Operating Features
- Grain Head Operation: The front-mounted grain head is designed to simulate wheat and grain harvesting. Push the body of the harvester forward to activate the gear linkage, causing the grain head to rotate and simulate cutting action.
- Manual Steering: The rear wheels can be steered using a knob located on top of the harvester. Rotate the knob to adjust the direction of the rear wheels, mimicking the steering mechanism of a real farm vehicle.
- Rotatable Unloading Pipe: The unique smoke stack design (non-working, for decor) includes a pipe that can rotate 360 degrees. This feature allows for simulated grain unloading.
- Openable Hood: The hood of the harvester can be opened to reveal simulated internal mechanisms, adding to the realistic detail of the model.
- Simulated Cockpit: The cockpit features a detailed interior, including a steering wheel and seat, allowing for imaginative role-play.
