6111 - Gardener with Vehicle and Tractor Mower
« on: June 04, 2015, 13:14:53 »
Twice I've debated buying this set, but then purchased something else instead.  Third time of looking, I finally bought it.



I would have got it earlier, if I'd realised what nice features it has.  I like the street map/town plan very much.



And I didn't realise that there were holding slots for the gardening tools.



The wheel blocks are great too, they can be held by the klicky of course, and they fix easily into the slots on the trailer.



When not in use, they can be stored in the tool box at the front of the trailer.



The tractor mower is the item that I particularly wanted, and is as wonderful as I hoped it would be.  I got sore fingers putting on those tyres though.  They are a very tight fit.



The whole roof has to be removed (and the gardening tools with it) for the klicky to drive the vehicle.  If I ever intend to fill the tool/luggage compartment with lots of items, I will want to remember to put the klicky into the driver's seat first, before adding all the things to carry along.



It all runs along very nicely, though, so is worth having a driver inside.



A good set - and one that I should have bought months ago!

nice review.  it looks cool. they had that before with the tires of some early sets like the 3454 snowplow, they were massive and very hard to get on.

Kinda weird, having to remove the whole roof with tools just to get the klicky in or out. Not very handy...especially for kids.

Ah...so that is what those red thingies are for, they are wheel chock's  ;D

Thank you for the review :)

It is a nice looking vehicle. I really like the guy's cap - but NOT his hair!  :no:

An interesting little set. I like the mower, and the vehicle could easily be used for Beach Patrol as well.

Interesting set  he's a very modern urban looking gardener not at all what I'd expect a gardener to look like (particularly considering I'm one) also an interesting looking vehicle not sure about it myself but I do quite like the ride on mower looks very impressive  :)

 :lol: Yes sir, a very weird looking gardener indeed. Looks more like a hipster going to a rave dressing like a work man.  Also have to agree on the vehicle. Never have I seen a gardener drive a mini SUV. The new four door truck or the old pick up would have been a better choice. Blue tools have to be the hipest part of this set.

I wonder if the red wheel chocks are the same ones that came with the older blue race trailer, we could use more from DS if they fit. They look like the same system of two tabs on the bottom that wedge into the slots on the trailer

Would be nice if a Quad fit on that need looking trailer

Thanks for the review
