Why on earth would Johnnie want a custom farm toys for his birthday? That was the question on my mind as I drove to work today. I wonder if other mothers have the problem of finding that special toy for their son. I’m sure they do. How do I go about finding such a thing as a “custom” John Deere truck? I wonder if it is custom as in it’s built especially for your child or is it just called custom to make it sound special.
Last night when Johnnie asked me to get that for his birthday, I just about fell off my chair. All you could say was, “Sure, I can get one at Walmart.” He jumped up so fast I thought something bit him. But that wasn’t it. He practically put his nose on my face as he said, “No Mom, it has to be a custom truck with a trailer and the farm buildings too!” He puts his hands up to measure a big size of maybe two feet.
All I could say was, “Oh, OK.” But I was thinking that this sounded like a big job. Plus, I certainly don’t have time to do a bunch of shopping at who knows where to find a custom farm toy. Of course, I can always go online and see what I can find. So after a long day at work, I get on the computer and start my search.

How to buy good farm toys for your kids?
Wow, I would never have thought there would be so many sites that claim to have farm toys. This is going to be almost as much fun as going to three malls before finding what he wants. So let see if I can figure out how to buy good custom farm toys because I sure don’t want to hear Johnnie say it’s not the good kind he was wanting. Looks like I have some hunting to do but then it is only once a year that he asks for one particular toy and I always have been able to satisfy him except for that one time…well, I don’t think about that!
Let SEE my favorite list, and you may choose the best toy on the budget.
Custom Farm Toys 1 16 Scale and 1 64 Scale
This is how I went about my mission of finding a good custom farm toy. I googled “how do you buy custom farm toys.” There comes up so many hits on different places to buy them. First off is Amazon. I’m not sure about going to Amazon for this but I will give it a try. So I search for “John Deere custom truck” and then get a long list of all custom farm toys for sale. And what’s with the different scaled to sizes? There was 1 64th farm toys, 1/16 scale custom farm toys, 1/64 farm displays, and so on. I had no idea what all these measurements mean. I know my husband is a big Hot Wheels fan so I will ask him.
This is what my husband explained about the 1/16 versus the 1/64th. Hot Wheels are at 1/64 and 1/16 would be a big size that kids love the best. That’s a good explanation for me so I go back to my computer and search again for the custom farm truck that Johnnie wants.

Custom Farm Trucks
I find one model of the one he wants on Amazon for $70.00! Wow, that’s a little too much for my budget. So then I decide to search again on google for the exact name of the custom farm toys he wants. I visit to amazon.com and they sell many diversity John Deere toys. They have some trucks but not at that scale so I go to John Deere himself and there I find a nice truck and trailer for a reasonable $22.99. Wow, that’s a big difference and wonder why. Back to my husband who tells me that the one on Amazon is the real original one from back when they made them but John Deere probably doesn’t make that model anymore. So I guess it’s just a matter of what you really want and how much you want to spend on an eight-year-old.

Custom Farm Buildings
Now for the farm buildings. That should be easier and I don’t think they have to be custom but I will look for them too. I found a lot on Amazon and they even had combinations. They had 1/64 farm displays. Plus, they had some nice barns, houses, sheds, and even fences. Some were expensive but I found a few that were not and ordered them.
John Deere Value Set
This 70 piece John Deere value set includes everything you need to start your own miniature farm! Each set includes a variety of tractors, trucks, implements, and animals. Also features a machine shed with opening doors and a removable roof so you can easily play inside the shed with the included vehicles and accessories! Each vehicle is approximately three inches long and features free-rolling wheels and die-cast chassis. The machine shed, fencing and animals are in scale to the vehicles. The quality is really pretty good for the price (10 vehicles, a shed, livestock, and fencing for $30 is less than $3/item). The shed is by far the cheapest piece — it’s all plastic and very flimsy — but it stays together just fine. All of the vehicles are mixed plastic and metal.
Big Farm Harvesting Set
The TOMY 1:32 Harvesting set features a Peterbilt Model 367 Straight Truck with Grain Box, Grain Bin, and Grain Auger. The Peterbilt features working grain box which lifts up, opening rear gate, opening rear grain door, removable tarp and adjustable mirrors.

Exceptional detail for a collector and great play value for the carpet farmer. Age grade 3+ years.
I shut down my computer with a sigh and went to bed happy that night knowing Johnnie would have a great birthday when he opens those great custom farm toys.
