Created by Meccano (formerly Erector), the sheer power of a John Deere 380G Excavator is now replicated in a build-your-own-machine set. The Excavator is not only impressive in size - it measures 2 ft. long - but also in function! Just like the real thing, the treads on this excavator move, and the cab rotates a full 360°. 3 working hydraulic cylinders and pistons showcase the power of pressurized water, and give the arm three points of articulation. Introduce budding engineers, innovators, and creatives to their newest challenge: building the John Deere 380G Excavator!
Parents take note, this is a guilt-free purchase, because this is a S.T.E.A.M. toy. Building it requires kids to use their knowledge of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math, plus it requires a precise hand and curious mind. If you know a young thinker, challenge them to tackle this building project solo, or go in as a team, and bond over the exciting process of building something new. Either way, prepare for a tough task.
The John Deere 380G Excavator is rated at a complexity level of expert (recommended for ages 10 years and up), with a build time between 3-5 hours. While difficult, curious minds will soon discover how rewarding it is to construct something as impressive as this model. Assembly tools are included. An Officially Licensed John Deere Product.
