This
came out at the same time as the David Brown tractor and was first
released at the back end of the previous year in a gift set together
with it. The
build is of similarly poor quality and it is not surprising that you
find few of these. This trailer is mostly made of plastic and not very
sturdy plastic at that. They would not have survived much play. This one came
my way through a dealer who had a lot of them - presumably some old shop
stock that had been found. It still has bits of foam and card that were
in the box for packing and I suspect that when I took these pictures it
was the first time the box had been opened.
The Farm Tipper Trailer was added to
the range 1977 and deleted in 1980, you will find it with either a
yellow chassis or a white chassis, the tipper is always red. Neither
version attracts a premium |
