Bruder 03199: Case IH Optum 300 CVX Tractor with Krampe Halfpipe, 1:16 Scale

Released 2017, so this guarantees all the latest features are included; including the removable wheels, height adjustable tow hitch and compatible front mount. But this is not your average standalone model, nor is it available with any trailers, Bruder have made sure they get a matching red tractor/trailer set from both Case IH and Krampe respectively.

Bruder Case IH Optum 300 CVX Tractor

Well its equipped with two opening cab doors, free rolling wheels with steering, rear tow hitch and front mount with counter-weight, there's much interior and exterior decor to admire.

Inside the cab the layout is replicated from the real thing, well the exterior decor is originally seen on the real life Case IH Optum too; side mirrors, exhaust, steps and lights are all positioned in the correct spot well the steering makes for accurate maneuverability.

Krampe Halfpipe Trailer

Multi-functional, all purpose Krampe halfpipe tipping trailer sits on a twin-axle with an automatically opening tailgate when the trailer is tipped up.

The tipping action on this Bruder 02225 halfpipe tipping trailer imitates the real life implement, with a single, telescopic bar that folds up within itself, well reaching up high to tip out the contents.

Adjust Rear Tow Hitch

As we have a Krampe Kipper halfpipe tipping trailer in the set you can bet your bottom dollar the functional height-adjustable tow hitch will sure get used over and over again.

Connecting the trailer happens by finding the level of the trailer tow bar, then by winding it down the hoop of the trailer will slot perfectly over the hook of the hitch.

Access Cab to Steer

Many reasons to access the interior of the driver's cab, one being steering the front-axle with use of the steering wheel inside the cabin.

Another and certainly the most interesting, is the ability to sit a Bruder figure on the seat to imitate driving. Access to the cab happens through the roof hatch to extend the steering rod through, or open both cab doors with steps for the figure to climb up.

Open Bonnet to view Engine

Towing all the heavy loads would take its toll on the engine, so in that regard they need to open up the bonnet to access the engine block.

Only for show, and only imitation work can be made on the engine detail but it makes for more play value well in this case, one minute they are the farmer, then driving, now they have to fix the engine.

Detachable Front Weight

Way out in front of the Bruder Case IH tractor is a detachable counter-weight fixed to the front mount, and well in real life it counter-acts the weight in the trailer, here its just for show as the Bruder model is nicely balanced as it is.

So well it won't be able to balance the tractor being only an imitation weight, its simply a placeholder for when you bring in a front mountable farm implement from the Bruder Professional range.
