Dug out one of my old own design models, must be Well over 25 years old now! Can probably tell it was based on the early fastrac.
has fully functional front and rear lift, puh, and pto and SCV’s
Couple of other construction models in the collection -
My big cat dozer.
Excavator, it was a kit but I modified it and made all the functions motorised.
Put the bucket off the new project next to it for scale ?

Youngest son competes, I'm just the
He's won the local Junior championship this year, but is moving up to the 'senior' class which is a different kettle of fish. It's my excuse to get away from the farm and spend a weekend tinkering, and he gets a buzz from sitting at 76mph, about 40mm above the tarmac.

There’s plenty on YouTube that have been done but I’ve not come across anyone showing how to do it.
If you’ve never come across Jacks farm on YouTube it’s well worth a look, I think he must be sponsored by Bruder.

I’ve got a smaller version with a hotplate on it, it will soon boil a kettle. Have not tried suggested rocket fuel (go cart tyre) in it yet though......
Here’s an old prototype photo tacked onto an old chair as a stand!!
