I was looking for a remote-controlled model that can be easily operated in the apartment. Now I have become definitely find. Impressive is the superb craftsmanship of the John Deere miniature. The finish is perfect succeeded no cheap stickers disturb the overall visual impression. The rock-solid metal construction promises a long life of the vehicle - even in the merciless hands of children Siku tractor is not too fast to the agricultural machinery workshop. Everything fits, from detailed cockpit to the solid rubber tires. Only a small farmer who sits behind the wheel, I miss a little bit ... Technically, the tractor is working properly. The speed is continuously adjustable, the steering can be very sensitively deal excellently. The top speed is friendly furniture and realistic - a tractor is just not a race car ... but no bike. Only a very boorish driving style can lead to a collision with the antique walnut secretary. A clash with the inventory but will most likely not cause significant damage. Class is also the infrared remote control module. All functions of the tractor, you can use this modern design part. By pressing the Siku logo you turn on the unit, via push button goes forward or backward with the steering wheel controls to the left or right. With one button you can switch the Xenon light on and off, the turn signals and hazard lights are activated in the same way. Another button controls the rear coupling. Overall, you can control with the module up to four Siku Control Devices. So you need for the control pendant or more Control-tractors (there is the equally excellent Fendt tractor) only this one remote control. Also all common (not remotely controllable) Siku farmer products you can use or attach with this set. The little tractor gets its energy from a long-lasting Li-battery, which is charged with the supplied charger. After about half an hour of John Deere has, however, again to the gas station. An optional spare battery does so for hard-working farmers perfect sense. The remote control is powered by four standard AA batteries / AA batteries, which are not included. At first I doubted whether the relatively high purchase price is justified. But now I think exactly the other way around: The tractor is worth every penny! It's really impressive how much technology packed into this small model! The indestructible Siku models made of metal will be breathed by modern technology life. See Remote-controlled plastic models against the Siku-Control products really absolutely cheaply made! Quality usually has its price, and this is fully justified here! A sophisticated and high-quality toys! I hope that the company Siku (perhaps not only agricultural vehicles ...) complements the Control series to other products! Only the battery must be recharged after about a short time. The remote control would have a rechargeable Li-battery not bad standing. And a peasant on the driver's seat would have liked better in person ... Never mind - a lot of fun with the little tractor! You will certainly not regret the purchase - no matter whether the Jung-or Alt-farmer drives him ... In addition it should be noted here that the vehicle thanks to its scale 1:32 look stunning on all Carrera Evolution / Scalextric- / Fly- / Ninco- ... fits / cars. The executor does so as an accessory on the slot car racing track is a good figure!
