Promoting Excellence in HO Scale Vehicle Modeling

John Deere 8530 Farm Tractors - By John Ross


Texas Plains farmer John Ross tells us, "This is the way the Wiking John Deere 8530 tractor is supposed to look." The rear tires are from a 1/64th scale Ertl John Deere 720 tractor and the front are from a little utility tractor, both from Tractor Supply. The tires are 50 inch on the rear and 38 inch front, both 18.4. The grain cart is scratchbuilt copied from John's real 1:1 scale one. The back ground is his grain elevator diorama scale and probe station.
