Pushing Logs

The LEGO Technic 42157 John Deere 948L-II Skidder is one of the more unusual sets of recent times. Which means it can make an unusual B-Model too. Cue this delightfully odd ‘Forestry X-treme Off-Roader’ by Flickr’s Tung Pham, which redeploys the pieces from 42157 to create a unique log-pushing machine.

With a raising and slewing bulldozer, articulated steering, oscillating suspension, and a rotating pneumatically unfurling crane, Tung’s alternate is packed with technical functionality, and there are more brilliant images to see – plus a link to building instructions – at his ‘42157 – Forestry X-treme Off-Roader’ album.
