Britains 42838: Big Farm John Deere 6109R R/C Tractor, 1:16 Scale

The Britains Big Farm radio control John Deere tractor first came into the series in 2013, which inherited all that is good with the Big Farm range. Only Britains have now installed R/C functionality with a controller offering forwards/backward, left/right function. What you will notice with this range is the tow hitch, lights and sounds feature are all still present.

John Deere 6109R Tractor

If we forget about the R/C function for a moment, let's not forget we still have a replica Britains John Deere 6109R tractor in 1:16 scale, well made from a tough plastic build.

And well the tyres are rubberised for helping the radio control tractor maneuver over all terrain, its equipped with replica wing mirrors, mud guards, exhaust and steps leading to the cab.

What this R/C John Deere tractor CAN'T DO what a push alongBig Farm tractors CAN DO is; there's no opening bonnet, removable cab and detachable counter-weight.

Lights & Sounds

If you're already familiar with the Britains Big Farm tractor series then you'll know all models have a lights and sounds function, with a press of a button to activate the flashing lights and engine sounds.

Well now Britains have carried that function over to their radio control tractor series with the buttons still positioned on the cab roof.

Press the one button for the cab lights to flash on and off, well the second button will make an engine running sound followed by a noisy reversing sound.

Controller

So what do we need to check before going out with the tractor and controller? Well the first thing you need to do is make sure there's one 9V battery installed which powers this 27 MHz controller.

Now switch ON the controller with the switch located between the two joysticks. Make sure the arial is clear and away they go.

To go forwards and backwards, use the left joystick, well the right joystick makes the tractor steer left and right. But of course both joysticks will be used simultaneously to steer the tractor in all directions.

Towing

There's no special R/C farm implements or trailers to match up with this Britains John Deere remote control tractor, all you need is the series of 1:16 scale trailers from the Big Farm range.

That's right, all you have to do is take the Big Farm trailers and implements if they already have one or two and use them - as its fully compatible with the R/C tractors rear tow hitch.

Rest assured the tractor is capable of towing a fully loaded up Big Farm trailer, well still having enough power to ride over rough terrain - in terms of grass and gravel that is.
