Bruder 03099: Case IH Puma CVX 230 Tractor with Kampe Kipper, 1:16 Scale

Not often Bruder release a tractor-trailer combo that matches perfectly, so they've cracked it this time with the red Case IH Puma series tractor with the functional Krampe Kipper tipping trailer, all in 1:16 scale of course. Purchased as standalone models it would cost more, but when bought together there is a little saving to be hand - just as Bruder intended.

Case IH Puma CVX 230 Tractor

Big, chunky Bruder IH Case Puma tractor in 1:16 scale has enough functionality to tie them over with hours of tractor play on the farm, with replica interior and exterior detail to impress.

Finished in a bright red with grey rims makes this a Case model - along with Case IH insignia along the bonnet, with all side mirrors, cab lights, hazard lights and steps leading to the cab accurately portrayed.

Bruder (02225) KRAMPE Halfpipe Trailer

Mulit-purpose big, also chunky red Bruder 02225 Krampe halfpipe tipping trailer in 1:16 scale, it has a tipping up action at multiple stops, with a manually opening rear tailgate to offload.

The tipping up action functions with a hinge on the rear end, well raising the trailer the telescopic arm beneath the trailer will increase in length, before folding back in itself as it levels out.

Adjust the Hitch

Well the Krampe Kipper trailer is not in use well resting on its folding stabiliser leg, take this opportunity to lower the height-adjustable hitch, then maneuver the tractor's hitch beneath the tow bar.

Once you've found the position, get out of the tractor, raise the adjustable tow hitch through the tow bar hoop to lift it off its stabilising leg, then clip on tight before towing away - all this can be achieved hands free.

Steering the Tractor

Steering the big Bruder Case IH Puma tractor as a standalone model makes for a lot of fun, but with a big - sometimes fully loaded - trailer to tow it can make it challenging.

You see moving in straight lines or taking wide corners is a breeze, but maneuvering those bends at a tighter radius will become more difficult with a trailer - but rest assured its a skill requiring practice.

Opening Bonnet

Towing big, heavy loads in the Krampe tipping trailer puts a strain on the tractor, so they will need to access the engine block via the opening bonnet.

Detailed engine makes for a lot of fun playing mechanic; fiddling around doing repairs and maintenance in the garage extends play on the ground - not just driving the tractor or towing the tipping trailer.

Driver in the Cab

Hand it over to your Bruder figure to maneuver this tractor-trailer combo around the yard or on the road, with him or her sitting on the seat in the cab.

Realistic role play is often centred around the cab with opening doors on hinges, along with big door handles to grab onto - plus steps that lead up to the cab the figure will need to climb up.
