Inside Tour Competition Entry
by LEGO Ink
This is a tractor I designed for a building 'competition' during the 2014 LEGO Inside Tour. It articulates in the center, and at the trailer hitch. It is designed to meet the current specs of the previous CITY; Farm line of models, so the trailer hitch and tow bar are set at the same heights.
During the competition, we were allowed access to the designers boxes, which I should have gotten pictures of, but they were an entire wall of large drawers with pieces assorted by shape, and color, then function. Far left was basic bricks, then plates/tiles, unique elements, tires and hubs, windows, etc. It was a 20' + wall. It was amazing. Even then, not everything available to designers, was available to us.
The tractor won Third in the 'competition'. It features other aspects such as an over-sized engine, removable roof, side mirrors, exhaust and cooling grates, and lights on the front and rear of the tractor, as well as the trailer.
