Being a high detail model, there is a detailed engine block situated behind the opening engine door which is a nice touch from Ertl. There are also 2 opening side doors, one on each side of the cab which reveal additional plastic moulded detailing. The cab is detailed inside and tilts back showing the inner workings of the machine.

The model features fully working blade which can be raised/lowered and the rear ripper raises/lowers. The individually linked metal tracks are a very nice addition to the model and the paint finish is excellent.
The detail on this model is good for a model that costs around £20-£25 and is a great addition to the John Deere model series. The use of large silver headed rivets is again a slight detraction from the otherwise fantastic detail.
