Carpet Farming

Just getting ready to write the letter to Santa for the 4 yr old lad here. He's hoping to get a Jcb loader like our silage guy ( his hero) has. All the gear he has here is Bruder stuff, the 1/16 scale stuff, as he is too young for the Britains/siku 1/32 toys as he tends to mangle them.
I've been looking on alot of websites and i can't find any silage type jcb loaders in the 1/16 scale, only a Lieberr. He'd be made up if Santa could get his hands on a Jcb 412 ( or similar) in the 1/16 scale, as he's been collecting all the other silage bits over the last 18 months and the loader is all he's missing. Anyone come across something like this? TIA

Dont think bruder do it but they usually have a catalogue in each toy box or in the shop, you might have to get it rebranded by someone.we moved on to 1.32 now

Must look into that, the gear here usually ends up hitched onto the handle for the hitch after they burst it !

He's only 4, do they do replacement bonnets,cabs and wheels aswell.
The Bruder is holding together well for him, actually I was on the Bruder site looking for the loader and I saw that they do spare parts for their toys aswell. So I've ordered a few bits and pieces and the machines will be going to the workshop for the dry period.!
I'd love to move him to the britians/siku stuff, but they're too small and his hands are too big.

I see that Britains are doing the TM310 now, after your purchase earlier in the year will you be getting one for the ... Ahem ... kids aswell.

On the JCB explore website they have a 16" wheeled loader on the vehicle link , it looks fairly basic though. ERTL do a 1:16 model of a case loader that looks very detailed maybe you could change the badge stickers on it

We, I mean they have a 412, 426 and a 310s
Our 4yo is on siku now but has two older lads supervising him. They use Bruder outside. Bruder do all spares

Amazon.co.uk do the bruder stuff as well, our 9yr old has been collecting the bruder stuff since he was about 2/3, its great stuff (he is good to mind it as well) & he gets great fun out of it, he got the bruder machinery barn a few years ago from the grandparents for Christmas.

Last year he wanted a case tractor, couldn't find one anywhere but eventually found it on amazon - he was questioning Santa a few weeks ago & then said to me sure he must be real sure he brought me a case tractor last year & I still never saw one in a shop!

He told me Saturday that he might ask for a tv & an Xbox this year - sure it will be free as Santa will be bringing it!

Its a little of both, its our little"carry on" and hopefully it teachs them to mind them and build things and sher I started out myself with a Britain s 590.we start this week building our stone walls for the farm so they must go gathering the stones for them.
