Heady Stuff

this one. Rarely do Town/City models feature much more than opening doors and a smiling mini-figure.

Not today though, as previous bloggee Reddish Blue‘s John Deere X9 1100 combine harvester features as many – if not more – working features than many Technic sets ten times the size.

Suggested by a reader, Reddish’s combine packs in a height-and-tilt-adjustable feeder (via HOG controls) driven by the front wheels and selectable via a mechanical switch, a hinged header with rotating cutterbars, HOG rear-wheel-steering and oscillating suspension, an adjustable unloading auger, and an adjustable chopper tile angle. And we don’t even know what that last one means.

There’s also a front track option, rotating ladder, opening sides and cabin, and a smiling mini-figure. This is a Town/City creation after all.

There much more to see, including a link to building instructions, at Reddish Blue’s ‘John Deere X9 1100 with HDF35 header’ album, and you can head there via the link above.
