LEGO Technic Articulated Tractor - November 2025

Paul B Technic · 2025-11-11T02:46:16Z

This build started life as the LEGO Technic 42121 B-Model, but it has been heavily modified and redesigned into an articulated tractor, something that is compact, functional, and full of character.

Features

HOG (Hand of God) Steering: Smooth and precise control from the top of the cab, making it easy to maneuver the tractor through tight spaces.
Opening Engine Cover: The hood flips open to reveal a working engine connected to the front axle, showing off the mechanical detail inside.
Rear Mounted Lift Point: Designed for versatility, this rear hitch system allows for a range of attachments. I’ll be designing and building several different tools and implements to connect here soon.

Design Notes

Transforming the original 42121 B-model into this tractor was an enjoyable and creative process. The articulation joint adds a lot of realism and play value, and the proportions feel just right for a mid-sized off-road tractor. The color scheme, mostly yellow with black accents and a few pops of red and grey, gives it a rugged industrial look.

I’m really happy with how this one turned out — a compact, functional Technic build with plenty of room for customization and future add-ons. Stay tuned for the next post where I’ll start developing some of those rear attachments.
