Steering for the front wheels provides manoeuvrability, allowing you to navigate through imaginary fields and obstacles with ease. And let's not forget the last part: the snow plow attachment. The mount frame for front attachments with a lock in the upper position allows for seamless integration of the snow plow, transforming the lawn tractor into a versatile winter companion. Whether you're clearing driveways or sculpting snow sculptures, the snow plow adds an extra dimension of playability to an already impressive model. I have plans to build some other attachments for this. In conclusion, the LEGO Technic 42168 C Model Lawn Tractor is a triumph of miniature engineering.
