I started working on this model in February 2021. My goal was to maximize the amount of parts I could use from my own stash, so I first recreated the model in Stud.io from the instructions, figured out the part I could use any color for, and started collecting the parts. I initially started with the tractor only because I figured it was the most interesting part of the model and had only 25% of the total amount of parts, enabling me to control the spend.

This took me several months for the tractor, because I had a few bulk bins to sort and I was hoping to find parts for the model. Plus I had other MOCs to buy parts for first, so it went to the end of the queue.

I finally pulled the trigger and ordered the rest of the parts for the tractor in January 2022. It took me a while to then get around to build it even though it only took me a few hours. It looked good, but a little naked without the trailers, so I repeated the process with the trailers. I ordered the remaining parts early June 2022 and it took me several hours to put it together last week given the sheer amount of parts to assemble even if it was a tad repetitive.
