One Man Went To Mow

LEGO’s new 42168 John Deere 9700 Forage Harvester recreates a machine designed to cut enormous fields of crops. But what if your pasture is rather… smaller?

Previous bloggee damjan97PL / damianPLE has the answer, having deconstructed his 42168 set to create this humble lawn tractor, complete with working steering and a mower that rotates when lowered.

Building instructions are available and there’s more of Damian’s ride-on mower to see at both Eurobricks and Bricksafe. Now we just need him to deconstruct this to build an even smaller push-along mower for us here at TLCB Towers…

Lego Technic Reform Metrac Mower

This brilliant-looking buggy is in fact a Reform Metrac lawn mower, and it’s one of the most well-engineered Technic creations of the year.

Built by Anto of Eurobricks, the little Reform is packed with Technic functions, including all-wheel-steering (with front-only and crab options too), all-wheel-drive, twin lifting power take-offs for the mower attachments, pendular suspension, and a working four-cylinder engine.

You can see all of the details at the Eurobricks forum here, plus you can see the mower in action via the video below.

Mower

The Elves who survived yesterday’s smushings had settled down to their quiet life of pointless bickering, interspersed with the occasional punch up. Then a triumphant Elf returned from BrickShelf, driving this lawnmower. Damianple’s creation has a battery box and XL motor hidden in its grass box, plus working steering and whirling blades. Only a swift intervention from Mr. Airhorn left us with any research staff at all. Readers often suggest models to us but please don’t recommend more mowers: we’ll run out of workers too quickly!
