“This model is a nice design of a Wheel loader, which features 3 functions. First the movable shovel, second it's arm and third the rear axle steering. The model looks rather realistic, but a tad too modern due to rounded parts. It's small for such a functional model, too,... More since it has all cramped in such small space. Overall 5/5.”

BrickEconomy Expert Review
“The Wheel Loader model is compact yet functional, boasting realistic features like a movable shovel and rear axle steering, though its modern curves may not appeal to all. The Grader is similarly updated, with functional steering and a shovel, but it doesn't pack the same punch as the Wheel Loader due to its less cramped design. Overall, both models impress.”
 

About Technic

TECHNIC is one of The LEGO Company's main lines based on creating detailed model machines and mechanical toys with specialized beams, axles, gears and connectors and primarily designed for older children and adults. The theme was first introduced as the Expert Builder series in 1977, but was officially renamed as TECHNIC in 1984. TECHNIC is still an active theme, and is one of the longest running themes in LEGO history. While most TECHNIC sets are vehicles that use pieces to mimic real vehicles, such as engine pieces, suspension, pneumatic, and transmission pieces, the TECHNIC parts have been used by various other System themes as well as LEGO Mindstorms.
Summary
Technic Wheel Loader set 8271 was released on October 24, 2007, retailing for $20, it has since been retired. New, unopened sets are valued at $35, while used sets sell around $16.
