Looking forward (to see it) BTW my update you can see here since you liked shorter and thinner chassis

UPDATE TIME!

This update fixes some issues with the tractor, and the attachment decision has almost been made. I have narrowed it down to 2 choices:

@BrickbyBrickTechnic Slurry slurry slurry slurry slurry!!!!

And this one here:

As well, @Aventador2004 said I should change the rear lights. So, which look better?

Aventador's suggestion:

Both look pretty good. Please give some input.

Thank you!

I think they look fine both ways, just without bending sideways. The bottom are more realistic, due to the top ones facing downward, unlike the real thing. The lights on the saddle tra c face directly outward, not down. If you find a solution, without flimsyness, it will work.

That makes sense. Will take that into consideration. Now I want upright lights but down angled ends.

UPDATE TIME!

This strnd of the saddletrac tproject is done. A lawn mower has been made from the remaining pieces from 42054, and the tractor is done. Construction for @Paknaloid suggestion of a slurry will start sunday or next weekend.

@Aventador2004 I was able to functionalize the rear 3 point hitch! Check it out:

Here is the whole thing, sorry for pic quality:

I also fixed the rear lights, sorry for pic quality:

This is looking wonderful! And yet another reason to get 42054 - what is this now, an E model?!

Thank you! Yes, it is an E model- though I won't be stopping here.

Got to say this looks very nice!

Except the steering selector stickers wonkiness...

Nice work. Should have been the b model.

Saddle Trac ended interesting, but I'm waiting to see trailer construction. I hope that everything would be LEGO made

You'll see what is dooable. There is always possible to make something different than original plan when parts are missing, so look at this as challenge for your creativity

Yeah... I still don't have the complete inventory for this project. Will have to finish my supercar first anyway

I have applied stickers for 7 years, on about 36 different sets.

Sorry for off topic.

Do not rush, it is a hobby after all. With time you'll find optimal solution.
