Big Country Toys: Tractor with Implements, 1:20 Scale

As Big Country Toys series increases in size, it was only a matter of time before we had a multi-functional farm tractor, compatible with the whole range in many ways. In developing this tractor, Big Country made sure its was a true 1:20 scale, they made sure it had the added bonus of a front loader and a rear hitch for towing their farm trailers.

Tractor

Medium size, replica 1:20 scale Country Toys tractor, and well its the only model in the series, this one play's an important role on the farm.

Big, chunky rubberized tires combined with free-rolling wheels allows unrestrictive play, with intricate detail on the exterior and interior of the driver's cab.

Well this driver's cabin is not accessible, nor does it allow for a driver to be fitted, the tractor does have a rear hitch compatible with the Country Toys trailers.

Working front loader

Ready to go functional front loader is attached and does not require fixing before play. This is important in two ways; first there's no working out how it fits, second, reduces the odds of damaging it.

If we take a look at similar toy tractors with a working front loader, you'll soon realize this one is less functional, but don't let this discourage you.

Because that's a good thing, there's less to go wrong and its easy to use. It only moves on the main joint, with no movement on the center links - that's until we inspect the attachment where it pivots.

2 Attachments

You have a functional front loader so there must be an attachment to lift up loads and drop them off, and you get all that with the bucket attachment, but bonus, there's a fork attachment too.

That means the front loader allows them to switch between the fork or bucket attachment with a quick clip on, clip off action. Either way, with both attachments fixed, there is pivoting action.

They may associate with the bucket attachment more, so will use this one more often, but the fork attachment is developed especially to pick up round bales - where the bucket attachment cannot.

Single Round Bale

The Big Country Toys series has rounded bales you can add later, but for now they've provided one in this complete Big Country tractor set.

What you'll first notice about this bale is it has holes that go right through, but don't despair, they serve a fun purpose.

In fact, these holes are there so the attachment on the tractor's front loader can poke through it and allow them to carry the bales more securely.
