"The Forest Tractor is nearly the ideal small City set: a well-researched real-vehicle design, an arm mechanism that punches far above its price point, and owner satisfaction that is as high as it gets, with 4.8 stars across almost 3,000 ratings. At a BrickScore of 88.6 it is one of the stronger small City builds of its era."
The Forest Tractor is a standout small City set that earns its Highly Recommended 88.6 BrickScore through an excellently executed articulated log-loader arm, a distinctive lime-green color scheme, and oversized balloon tires that make it immediately recognizable as something different from typical City fare.

Brickset Reviews
"Simple, straightforward build suitable for age 5+. Features an articulated log-loader arm with multiple points of articulation (rotating head, rotating base, hinged portions) that move smoothly with good friction. Includes ratcheted joints that allow lifting more than the included cargo. No steering mechanism included."

Owners love the Forest Tractor's easy build, distinctive design with large Technic wheels, and clever forest-themed accessories, but some report the grabber arm and claw are structurally weak and prone to detaching.
