Farmer Jerry says

“When this monster rolled out, it looked like a spaceship. Articulated steering meant the front and back moved together. We didn't have fields quite big enough for it around here, but man, did we want one.”

About this model

1:16 die-cast metal replica
Articulated four-wheel drive
Original 2002 Precision Classics release

The John Deere 8020, built from 1961 to 1964 as an update of the 8010 introduced in 1959, was a pioneering articulated four-wheel-drive tractor produced in very limited numbers, with fewer than 100 believed to have been built across both nameplates, making the real machine one of the rarest and most historically significant John Deere tractors. It bridged the final two-cylinder era and the New Generation, applying enormous horsepower through all four wheels at a time when most row-crop tractors still used two. This 2002 Precision Classics 1:16 die-cast is among the series' most important entries for collectors.
