Our Tractor and Trailer Plastic Replica This bright red tractor and trailer come in two pieces which can be attached and detached. The two pieces are about 4 inches long together.

They work as a great toy and even a fun decoration. Put paper under the tractor and draw a country road and fields. Create your own rural setting. Add a barn and a few farm and barnyard animals from our vast supply and let your imagination run wild.
Gasoline powered tractors of this style were built by a variety of manufacturers such as International Harvester, Caterpillar, John Deere or Moline. They became wildly popular in the 1930's. They remained virtually unchanged into the mid 1960's, when cabs became enclosed and four wheel drive and automatic transmission were introduced. Implements were attached to the tractor by a hitch. The type of hitch was crucial to the usefulness of the trailer. Most manufacturers made it impossible for a farmer to attach an implement fabricated by a competitor. In our item, the hitch appears to be a classic pin and loop design which made the implement easily attachable and detachable.
