Britains 42423: Big Farm New Holland T7060 Tractor, 1:16 Scale

Britains 2008 released New Holland tractor in the Big Farm series, with two detachable parts for the hitch and counter-wight. As one of the first models to be released, the box was opened so the child could test the lights and sounds well the batteries were installed. Now over 10 years later the feature is still present, but with more implements and trailers to add.

New Holland T7060 Tractor

Only the shape and size of this model can be associated with that belonging to New Holland, well it features all the exterior decor seen on the real thing, its not without its fun functions.

Well the counter-weight and hitch are explained below, and so are the removable cab and opening bonnet, let's not forget we get steering with free rolling wheels.

Detachable Counter-Weight/Tow Hitch

Not fixed out of the box but does need connecting ASAP. The detachable counter-weight and tow hitch are removed for space saving, but will need connecting before both parts are lost.

If a trailer or implements comes with the tractor then add the tow hitch, and well the counter-weight is for show only, its still has a part in role play well balancing the tractor with heavy loads.

Lights & Sounds

A feature that is included on all big 1:16 scale tractors only is the option to use the lights and sounds.

Now for the sake of the rest of the family the tractor is fully functional without the need of this noisy feature, so if required simply remove the batteries.

But once used you get flashing lights and engine sounds with reversing.

Remove Cab, Open Bonnet

Standard features with all Big Farm tractors is the ability to remove the driver's cab and open the bonnet to inspect the engine - the opening bonnet helps with extended play when repairing the tracor.

Removing the cab does serve a purpose; once removed its possible to steer the wheels well using the miniature steering wheel - we can also keep the cab fixed well reaching through the back window.
