“Set 8862 was released in 1989 as one of the most complex sets to date, and remains one of my favorite Technic sets of all time. The list of features is simply remarkable, with 4 input cranks and 3 pneumatic switches. It uses the new pneumatic system with 3 actuators to... More power the backhoe boom, jib, and scoop. The backhoe also slews via a gear system. The vehicle has rack and pinion steering and deployable rear outriggers.”

“This set is one of the greatest classic Technic sets of the late 80s, which holds a special place in the hearts of many Technic fans. It's a great backhoe, but if I had to choose, I'd go with the 8455 model that followed in 2003 which is better in almost all aspects -... More aesthetics, complexity, pneumatics.”

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.
