First Gear Farm Displays: Grain Hauler, Fertilizer Tender or Big Roy?
Choose a grain hauler for a harvest-transport display, a fertilizer tender for an agricultural-support theme, or Big Roy when the farm tractor itself is the centerpiece. These First Gear examples share a 1:64 scale, but represent different jobs. They are not interchangeable trucks simply because all can belong in a farming collection.

Peterbilt 589 and Wilson Pacesetter: the grain-hauling choice
The Peterbilt 589, 60-2173, combines a silver-and-orange tractor, 58-inch mid-roof sleeper and 50-foot Wilson Pacesetter grain trailer. It is a complete tractor-and-trailer offer.
Choose it for a grain-transport scene or for a Peterbilt collector who wants a different trailer from an enclosed van. The approximate complete dimensions are 14 inches long, 2 inches wide and 2.5 inches high.
A grain-trailer subject does not establish supplied miniature grain or functioning discharge equipment. Check any required opening feature before planning a loading or unloading scene around it.
Kenworth and Demco: liquid-fertilizer support
The Kenworth W900 day cab, 60-2289, is green and comes with a black Demco 42-foot liquid-fertilizer tender. It is approximately 12.5 inches long, 2 inches wide and 2.5 inches high.
This is the relevant choice when the tender is the attraction. It is not another grain hopper, and a tender is a different equipment subject from an applicator working in the field.
For a layout, give the complete combination a parking and turning position rather than leaving room only for the tractor. The model name identifies its agricultural purpose, not working liquid-storage or pumping capabilities.
Versatile Big Roy: a tractor-focused centerpiece
The Big Roy 1080 restoration-version model, 60-1326, is red and yellow with the distinctive multi-axle tractor layout shown in the product image. Its approximate size is 5.75 inches long, 1.9 inches wide and 2.5 inches high.
Choose it for the Big Roy subject or a farm-tractor collection rather than a highway freight rig. Restoration version identifies the represented finish; the listing offers a new collectible miniature, not a used toy restored by Muncle Mikes.
No matching implement or road trailer is established as included. A farm tractor's hitch should not be assumed to accept a semi-trailer, and a shared scale does not create that compatibility.
Build a scene with one clear purpose
For a harvest-transport theme, start with the Pacesetter combination and leave space around the trailer. For agricultural support, choose the Demco tender. For a tractor display, Big Roy can stand alone without requiring a long road-truck parking area.
A mixed farm collection can include all three on separate labeled positions. That is a suggested arrangement of individual purchases, not a factory three-model set or a claim that the vehicles are connected to one another.
Match accessories after choosing the main model
Start with 1:64 figures or scenery for proportional consistency, then check actual heights and clearances. A building door, machinery load or implement needs its own fit check. Avoid choosing accessories only because their packaging also says farm.
All three offers are finished collectibles with diecast and plastic construction. Select the agricultural role you want to represent, compare the exact current listing, and budget for scenery only where it contributes to the display.
