Big, green, and built to drag logs—or egos—through the mud. You don’t drive this beast; you wrestle it.
The LEGO Technic John Deere 948L-II Skidder (42157) is what happens when heavy machinery meets pure mechanical kink. With articulated steering, massive wheels, and a working claw that looks ready to crush a tree or two, this set doesn’t just roll—it flexes. It’s a full-on engineering workout disguised as playtime for adults who like their builds as mean as their coffee.
Built in collaboration with the real deal from John Deere, this model nails every brutal curve and piston pop of forestry muscle. Pneumatic functions? Check. Gear systems that actually do something? Oh yes. It’s not cute farming—it’s industrial domination in brick form.
Get your hands dirty—build it and feel the torque.
Highlights:
Faithful LEGO Technic recreation of the John Deere 948L-II Skidder
Articulated steering and functional claw arm for realistic movement
Working engine details and pneumatic features for proper mechanical joy
Massive tyres that look ready to chew through terrain or carpet alike
