Wiking has announced they will be releasing a John Deere 8330 farm tractor. This will likely be just graphic changes to the previously released Wiking John Deere 8530 and 8430 models. All three prototype tractors are essentially identical except for the horsepower of the engines.
Here is a link to the announcement, which also includes a re-run of the N scale Fendt Favorit tractor with a farm wagon. https://www.wiking.de/de/downloads.html (https://www.wiking.de/de/downloads.html)

The prototype JD 8330 was produced from 2006-2009, and the prototype Fendt Favorit was produced from 1993-1999.
Note: The front tires on the model of the JD 8330 in Wiking's photo are on backwards for normal farm operations. But, this would be an easy fix since most, and maybe all, of the parts for Wiking N scale models press fit with no glue!
