“The 8443 Log Loader is a great example of how to pack a lot of really innovative features into a smallish set. There's never been another log loader before or since except as an alternate mode. This set features a pneumatic system for the main boom operation, and a... More marvelous 6 wheel steering system which combines an articulated chassis with rack and pinion steering.”

“The classic 8443 LEGO set of a forest tractor released originally back in 1996 towards the end of the studded Technic era. We can see a very nice design with a lot of red parts, 6 wheels and a grappling arm. The most interesting feature here is the pneumatic system powering... More the arm. But not only that, I really like the steering system too.”

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 Pneumatic Log Loader set 8443 was released in August 1996, retailing for $59, but has since been retired. New, unopened Pneumatic Log Loader sets are valued at $284, while used sets can be found for $75.
