LEGO Technic John Deere 9700 Forage Harvester 42168 (9+ Yrs)

I love Legos and enjoyed when my son was building them! I’m a big fan of the Technic kits and bought this John Deere combine kit as soon as I saw it available! It was a fun build using the Builder App for the first time!

Easy assembly for my 6 year old nephew.Easy to follow instructions.

Good build with lots of moving gears that are satisfying to see work together at the end of the build.

Finally again a Technic set that is not some kind of muscle car. And you can't go wrong with John Deere farm equipment. Interesting but not too challenging build. Limited amount of stickers that enhance the look and are not just decorative. Great functionality and playability. Excellent price for the size of the set, especially given that it is licensed!

My husband’s father was the design engineer behind this piece of equipment. His name was John Hennen. If you look upper the design patent his name is on it.

I was given a voucher for Lego for my birthday , I normally I go for the bigger builds , but fancied the look of this , compared to the bigger sets its a smaller build but still entertaining to do and interesting too. Loved the end result , and have put it on my shelf , for the price its a good kit and would recommend

Much like the John Deere tractor 42136 set, this is another hit! Easy to build with excellent moving parts. I especially enjoyed how they put a real Lego car-seat for the driver's position, as this allows the user to place a minifig to drive the harvester!

I haven’t built Legos in years. I bought this as a refresher seeing how Lego has changed since I last built them. This set had a lot of little pieces, some that took work to fit right. The build took me 4 hours non-stop. Tiny stickers are difficult to align and maybe 3 or 4 of the instructions could have been better explained. I wish I had known to check the lifting mechanism of the blade earlier than the end. Something got missed but not worth backtracking to find out. Still a good build and display. I’ll be back doing more Lego soon.

A better choice of name would be silage harvester or silage cutter. terms may be regional. Interesting and enjoyable build great price

It’s a very nice set I wish it was bigger had power functions and had a forage wagon to go with it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Although the end result of the product was fun and really cool to see a Lego toy actually be moveable and workable I do not agree with the 9 plus listed on the box. It took several days with an hour or two at a time to get this together and several times I had issues snapping pieces into place. This is for sure ,ore for adults. Either way I love the product and that Lego keeps innovating. I am going to take it all apart and have my nephew who is studding engineering put it together

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a really fun Lego kit. This harvester looked pretty accurate. The instructions were easily to follow and colorful. It was a fun short project to work on. It has quiet moving parts.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Kids had a blast putting the tractor together. Has a bunch of small parts but the worked together to complete it. Once together it was pretty durable. Definitely looks just like the one on the farm.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It was up to my husband and I to put it together with some help from our four year twins but it was a Fun family activity. They were so delighted with the moving parts and functionality of the harvester. A quality timeless piece that was a fun challenge but fulfilling when it was all done! Another hit for our farming loving boys from LEGO!
