As one can expect from an authentic 1:32 miniature, the design of the bonnet allows it to be opened. The reproduction of the functionality is accomplished by movable top and lower links. The top link on the rear can even be extended. Since the cab is able to present itself to the beholder in its full glory, the designers at WIKING have seen to it that the door on the driver’s side can be opened. Likewise, the rear window can be opened as well, granting an even better look into the interior. A surprising feature is the rotating driver’s seat, while the steering wheel can be used to control the front swing axle. The exterior mirror can be moved inward and outward. Particularly noteworthy: The fact that the refrigerator in the cab can be opened speaks to meticulous devotion to detail. And, while the interior of the cab is filled with precisely reproduced instruments, the exterior is marked by intricate imprints of the markings, the warning signs, the lamps and even the hydraulic connections. One look at the tyres with their knobbly profile and at the technically astounding rear is enough to perceive the John Deere 8R 410 as a model that is pleasing all around. The precision model ships in optimised packaging, which shows detailed images with great appeal on the outside of the box and is made of reinforced material.

Forgoing the use of polystyrene, WIKING trusts in protective inner packaging including a robust moulded fibre part that helps conserve resources.
