McCormick Farmall 560
Farmer Jerry says
“This was the very first tractor Toy Farmer ever put out for the show, and I still remember the buzz. Wide front, IH red, and still my favorite way this whole tradition got started.”
About this model
- 1:16 die-cast metal replica
- Original 1978 National Farm Toy Show release
- Made by Ertl for Toy Farmer
For 1978, Ertl chose the McCormick Farmall 560 as the National Farm Toy Show's official 1:16 scale release. The National Farm Toy Show has held its Dyersville, Iowa gathering every November since 1978, and this was its first-ever show tractor. No general retail run followed for the McCormick Farmall 560; it sold only at the show and through Toy Farmer's mail order, and that limited run is what collectors chase today. Ertl's November 1978 letter to collectors puts this single rear tire version at five hundred units, with the mold dated 11-1-78; a second version with dual rear tires followed in 1979.
