The manufacturer of wooden toys dedicated a new development to the heroism of Ukrainian farmers

UGEARS, a Ukrainian company that designs and manufactures unique, mechanical 3D wooden puzzles, created the Tractor Wins construction set to celebrate the strength and courage of Ukrainian farmers.

This is reported by the press service of the manufacturer.

In the early days of russia’s February 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine, photographs and video began to circulate on the web of Ukrainian farmers towing russian tanks, trucks and personnel carriers with their tractors. Some of the armored vehicles had been destroyed or damaged by Ukraine’s armed forces, but in other cases they had simply run out of gas or been abandoned by conscripts whose hearts weren’t in the fight. The brave Ukrainian farmers, helping to defend their homeland, spirited away fully operational, high-grade military equipment from the invading army to give to their own armed forces. The images of this strange, courageous, and humorous harvest exploded on news sites around the world, becoming a meme and an enduring image of the war.

Now you can honor the heroism of these farmers with The Tractor Wins model from Ugears. The model is a two-in-one: a strong, spring-driven wooden tractor, with signature Ugears elegant design and mechanics, and a folding paper tank that can be towed behind the tractor with a tow line. This handsome, powerful tractor is the successor of our original, vintage tractor model (https://ugearsmodels.com/tractor.html) and a companion piece, or “big brother” of our Brave UA Tractor mini-model from the “Age of Bravery” series, celebrating Ukrainian defenders throughout history and highlighting some of the standout episodes and stories of the current war.

The wooden Tractor’s spring is wound using a key on the underside. A lever in the tractor cab serves as a start/stop switch. When the lever is lowered the force of the spring is transmitted to the rubberized wheels through the gear system, which includes a pendulum to regulate speed. The rear wheels of the Tractor have an overrunning clutch that allows for tighter turns. The Tractor’s hatch, doors, and hood can all be opened, while the steering angle of the wheels can be changed by turning them manually. Laser-engraved design features include cool tire sidewall markings and a trident on the Tractor’s flag, a symbol of Ukraine’s strength, freedom and indomitable spirit, as seen on the Ukrainian coat of arms.

We hope that The Tractor Wins model serves as an inspiration, and a reminder that everyone can be strong, everyone can be brave and stand up to a bully, it just takes heart. In the fight for Ukrainian independence, it’s not just professional soldiers but the entire Ukrainian people who have bravely stood against the foe. From the bottom of our hearts we thank you for supporting Ukraine in its time of need, and we remind our fans around the world that part of the proceeds from each model purchased on our international website https://ugearsmodels.com/ua/ will be donated to Ukrainian relief. We know the day will soon come when Ukrainian farmers can return to their most important work, which is feeding the world. Until then, Glory to the defenders! Glory to the farmers!
