More pictures from jb spielwaren and those rear outriggers are completely a joke.

If it turns out to be true (excavator instead of backhoe) that gives a massive amount of hope for me for a summer JCB Backhoe flagship. And, of course, an excavator is more plausible with 104 pieces than a backhoe. Thank you for the info!

everyone is saying its backhoe loader but apparently its an excavator by this reputable seller:) 

That is unfortunate, as all the functions of an excavator are integrated in a backhoe, plus a lot of others.

143pcs, 10$

I know this is smallest model but looks stupid.

Hot damn, it's actually a backhoe!

It doesn't look like it has steering, does it? 4 wheels are fixed to the chassis.

Welcome to the era of C-models as A models. Lol

And i have to say this is my opinion the worst cheapest boxed set my favorite is still that snow groomer:) 

But this is a great partspack this has 2 black knob gears for the front attachment movement:)

I'm not sure what people expected at this piece count, I expected exactly this and hence I'm not surprised or disappointed. Actually I think the part usage is not too bad, and the overall shapes are nice, and I knew that everything would be just posable instead of controlled mechanisms, so that's okay-ish too, maybe the rear arm/bucket/outriggers feel somewhat cheap. I think that bucket could have been made posable at least.

The topic is now duplicated.

No, the top gear controls the front bucket raising.

Well im happy that these boxed cheap sets exist but compared to the snow groomer it is far superior this backhoe should been 400pcs range because now this is okayish but falls short for execution because of piece limits and its still a miracle what they achievement for this low piece count but the low piece count really shows and i wish the backhoe could have had more pieces because i just think the backhoe is too complicated for this low amount of pieces i think combine harvester would work much better in this smaller scale because that has less functions 

But i will get this in january because im openminded and i want to see is this as bad as the images show i dont want yet jump to full on hate train:)

The black parts of the rear arm don't seem to be consistent in these images:

On the box, we see two thin 1x5 L black liftarms with axle hole at the ends (side by side).

In the other image, we see... something else in black above the left rear wheel... not longer than 2 L.

Edit: Oh, it's a 2 L beam with ball joint!

This good fo' nethin' Backhoe Loader now got two separate threads to be adored (discussed) by Eurobricks. Woohoo!

[Auroralampinen]

And im interested how strong is the rear attachment connection with the single ball joind so maybe the articulation is really not realistic and more closer to bionicle set or a mech set
