Tractor (LEGO 60498)

About this set

This is the LEGO City tractor (60498), a 204-piece build rated about 2/5 in difficulty, so it's a quick, low-stress session. The finished model is mostly teal with black, white and gray parts, reading as a light farm tractor: large tires dominate the stance, the cab has side mirrors, and the nose carries a front grille plus an exhaust pipe. The silhouette is simple but the key details are all there. I'd build the chassis and rear axle first, then stand up the cab frame, and finish with the grille, exhaust and mirrors. The tire axle points and the fender mounts are the spots where things can go on crooked, so line up the axle before pushing; teal parts are limited, so place them right the first time rather than pulling them apart. With the low difficulty, it suits newer City vehicle builders or kids, and works as a small addition to a farm scene.
