Britains 43136: Case IH Optum 300 CVX Tractor, 1:32 Scale

Released in 2016, this model Britains Case IH Optum 300 CVX tractor is only one of three model Case tractors in the 1:32 scale series. Well this one is the Optum model, there's also the Magnum and Maxxum to consider. Britains take care with this manufacturer due to the farm implements also available from the brand, all made in the striking red.

Case IH Optum 300 CVX Tractor Body

Chunky, curvy-looking Case IH Optium tractor with a nicely replicated body featuring all the original exterior detail found on the real life machine.

All areas in red are made from die-cast metal along with the chassis and wheel bars, well the rest is mostly made up of durable plastic.

All wing mirrors, wipers, safety lights, headlights, engine detail, steps and exhaust are all accurately positioned, with the front and rear hitch designed close to the real thing.

Front Hitch/3-Point Rear Hitch

What could would this Britains Case IH Optum 300 CVX tractor be if we weren't able to connect a multitude of toy farm implements and trailers using the rear tow hitch - which is available on this model along with the front hitch.

This front hitch is here to connect front facing farm implements that are not designed to be towed from the rear. Take the mower conditioner for example, here the tractor driver can mow the grass with complete control, well not looking back all the time.

Detachable Cab

Yet another Britains tractor made better with a removable driver's cab. It may seam a small thing, but with a removable cab we can now fix one of the sitting driver's to the seat.

Give the cab a gentle yank to pull the cab off, leaving the interior detail in place. Here we can inspect the original detail - as it would look in the real thing - before positioning a figure behind the wheel.

Then its just a matter of popping the cab back on.

Rolling Wheels with Steering

Push along the Case IH Option tractor as you would with all Britains 1:32 scale series tractors, with no friction powered, push-and-go function setting you back - free rolling wheels allows for complete control with no restrictions.

The front wheels can be steered with a simple left/right turn, well straightening them back up to go forward. When the wheels are turned so does the mud guard, with a bonnet narrowing to allow for the wheels to turn inwards.
