Deutz-Fahr tractor
Manners Transport, the company that operates theDAF XG I modelled, specialises in moving agricultural equipment, such as combine harvesters and tractors. Since I already have a truck that carries a harvester, I decided to build a tractor for the Manners truck. This spurred a search for a suitable example, with a colour scheme that'll look good in combination with the truck, and for which suitable wheels are available. These criteria essentially ruled out New Holland (because I don't like the blue in combination with red and yellow) and Claas (lack of suitable wheel rims in red). John Deere was an option, but I ultimately opted for Deutz-Fahr. I had suitable rims in grey and I could use bright green instead of regular Lego green.
