This AGCO Allis 6080 orange tractor was the '93 Farm Show Edition, in the 1:64 scale. It is quite small and almost dainty, and was greatly loved by some and hated by others for the frequent repairs their model had cost them. The feature most appreciated is the cab with the sun roof, which allowed the driver to be air-cooled, before air-conditioning became a "given" in tractors.
It wasn’t until 1914 that Allis-Chalmers began producing tractors and machinery for agriculture, a sector in which they would become a world leader.
In 1929, as a way to set their tractors apart, Allis-Chalmers began painting them Persian Orange — making them instantly recognizable around the globe.
By 1916, Allis-Chalmers employed over 8,000 men, with branches in ten American cities as well as four international locations.

This small model is just 2 1/4 inches long, and 1 3/4 inches high. In metrics that is 6 centimetres long and 4cm high.
A small - rather cute - tractor deserves a small and attractive price, right? So $5.00 sounds just right, eh? :)
