Britains 42425: Big Farm John Deere 6830S Tractor with Dual Wheels, 1:16 Scale

Its hard to believe the Big Farm series dates back more than 10 years, with this model released in mid 2008. This time Britains (or TOMY) really stepped it up a notch with the a big John Deere tractor wrapped around in dual wheels with functional front loader. As we have a rear tow hitch present, why not add to it again with a compatible farm implement.

John Deere 6830S tractor

The Britains Big Farm 6803 series tractor is similar but not identical to the other model in the range, with this offering a more robust look, with a rounded cab and chunkier feel.

Well the front loader cannot be removed and the dual wheels are detachable, let's not forget this tractor still has a removable cab, opening bonnet and real active steering.

Usually when we talk about scale replica having lights - and well just for show - but that's not true with this model as it has real lights around the cab with engine sounds.

Dual Wheels

You're working on the field but you keep on getting bogged down because of the wet soggy ground. Well not anymore as the dual wheels will put a stop to this with an extra set of wheels making up for the shortfall.

As this is a John Deere tractor, it only makes sense for the dual wheels to match with yellow rims, but there's no removing of the original wheels as the dual wheels all clip onto the outer rims of the originals.

Now the wheels are connected, rest assured the active steering is still possible, we can still tow farm implements behind, and so does the front loader still function as normal.

Front Loader

What makes this model more interesting than similar ones is its fully functional front loader, and well not detachable, this feature would be used the most.

The front loader functions like most others, with lower positioned links helping the loader make an up and down movement - well they simultaneously use the pivoting bucket.

Well using the front loader, it makes sense to raise it well they're driving, and when not in use its best practice to lower the loader to the ground when tucked away in the tractor shed for safety.

Pivoting Bucket Attachment

Attached to that functional front loader must have a fully functional attachment, and so it does with this standard, but 'get the most out of it' bucket.

This big, wide large bucket can be used to scoop up anything off the ground well raising the front loader to tip the load into a trailer or in a pile.

To help use the front loader with bucket attachment in tandem, the bucket has a pivoting action to help scoop and offload without moving the loader.
