    • 7

      Order customized 1/64-scale farm toys made for special events. Purchase regional models, such as Massey-Ferguson, Hart Paar or Oliver tractors.

    • 8

      Select farm accessories in the 1/64 scale, like poly-tanks, augers and bin kits. Choose a scale pickup truck or flatbed for the farm as well.

    • 9

      Pick out an entire barn set complete with a windmill, fence, cattle, horse, ranch hands and a farmhouse. All items in the set will be 1/64 scale.

    • 10

      Look for unique 1/64-scale farm toys, like hog farms, fruit orchards or sheep-shearer quarters. Mix and match the different farm toys for loads of fun.

    • 11

      Select 1/64-scale farm toys made from a variety of materials. Die-cast metal is the most popular. Traditionalists may choose wooden 1/64-scale farm toys, and plastic or cast resin farm toys are also available.

    • 12

      Choose 1/16-scale farm toys for the sand box, not the smaller 1/64 scale. European farm toys are generally 1/32 scale, which is larger than the 1/64 scale.
