Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This combine is a hefty die-cast toy that comes with a plastic "corn head" and a "flex head". (Am I farmer? No, I'm suburban born and bred, but we've moved to a small town where we've made friends with a farmer!) It has a plastic ladder to the cabin and a plastic "unloading auger" (tube) that swings out and extends (by straightening on a joint). The stickers and painted details add to the realism.
The notable flaw is the way that the heads attach to the vehicle. The plastic heads have pinchers that flex to grab onto two "pips" on the vehicle. Your child might have difficulty getting the heads onto the vehicle. They attach firmly, but are easily removed as well. I worry that, over time, the plastic pinchers will loosen. So far, it hasn't happened.
The flex head doesn't rotate when you "drive" the vehicle, either. Compare this to the Lego City Set #7636 Combine Harvester: the flex head rolls on the ground (carpet?) when you push the toy, so it looks like the combine is really working. On this combine, the rotating blades are held up by two wheels --- more realistic, yes, but less "functional" (for play). My son doesn't mind, it seems.
I like the quality of this toy, overall. It's fun... if your child is into it.
