LEGO Technic John Deere 9620R 4WD Tractor Toy 42136 Building Toy - Collectible Model with Trailer, Featuring Realistic Details, Construction Farm Toy for Kids Ages 8+

The John Deere - 42136 - set is fantastic, with playability not only for Technic beginners. The use of the small turntable element (parts 99009 and 99010) is practical. Hence, the placement is ideal to deliver the realistic movement of a 9620R John Deere Tractor. I have been around farm equipment my whole life, and John Deere is a gem in the agricultural economy. I am over the moon to see that The Lego Group has released another licensed farming vehicle set. The 42114 - 6x6 Volvo Articulated Hauler - set was a decent build and one mean machine (IRL), though the overall finished product is not among my top ten (or even 20) Technic set. Now, looking a the possibilities for 42136, I see only an open sky of developing from the original. I have a couple of sets, but I am starting with one and will continue to work on adding more over the next couple of months. So far, I have built the set and expanded the trailer–plus a bit of "bedazzling." Overall, this set is near perfection and is now in my top 10 Technic sets. I have attached a photo of the set with a few touches of my own.

As a kid I always built my own tractors and equipment form our parts bin. My parents surprised me one day with #8281 Mini Tractor. As a kid I loved it as it was the first actual Lego tractor that I had resembling a John Deere. Years later I would buy my first set purchased in a long time… the #42054 Claas Xerion 5000. As a Canadian farmer it didn't quite scratch the itch, as there weren't many tractors of this kind in the area, with most of our tractors being John Deere or Case IH. I enjoyed the build and displayed it proudly nonetheless. Then I saw the release of this set. Having worked on and operated this machine in real life, I was over the moon. I really like all the detail that mirrors the real tractor, classic tan colored seat, the headlights, the articulating point, the Starfire 6000 GPS bubble on the roof sticker. As a kid this would have been a dream, and I'm excited to let my kids play with it one day. As for now it resides in my farm office on display! The only thing I wish they would have included is a little GPS screen like the Claas set had to complete the GPS technology look!
