SpecCast 1/16 Kinze Big Blue 4wd Tractor 921
SpecCast is a select manufacturer of collectible die-cast metal agricultural and tractor-trailer replicas. Although a very specialist range, some of these models are very interesting to the collector.
Working in conjunction with DMI of Goodfield, Illinois, development began in 1972 on a 13 -bottom plough that would flex in the middle. To demonstrate this new design, Kinze custom built a 4 - wheel drive tractor� that was powered by twin Detroit Diesel engines producing 600 H.P.. The tractor and plough were completed just in time to be demonstrated at the Farm Progress Show in the fall of 1974. This specially 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
