This is the Farmall 544 Gas Tractor with Loader from Spec-Cast. It features a Narrow front body and is excellently cast in 1/16 scale. The item number is ZJD-1701.
It is mostly constructed of Diecast metal, with a few plastic parts. The wheels are made of a rubber like plastic and feature realistic tread, along with great hub detailing.
The front loader has several hay forks, but it also comes with an attachable shovel, making it very versatile.

The loader arm moves up and down and the shovel tilts. Both have authentic hydraulics and can be posed in any position.
This model features open sides, allowing for a great view of the engine. The two-toned engine is incredibly detailed.

You can also see several logos on the side as seen here, as well as on the front grill and the rear of the tractor.

As you can see the gears, pedals, gauges and drivers' seat are very realistic. This model also sports fully functioning steering.
This particular tractor has a swinging bar hitch, and the bar really does move from left to right.
Even the undercarriage was given time and thought. It is nicely detailed and is almost entirely metal.
This is an excellent example of the quality and exemplarily detail you can expect from Spec-Cast.
