From toys to real machines, small to enormous, and green to… well… green, there are some very impressive John Deere collections out there. Take a look at some of the ones we discovered.
“I’m a John Deere Boy”
This photo came from a blog written by a boy who was 7 years old at the time. He calls himself a “John Deere Boy” because of his passion for Deere and the fact that his grandfather has a farm with John Deere tractors. These toy tractors were given to him by his uncle, who also helped him set them up for the picture and cut miniature logs to fit in the back of his toy truck. “My Daddy even has a John Deere mower, but he hasn’t bought us any tractors yet. I hope he will someday, then I’ll really be a John Deere Boy.” – I think it is safe to say, he already really is a John Deere Boy.
