Brilliant. Great colors - matches the Claas machines, doesn't it?

[Technic Gearhead]

8274 Junior - I love it! Very well done!

[Zerobricks]

Thats really clever and cute

[Rockbrick]

This one so far is the only one I see as a set lego would produce....

:thumbup:

[Zerobricks]

I just noticed how cleverly the head engages when lowered and disengages when raised. Thats smart!

[TheItalianBrick]

one of the best so far! love it, plus color scheme is wonderful! COngratulations!!

Really nice model and as Zblj pointed out nice technique on the head.

If I'd give a little suggestion on this nice model is to move the LA control to the side and steering on top instead of on the back. Model is fine if you don't though.

[BondemandClausen]

I like your mini combine harvester, Claas style. And as a farmer i must say that it is the most innovative harvester i have seen in many years, with two unloading augers. I don't think it is ever seen before !! Normally there is only one on the left hand side. Must increase the efficiency.

Thanks your kind words guys!

Yes, colors based Claas but I dont have enough white parts, so some white missing

LA knob places fine and easy to reach but yes HoG steering maybe more comfortable. Thanks for advice

nicely done! contains the same functions as the 8274 - but with 5-6 times less parts! ;)

As a fan of agricultural equipment, I like what you've done, but:

- As already said, I have never seen a combine with two discharge spouts, I think you should drop one

- as a result, you have more pieces to spend, maybe add a fake engine :)

[Edwin Korstanje]

Stunning entry .

Great Looks, colors and functions.

Love it :thumbup:

[Jeroen Ottens]

Very nice model.

Apart from the other recommendations I would also spend some bricks on closing the sides. It looks a bit open to me now.

LA knob is fine yeah, I mentioned it in combination with the HoG steering, since those 2 axles would cross and easiest fix would to be move LA control to the side, but like I said, just a minor thing, seems perfectly playable the way it is.

One of the reasons why this is actually two pipes. I think i will remove right side and then i gain extra bricks for sides

[dropship]

I registered just to write that this looks awesome!

[Doc_Brown]

Very sweet! It looks official! Great job.

[kieran]

Very sweet! It looks official! Great job.

agree this is amazing and really does look like a small set you could go a get the at the toy shop

[skriblez]

Great entry!

[Paul B Technic]

That is very cute, well done.

[barman]

This is one of the best entry's!

Very nice design.

I agree with the others, that removing one of the discharge sprouts and perhaps remove one of the four blade on each side of the combine (use the liftarm rotor 3 blade thin) to reduce parts and with that make a HOG steering and make the side of the truck more closed. These should be nice improvements to an already wonderful MOC.
