The model uses a flex system to steer the front wheels, which some find less effective than the traditional rod and gear systems. The set also includes a short VHS video comparing the model to its real-life counterpart. The model is made in the image of Fox Team Larsen's tractors, a Danish team whom LEGO sponsored in 2000, and carries the team's traditional colours. The team carried the LEGO TECHNIC logo when they competed in the European Championship 2000 in Power Pulling, in which they came first in their class (4.5 ton modified).
