LEGO John Deere 948L-II Skidder
John Deere is best known for its farm equipment, but the 948L-II Skidder wasn't made for plowing fields. Instead, it was designed by loggers for loggers and appears here in LEGO Technic form. This 1,492-piece set is highly detailed, with working steering, 4-wheel drive, pneumatic functions including a moveable blade and 3-action claw (used in real life to move logs to and fro), a rotating seat, and a moving engine. When complete, it measures over 8" high, 21" long, and 7.5" wide, a formidable size for shelf display.
