Bulldozers


iso

There have only been a couple of bulldozers, but they are all marvelous sets.  All feature tracked drive.  The 856 is really more of a loader with a raising and dumping scoop, but can also be built with a blade.  8275 is a motorized, remote controlled behemoth with a raising blade and ripper.   Don't let the tiny size fool you, 8259 is excellent as well.  The newest has an interesting triangular track pattern.

One obvious point of similarity is that every single bulldozer has been yellow.  This is a common color in many Technic heavy equipment models, although there are some exceptions in excavators.

Set 856 has great mechanical functions and is one of my favorite sets.  But for sheer size and impact, it is hard to beat 8275
