What it is?
The first powered farm implements in the early 19th century were portable engines – steam engines on wheels that could be used to drive mechanical farm machinery by way of a flexible belt. Richard Trevithick designed the first 'semi-portable' stationary steam engine for agricultural use, known as a "barn engine" in 1812, and it was used to drive a corn threshing machine.
Key Benefits
- The “SLOBOZHANETS” model can serve as an independent part of your collection or as part of larger projects. The model features a recognizable design by Kharkiv engineers: a unique profile, engine with a sloping top cover, chassis with four large wheels, cabin, and other details. The tires on model wheels attract attention with imitation treads. In addition to the tractor set also includes a platform for any cargo. Both parts are movable and can be used together or separately.
- Textures and images have been applied to surfaces using electrochemical etching, giving model similarity to the original machine. All model parts are made of stainless steel used in the food industry, the production of consumer goods and toys. Assembly of “SLOBOZHANETS” excludes any harm to the owner. Precise cutting allows assembling models without the use of additional tools, soldering, or gluing.
- The “SLOBOZHANETS” scale model can be used as a souvenir, interior decoration, or toy. It can also be used to create installations, layouts, or reconstructions of agricultural, construction or transport sites. Other “Metal Time” models of corresponding size can be placed on moving platform and even create a road train based on tractor and several platforms. This model will take its rightful place on the stand with a collection of “Metal Time workshop” models. But its main purpose is technical creativity joint modeling development of manual skills.
