I guess they will want to use the newly developed gearbox parts though. I am hoping that the lack of supercars to choose from would mean that they will have to start using them in 1:10 models as well :) Hopefully with the new parts they can fit into smaller models.

Agreed. I was mainly thinking of that the list of available candidates for us to speculate about will decrease. :)

They might very well start using older cars as template for the future 1:8 series cars though.

Wonder if the header on the Deere forager is gonna use yellow diff gears.

I'm affraid Lego economic will step into and we will get dark bluish gray one

More probably in this price we won't get any differential but only two-wheel drive (if the leak with this set is real).

@1gor, @artemisovsky,

People! I'm talking about this part:

It'd look good if used for the blades on the header.

@Maaboo35, if front wheels would be 81mm (from Zetros); I'm affraid they are too small, but idea is very good actually 

My idea is something like this, but it seems to big...

I actually think the 9700 will be in scale with the 9R. I know it's 500-odd parts, but 42121 has that amount, and it's pretty small.

Could be, but then front 56 tractor tires and rear?

I also thought that this years 948 would be based on Zetros tires due to parts count...

Jeep tyres up front, I'd say. For the rear tyres, it'll probably be a smaller, non-chevron tyre.

Anyway, all of the above speculation on my part is assuming it even has a corn forage-type header. It might be the hay/grass type.

This is also possible...

Again, I highly doubt that. The 42136 has 390 pieces, the tractor itself only 280 pieces. Even with more function elements and the front attachment I don't see how to squeeze in 280 pieces more. For me I really hope and anticipate the bigger wheel combination ;-)

I have some time after work today to make a sketch of the model with 81 tires :-)

This would be kind of boring in contrast to a more present mechanism of the corn forage harvester ;-)

The 9700 might include a trailer as well, given that a forage harvester has no internal storage. Plus, I'd think the header would take up quite a percentage of the part count.

Ok, if it would include a trailer (which could also be attached to the Deere 9R), then I can see it happen in this scale.

I wonder if they have considered imitating real life by selling the tractor by itself then the various attachments as separate kits?

I doubt it. This could be done with trains too, but they don't (anymore) 

Something like this with 81 parts so far:

- Main wheels drive the front mower unit, which can also be lifted. Other functions are steering and movement of arm.

I think hubs are too expensive for such scale, but otherwise to achieve narrow (enough) it would need 2 axles 5.5 with stop...

Nice, start...

Maybe we can get tractor tire for this wheel.

Considering other tire for this wheel(56891 and 35578) size will be 37 x 16 or 37 x 18.

Hmm they hab been used in the 42037, which had less than 500 pieces :-P

Could be cool, still I hope for bigger scale :-)

Yes, but IMHO 42037 is bigger set (dimensions in studs); we'll see anyway when TLC decide that time has come

@Jundis I would love this kind of tractor. Maybe I need to make one no matter what TLG does.

Those would be great for skid steers! 

I can never remember, when do we usually start seeing more details or pics of the upcoming 2024 sets?

When they appear.

There used to be a pattern of just after Christmas we'd see "leaked" images of the second half sets but now there doesn't appear to be much of a pattern to it, other than being about a month before release at the earliest.
