New Models From Artitec

The first of the new models that Artitec announced in January 2020 are showing up at DM-Toys.

The Ford 5000 is my favorite.  While the styling of the Artitec Ford 5000 is based on the 1965-67 tractors built in the UK, some Ford 5000s with this styling did make their way to North America.  The main differences between the US built and UK built Ford 5000s was the location of the headlights, and leading edge of the fenders.  The fenders on the US built Fords were symmetrical, while the UK built Fords had the front of the fender extend to the platform where the operators feet rested. 

I have never seen a tractor pulled slurry tank like the Artitec model, but I imagine some like it were used on North American farms or dairies.

The Ford Model T was everywhere!

The mobile loading ramp looks generic enough that having one on a North America farm of industry seems very feasible.

The US Army motorcycle will be followed by a civilian version, and I am guessing it is based on a Harley.

If you want to see more of the models that were announced a year ago, and hopefully will be released soon, you can download the pdf version of the Artitec 2020 catalog here.  https://www.artitecshop.com/nl/blogs/nieuws/onze-nieuwe-producten-voor-2020/
