TOMY owns ERTL?

So this is probably a noob realizing the obvious, but I was browsing through the far section of the toy isle at Walmart, you know the section that has the adventure wheels and what not. and spotted a few John Deere trucks and farm equipment. They looked like pretty good casts, for example something like these.

I started collecting just a few months ago so I didn’t want jump into another scale other than the 1:64. so started looking around the box to find the accurate scale, there wasn’t any(1:48 would be my guess or close). But I did notice a licensed by TOMY on the box. With the other items from Tomy getting soo much attention on the site, how come these dont have that much of a following?
