About Us
Currently, Scale Model Toys produces limited runs
for equipment manufactures and regional farm toy dealers.
Scale Model Toys has been manufacturing miniature agricultural tractors and implements since 1978. In the past 45 years we have grown to where we are today: The only remaining American manufacturer of replica farm toys for the agricultural Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM).
Our current products include:
- Modern & antique pedal tractors
- 1:8 scale collectible tractors
Scale Model Toys are available through farm equipment dealerships and regional farm stores.
Scale Model Toys is privately owned by our founder, Joe Ertl, and is a division of Joseph L. Ertl Inc. We have no affiliation with Joe's previous family business (The Ertl Company).
In 1999, Joe was inducted into the National Farm Toy Hall of Fame. As a businessman, Joe is committed to keeping jobs in the Dyersville community. Therefore, we are proud to say that all of our products are Made In America.
Scale Model Toys, as well as our sister company, Dyersville Die Cast, have been ISO 9000:2000 quality certified manufacturers since 1999.
