The picture was some pages after the Technic sets, we know about. Of course I can say this only for the German catalog...

I think, you're right. This was my thought, as I had seen the word transporter... Martin

Yes there are many versions of snow blowers. Here are two examples: (Sorry,for this big picture.) best regards Martin

Sorry, it's all I could remember. I hope my brain had not mixed it with other informations, I get on this day... Martin

I think you're right. Looks identical. It is controled by an 12 tooth double bevel gear in the wood transporter... Martin

I'd seen a picture of it in the official print with all the confidential images. You know, this sheet of paper for the lego dealers, where most of the confidential pictures came from. The model will be released in March! No, the turntable is a new one. Martin

I think the whole dimensions are nearly the same, but not so much pieces all in all. If I remember exactly, the crane is operated by LA's. The new steering CV joint is used for operating the LA's too. Same wheels...good question. I would say yes with 70 percent correctnes. And yes you're right: 3 axles. But I'm not sure, if there where dual rear wheels. again 70 percent for yes. The time was to short for watching all the details on the photo. I can try to get more informations... Martin

Hi Guys, I didn't read the whole thread. Sorry for that. I've seen a picture of the "Holztransporter" today. But I didn't had a chance to make a photo. Sorry again. The front looks similar to front of 8285. Not exactly of course. But it's black too and the geometry is also like at 8285. The rest of the truck is similar to 8285 too. Instead of the tow arm, there is an crane and part for the wood like at the trailer of 8049. All in all I think, that there is two much space between the front and first axle of the rear part. And I've seen a new part on it. It's a new small turntable - based on a 24 tooth gear. The connection is like at the bigger turntables, but it's only space for one liftarm. long pins won't work there. Maybe there are axleholes?! Martin
