Britains 42898: Massey Ferguson 6613 Tractor, 1:32 Scale

Released in 2014, this model become available in the 1:32 scale series with a function not available in previous releases, a removable driver's cab. This matters today more than ever as the young farmer can now fit a tractor driver in the seat. You might say this model, and others, in the years to come will remove any compatibility issues when the time arises.

Massey Ferguson 6613 Tractor

We can distinguish this Britains Massey Ferguson simply be the square-like shape of the driver's cab, with the design of the bonnet allowing us to know that this is indeed a MF.

What is different with this model to similar ones is the silver driver's cab roof that blends in with the black trim and red body finish.

Fitted with replica exterior decor; there's imitation lights all over for night time farming, wing mirrors and a large exhaust on the right side - with steps leading to the cab and engine radiator detail.

Counter-Weight

This is not just a basic Britains counter-weight, but one that features remarkable detail, with the design appear to be detachable - which it is not - with pins connecting it to the front attachment.

Now when this Britains Massey Ferguson 6613 tractor is towing the heaviest toy farm implements, the weight of the load will be balanced with this front counter-weight attached.

You see, its all about balancing when towing, making sure all four wheels are firmly on the ground at all times. But not to worry, if they're not hauling any loads with the counter-weight attached, it will not be an issue, only if it wasn't fixed at all.

Removable Cab

Before Britains farm toys made it official by releasing their sitting tractor driving figures, they took the layout of earlier tractors - such as this model - as a blueprint for future 1:32 scale releases.

And why is this? Because from now on all tractor cabins can be removed, with the ability to secure one of the four sitting figures into the seat, tightly squeezed behind the steering wheel.

In the case of this Massey Ferguson tractor, the red figure would match perfectly. Well the cab is fixed to the body, the interior is visible through the ever-so lightly tinted windows.

Front-Axle Steering

Take care as your maneuver around the farmyard with the skill required to dodge the farm buildings and any objects commonly scattered around the farm.

This is accomplished thanks to the real front-axle steering on this model, the wheels are not controlled by any gimmicks or by the steering wheel, but rather turned left and right by hand.

Tight corners cannot be made,but the steerable wheels will assist in the cornering. While the wheels turn left or right, they continue to be covered with the front two mud guards at all times.
