1/16 Spec Cast Kinze 640 Big Blue 4WD Tractor, Limited Edition
Item History & Price
1 of 2000 made
Working in conjunction with DMI of Goodfield, Illinois, development began in 1972 on a 13 -bottom plow that would flex in the middle. To demonstrate this new design, KINZE custom built a 4 - wheel d...rive tractor that was powered by twin Detroit Diesel engines that produced 600 H.P. The tractor and plow were completed just in time to be demonstrated at the Farm Progress Show in the fall of 1974. This specialty built tractor, weighing over 20 tons, became known as "Big Blue" and continued to draw large crowds at various farm shows and field demonstrations through 1976. It was also brought to the Farm Show in IL in the fall of 2011.
Today, nearly 45 years since the introduction of this massive tractor, a piece of history can be purchased in this 1/16 all die cast replica of "Big Blue". Exceptional attention to detail pertaining to the manufacturing of this quality replica will definitely be a must have for all KINZE and 4-wheel drive collectors.Previously Displayed on Open Shelves, Cleaned up as best as I could, but might still be a little dusty.Box has some shelf wear and is dusty from storage.All models are sold AS IS.Please ask questions before bidding.Models will be accepted as RETURNS, ONLY, at my expense.I will not bargain for alleged damage.Shipping will be via USPS Parcel Post.
