Siku 1673: Deutz Fahr Agrotron 265 Tractor with Straumann Streublitz Spreader, Super

Released in 2015, this set comes before later Siku tractor/trailer sets which reaches a more interesting range of farm implements needed for various jobs. Matching up the bright green colour of the Deutz tractor with that of the Straumann Streublitz Spreader is a good start, so now you have equipment to fertilise the crops before they can grow.

Big, Small Deutz Fahr Tractor

Yep, you read that right, well small in size its still a miniature replica Deutz tractor that packs a powerful punch out in the fields.

For that reason Siku have matched it with the manure spreader as a tough tractor with a lot of strength needed to tow the big manure load.

Straumann Streublitz Spreader

How this Straumann Streublitz spreader works is just this; fill the spreader with manure mixed up with hay to create a dry texture for spreading - to empty contents the rear tailgate lifts up.

Follow a path out on the field to spread the manure before you can begin growing crops. What happens is the manure is spread from the rear, so keep to the path so the whole field gets a coating.

Rolling Wheels

Free rolling wheels on both the Deutz tractor and the Straumann Streublitz spreader will allow them to push the set forwards or back, with nothing preventing this simple action.

Well all four wheels on the tractor freely roll around, the twin-axle on the trailer will allow for better manoeuvrability, due to the positioning of the axle to the distance of the rear to hitch.

Tow & Hitch

Talking of the rear tow hitch, simple as it is; not only can you tow the manure spreader well attached to the tractor hitch, but be sure to haul any corresponding implement that is needed later.

You've fertilised the field so what could happen next is ploughing/cultivating before collecting the crops once they've grown out later on - so you might need a plough or similar implement to finish the job.
