The last three models that Corgi issued in the original farming model range were really clever and well-engineered, making use of existing castings, of course, but in an attractive way. They are each now highly sought after and expensive to acquire in good condition. This is the Ford 5000 Super Major Tractor with a scoop bucket affair at the side, complete with control panel, stabilisers and hydraulic piping and a very nicely detailed attachment.

About this Collectible

Item Condition:
Excellent
Packaging Condition:
None
Condition Notes:

Corgi made a lot of use of its tractors. Here is the Ford 5000 with a hydraulic scoop affair attached to the side. Nicely made and with realistic hoses, levers and everything, it is an attractive model. It isn’t as useful to play with as some of the earlier ones but one of the last good ones nevertheless.

These farm items tended to get damaged quite easily as their awkward shapes tended to mean they were difficult to put away in a toy box or an extended part might bump into other things that might have been avoided with a car. So finding them in good condition other than as new from old shop stock or similar is unusual.

This one is super and really has only very minimal wear and a little corrosion appearing on the front axle. That may actually clean off but I haven’t tried yet.

The plastic wheels are clean and not loose as some tended to become after a while. A nice model.
