AMAZING

This was the first Technic kit I've built in a very long time. Everything went together as it should and was not difficult at all. Follow the diagrams and it will go easy. Pay close attention to the routing and plumbing of the hoses. Enjoy the build
I would recommend this to a friend!

Fun after completed but was missing lots of part

It was a fun set after completing but building it was a pain because it was missing parts and it wasn't like 1 or 2 it was a ton so the set took much longer to complete after having to order all the missing pieces
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Fun Build

The build was fun for the most part. I was only missing one piece, but it wasn't critical to keeping the building together. The issue I had was the tubes. It wasn't clear where come of the tubes connected in the 3D schematic. I zoomed and twisted the image around to find figure it out, but it was still difficult. It would have been helpful if the tubes were red, green, yellow. Instead of the standard black and gray. I must have crossed some tubes because the crane doesn't stay in the up position and the claw opens after a few minutes.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This was a fun challenging build! I took it very methodically while building the airlines and pump mechanism which was rewarding when it all worked correctly! As a fan of all sorts of tractors, this is a fantastic addition to my collection!

I have made many Lego Technic Model sets over the years and this one seems to pack all the characteristics and traits that makes a Lego Technic Model so special. From the realistic scale details to the functionality and playability there is virtually nothing missing to make this the perfect Lego Technic Model. I did have some challenges with the arrangement of the pneumatic tubes but like others mentioned it just requires extra concentration and studying the directions. Once finished it was a great feeling to see everything function properly. Great job again on this one Lego! Highly recommend!

I bought this for my nephew so he could have something to do while he’s at my home. He was thoroughly impressed and enjoyed building it.
