Christian Gemuenden: "There is a second LEGO product numbered #8859, but it's not listed on LUGnet"
Lars Brandt: "It's beautiful."
Claus Thiim: "My first, and still largest Technic set."
Martin Bruun: "One of my favourites. Big and beatiful."
Dave Church: "Huge and intricate, Needs better 'tools' on the back to make it perfect."
Stéphane Simard: "The best Lego tractor so far, although the old 851 has better farm implements. I got mine solely using parts from separate BrickLink orders."
Stefan Sanders: "615 pieces"
Carsten B. Thomsen: "The tractor that I never got. It's very good for its time, and it really looks like a Mercedes-Benz 4WD tractor."
Olli Mäkinen: "A very nice model. Love the raise-and-lower farming implement mechanics."
Dave Micklon: "A great improvement over the smaller red version. Could have used a better universal joint (1 part instead of 3 part) below for the steering. Released in the US as "Harvester"."
Jeff McClain: "My second technic set. Built this a million times. The drive shaft needed a universal rather than the pin (it always popped appart). I learned how differentials and pistons worked."
Richard Kloosterboer: "kinda cheated on this one. Made the set from spares and parts. My parents thought the 8860 car was more than enough. Yeah right... still hunting for a proper set 'cause this Unimog rulz."
