First Day of Spring!

What a disappointing first day of Spring!! 

I don't know about you, but I was hoping for sunshine and warm weather, maybe even squeeze in a quick trip to the park or golf course, but no. It had to be 40 degrees outside. I hope your vernal equinox was warm and pleasant and that you played in the sand or flew a kite. 

If I could have played outside, this is what I would have played with. If you haven't seen the awesome toys from Bruder then you are seriously missing out. Each piece is unique and interesting, and has tons of working features. I can't wait until my son is big enough so I can justify buying them!

Here are a few of my favorites, follow the links for more details.

Big Farm Toys for Your Little Farmer

I love standing next to farm equipment. Some machines are bigger than you would think, others smaller, but all are impressive and do their part on the farm. Bruder is great at taking those huge machines and bringing them down to a playable 1/16 scale and 3000toys.com is great at delivering them to your doorstep. Your little farmer will be thrilled to play with these tractors and implements!

The Fendt Farmer 209 S tractor is an all-purpose front-loading tractor ready for any job! This expandable tractor features steerable front wheels which operate with the included steering arm, independent suspension on the wheels to navigate uneven terrain, and a trailer hitch that is compatible with all of the Bruder trailers. The frontloader is easily adjustable and can be taken off and replaced with a forklift sold separately (Item 02249).

The Barrel Trailer with Spread Tubes is a wonderful part of Bruder’s farming equipment line. Give your crops every advantage with this modern sprayer used to spread manure. The tank trailer can fit onto any Bruder tractor, and the tank can actually be filled with water and dripped out through the hose. The sprayer arms can be folded up when the trailer is not in use.

The Claas Xerion 5000 is a wonderful addition to the Claas farming equipment line. Just like the real machine, it is possible to simultaneously steer all four wheels. During normal play, all wheels are steered while counter-rotating to achieve the smallest possible turn radius. Another unique feature is the offset driving (crab steering) of the original which can be re-enacted by operating an adjusting mechanism attached to the chassis. The cab also swivels 180 degrees to allow safe driving in both directions. Apart from these features, this tractor stands out from the crowd with its superior details.

The Lemken Semi mounted reversible plow is a plow for the big fields! This reversible plow has 16 blades to turn as much soil as possible. Its wheels can be reversed to change the plow angle, plus it can be easily towed on wheels when not being used. Easily attaches to any Bruder tractor.

Thanks for reading!
