Re: Tell us what you got for Christmas
 

I got a few nice things, but besides seeing some of my family members, which I haven't seen for a while, one of my favorite presents was an Ertl International 1206 Wheatland tractor. Yup, another IH fan! :D

Re: Tell us what you got for Christmas
 

Hi Steve. I think Ertl released the 1206 tractors in early 2010. They did offer a 1206 industerial model, which is the one you are thinking of, and this red Wheatland version. Both have FWA, which is really cool. I've found the red Wheatland is getting a tougher to find now, but the yellow industerial 1206 is still available at a lot of dealers or shops. E-Bay seems to have the red Wheatland versions, but at higher prices now. Sometimes really high prices! It pays to look around for a good deal, if you specifically want a red 1206.

Today I turned two of the gift cards I got into a Futaba 3PL 2.4G radio system for my scaler.

Re: Tell us what you got for Christmas
 

Nathan glad to see you got the 1206, I know you've been wanting to add a 12 to your collection.

Ertl has made both the 21206 and the 21256.

Re: Tell us what you got for Christmas
 

Thanks Craig! Yeah, been wanting that tractor for a while now! From what my folks tell me, there are a couple more tractors on the way, that didn't make it in time for Christmas! They were watching E-Bay for a Precision 1206, but since those sell so high, they ordered up something else, and I think I know exactly what they ordered.

Re: Tell us what you got for Christmas
 

that 1206 would be an awsome r/c conversion even with the front wheel assist

Re: Tell us what you got for Christmas
 

It would be, but then what Ertl tractor wouldn't be? :D Space would be a problem. These tractors don't have much room inside them. Even the bigger 4wd articulated tractors lack space, and they are much larger models. The other problem is I hate to split a limited edition tractor like this in half and not know if I could ever really get it back together with all the necessary components inside.

there was a guy on ebay years ago using a photo like this to sell kits and scam people.. i almost fell for it.

Re: Tell us what you got for Christmas
 

Well,aren't you just a boatload of encouragement. LOL J/K

Believe me, when it comes to throwing down this kind of coin for a truck, i did some background on the seller. Although I gotta admit, his hometown being called Hussein kind of got me on the defensive.:eek:

Re: Tell us what you got for Christmas
 

I finally ordered my first truck kit with my Christmas money! Woohoo! I ordered a King Hauler that should be here next week. It's going to be a very long term build though since I don't have a radio for it but that's ok. I also bought myself one of the new Traxxas Ken Block Gymkhana cars that'll be here next week too! It was a very good Christmas!

Re: Tell us what you got for Christmas
