Purchased by me
The 60498 is got giant wheels you can push around, an engine that opens up so the minifig can work on it, a cockpit that opens to seat him, and slots to hook up trailers. The teal color is fun, and to me there’s real play value here.
Lego City Farm Tractor (60498)
The verdict
Buy it if
you want a simple, fun City set for a kid with real play value and some trailer options.
Skip it if
you want a big, detailed build, or something to display rather than actually play with.
What’s good
- Giant wheels, and you can push it forward, so there’s real play value.
- The engine opens up, so you can make the minifig act like he’s working on it.
- The cockpit opens with a removable back piece to seat the classic City worker, and he can even hold his coffee while he drives.
- Slots to attach trailers, or you build your own trailer from a different set.
The catch
- The 60498 is a pretty simple set, so an older builder is going to find it basic.
- Trailers aren’t included, so you attach ones you already have or build your own.
What it is
So this is the Lego City Farm Tractor, a simple City set with a lot of play value. The 60498 is got giant wheels you can push, an engine that opens up, and a cockpit that opens with a removable back piece. The 60498 comes with the classic City worker minifig in his overalls.
What I found using it
For me the play features are the fun part. You can open the engine and make the minifig look like he’s working on it, then close it back up, open the cockpit, and drop him in to drive. That part works really well, and he can even hold his coffee while he drives.
The teal color is fun, and there are a couple of slots where you can attach trailers or build your own from a different set. So it gets a little bit of room to grow beyond just the base tractor.
Who I’d tell to buy it
This is pretty simple, but it’s a lot of fun for a kid to have. If you want a bigger, more detailed build, a Technic tractor is the step up. But for straightforward play value, I think this City set does the job.
How it did in testing
This is a quick hands-on, not a lab test. Nothing below is a score. The 60498 is just what stood out to me playing with it.
The 60498 is simple, but the little play features all work well, and for a kid’s set that’s kind of what matters.
| Test | What happened | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Push play | Giant wheels roll and you can push it forward. | Simple and fun. |
| Engine | Opens up so the minifig can act like he’s working on it. | Nice little detail. |
| Cockpit | Removable back piece opens so the worker can get in and drive. | Works really well. |
| Trailers | Slots let you attach trailers or build your own from another set. | Room to grow. |
Living with it
This is a simple set, but honestly it’s a lot of fun for a kid. The engine opens, the cockpit opens, and the worker drives it around with his coffee, which is a fun little touch.
The teal color is fun and the trailer slots give it some room to grow. If you want something big and complex, look elsewhere. But for a kid, this one hits.
