Quick Answer
The Bruder 09828 John Deere 7R 350 with Front Loader and Tipping Trailer includes the tractor, loader, and trailer—no batteries or tools required. Assembly is minimal: attach the front loader and hitch the trailer, then you're ready for farm play.
What's in the Box
Inside the Bruder 09828 box you'll find the John Deere 7R 350 tractor with front loader pre-assembled, plus a separate tipping trailer. The tractor measures 16.7 x 6.9 x 8.1 inches, and the trailer is 14.6 x 6.5 x 7.1 inches—both are 1:16 scale. No stickers, tools, or batteries are needed; everything clicks together by hand.
Setup Overview
Setup takes about two minutes. You only need to attach the front loader to the tractor's mounting points and hitch the tipping trailer to the rear. The loader arm pivots and the bucket tilts manually. The trailer bed tips by releasing a latch. No screws or glue are involved.
Step-by-Step Setup Guide
- Attach the Front Loader: Align the loader arms with the mounting pins on the tractor's sides and press until you hear a click. The loader should pivot freely up and down. Common mistake: forcing the arms backward. They only lock in one orientation; if it doesn't click, rotate the arms 180° and try again.
- Hitch the Tipping Trailer: Slide the trailer's hitch ring over the tractor's rear ball hitch. Push down until it snaps into place. The trailer should swivel side to side. Check that the hitch is fully seated. A loose hitch can cause the trailer to detach during play.
- Test the Tipping Mechanism: Lift the latch on the trailer bed and tilt the bed upward. It should lock in the raised position. Push it back down to reset. If the bed doesn't stay raised, the latch may not be fully engaged. Press the latch firmly until it clicks.
- Check Wheel Movement: Roll the tractor and trailer on a flat surface. All wheels should spin freely. The trailer's wheels also steer slightly for tighter turns. If wheels stick, check for debris or molding flash on the axle. A gentle twist usually frees them.
