Tractors

8296 to be added

Tractors are a natural choice for Technic. It is easy to make a wide variety of implements for whatever purpose suits you. The implements shown here are the primary for each model, but each tractor came with ideas for many others.

Most tractors feature front wheel steering, and one has an articulated chassis. All feature farm implements, most of which move, and most of which can be replaced with many options. All of the implements can be raised and lowered. A couple even have working engines.

8284 is technically an alternate model in the USA, but is a fantastic tractor and far superior to the primary model for this set. 8296 is also an alternate model.

My favorite? Probably the original (851). It is elegant but functional.
