David Pullen describes all the baler and combine models produced by Britains since they were first added to its product range, and provides details of their development. As well as the standard models he gives details and photographs of rare and prototype ones.

Britains launched its first model baler in the late 1960s, and first combine ten years later – receiving the UK Toy of the Year award for the latter in 1978. Britains has now produced over 60 baler and combine models or variations from leading farm machinery manufacturers such as Bamfords, Case IH, Farmhand, John Deere, Krone, Massey-Ferguson, New Holland, Vermeer and Vicon.

The bulk of David’s book is a catalogue describing the main features, differences, issue dates and codes of each model produced. Each is illustrated with six colour photographs showing the model from different angles and the issue packaging.

The book is very similar in presentation to David’s previous Britains Model Tractors 1948-1998
