Paul B Technic

Wow, that is a very cool build.

Review - LEGO Technic 42213 - Ford Bronco SUV https://paulbtechnic.blogspot.com/2025/08/review-lego-technic-42213-ford-bronco.html

Thank you for the feedback, I am going to redesign this.

That review said what i think a lot of people also think, it simply stinks.

A totally new storage and display setup for me :) https:/paulbtechnic.blogspot.com/2025/07/a-new-era-for-my-lego-technic.html

The motorised coupler is an interesting idea, but I feel rerouting it makes more sense.

It is becoming more of a common thing... We have had to install the screw in an AC remote, in a locked server room, in a professional office... 0.0001% chance of a kid ever being in there, let alone opening the remote and eating the AAA batteries.

Excellent work and a great level of detail.

LEGO Technic 42209 - Mod - Forest Rake Attachment This is my latest attachment for LEGO Technic set 42209, Volvo L120 Front End Loader. This is a rear mounted forest rake. This attaches to my standard rear lifting mount, making it fully compatible with the rest of my MFET (Multi Function Equipment Trailer) system and allowing for quick changes between tools. As can be seen in the photos below, this can be raised and lowered as needed, when raised, it can be moved between work areas, without having to disconnect it.

That was a great review and after watching it, this is a must buy, just to build some c models.

LEGO Technic 42209 - Mod - Field Plough Attachment This is my latest attachment for LEGO Technic set 42209, Volvo L120 Front End Loader. This is a rear mounted field plough. This attaches to my standard rear lifting mount, making it fully compatible with the rest of my MFET (Multi Function Equipment Trailer) system and allowing for quick changes between tools. As can be seen in the photos below, this can be raised and lowered as needed, when raised, it can be moved between work areas, without having to disconnect it.

I have found a great C model of this and have improved it and repurposed it, using more of the parts. https://paulbtechnic.blogspot.com/2025/07/mod-spotlight-turning-42197-tow-truck.html

That is very cool and I love how high it goes.

That has some crazy levels of detail...

Other than the $10 set, I will be waiting for the 2h2026 sets, based on this information.

LEGO Technic 42209 - Mod - Road Roller Attachment Another day, another custom attachment — and this one brings some serious weight to the back end of the Volvo L120! Introducing the Road Roller Attachment — part of my ongoing series of mods for the 42209 Volvo L120 Front End Loader. This unit connects via my standard rear lifting mount, making it fully compatible with the rest of my MFET (Multi Function Equipment Trailer) system and allowing for quick changes between tools. Aesthetic Twist: Black & White Instead of sticking with the usual yellow-and-black Volvo palette, I decided to go with a black and white colour theme this time. It gives the roller a clean, industrial look that stands apart from the loader itself — and honestly, it pops. This shift also makes it easier to visually separate attachment functions during play or display. Built for Play and Function The roller drum spins freely, making it great for imaginative play and realistic construction scenes. The rear lifting mechanism lifts and lowers the roller smoothly, using the built-in controls of the L120. It’s wide and stable enough to visually suggest real surface compaction while keeping the part count low. This attachment really rounds out the attachments I have built (pun intended), giving the Volvo a role beyond digging and lifting. Now, it can pave and prep surfaces too! Compatible. Modular. Clean. Whether you’re a Technic builder or someone who loves the modularity of MOCs and mods, this road roller slots in perfectly with the 42209 MOD system. It’s satisfying to see all the pieces come together in a way that balances form, function, and fun. https://paulbtechnic.blogspot.com/2025/07/lego-technic-42209-mod-road-roller.html

Well I finally tracked down this set, wow, I am impressed. It has given me the same level of joy as 8837 did back in 1992. Review: https://paulbtechnic.blogspot.com/2025/07/review-lego-technic-42144-material.html

That is very cool. The colours work really well.

This is very cool.

That is very impressive.

A large scale grader would be awesome.

It will be interesting to see how they make this work.

LEGO Technic 42209 - Mod - Rear Mount Reel Mower MK2 Another day, another upgrade! Continuing the expansion of rear-mounted tools for the 42209 Volvo L120 Front End Loader, I’m excited to introduce the Reel Mower Attachment MK2 — a compact, road-ready, and fully functional mowing unit designed to work seamlessly with my rear lifting attachment system. Realism Meets Road Function Inspired by traditional push-style reel mowers, the MK2 version brings both functionality and improved mobility to your LEGO Technic builds. This updated version now features rear wheels, allowing the attachment to be towed across roads or terrain without damaging the mower deck — adding a new layer of play and transport realism. The Reel Mower connects to the L120 using my rear lifting attachment mount, meaning it can be easily raised or lowered for working or transport modes. It also maintains full compatibility with my rear lifting attachment mount, keeping it modular and easy to swap out, in this case by removing the two Orange pins. Key Features Rear Wheels for Road Transport – Now equipped with a dual-wheel setup, allowing the attachment to roll freely behind the L120 when not in use. Rear Lift Compatible – Designed specifically for the custom rear lifting attachment on the 42209, allowing full lifting functionality. Floating Reel Deck – The mower deck pivots freely to follow uneven LEGO terrain, simulating real-world mowing dynamics. Technic Reel Detail – Built using a simulated rotating reel made from Technic elements, for an authentic look and feel. Strong, Lightweight Build – Reinforced with liftarms and Technic panels in lime green for durability and high visibility. Quick Hitch System – Swaps in seconds using my rear lifting attachment mount for 42209 mods. Use Scenarios From mowing LEGO city parks to grooming the greens of a mini golf course, the Reel Mower MK2 brings landscaping to life. Its compact footprint and working-style design make it a perfect addition for roleplay involving councils, contractors, or farm crews. Whether driving it down a LEGO street or getting to work on the lawn, the Reel Mower MK2 brings a new layer of realism and play to your 42209.

I would be "disappointed but not surprised" if that was the case...

As "Monster Jam Grave Digger Fire And Ice" are two different trucks, it will be interesting to see how they "mash" the two together. Fire Ice Monster Jam Sparkle Smash - Colours will be interesting...
