The first review of the Lego Technic tractor with log loader has appeared on the Eurobricks Forum written by member Tom White.
This set is one of the smaller models released at the start of 2010. From Tom's pictures it looks 
much simpler than I thought it would be. This is a good thing though as some of the recent sets have been overly complex and I've even found my self getting frustrated with the often very detailed build.
The first part of the build is the tractor. Not many parts and realy just has simple steering as a function.
The trailer is also straight forward. The pneumatic pump is located under the trailer, with 2 pneumatic valves on the side, controlling the boom and stick. the arm can be rotated via a small gear at the back of the trailer.
This is the first set for a years to contain pneumatics. The set could have done with one more 
small cylinder to close the final jaw on the arm. A similar claw is on the Air Tech Claw Rig - set 8868.
The model has an age rating of 9 to 16 which seems ideal. At £40 it's maybe a bit too expensive for youngsters though.
It's toy fair season at the moment where toy companies showcase their new and upcoming toys. These images were captured at the Toronto Toy fare in Canada.
From the box we can see it contains 1123 parts and is aimed at 11-16 year olds. The arm does have 3 degrees of articulation, the top half rotates, and the tracks are driven. This gives 6 motions with only 4 motors and 4 available controls from the remote control, so it looks like there'll be some form of switching mechanism between the 6 functions.

Again from the box the set contains 686 parts and is aimed at ages 10 - 16 years old. The truck is fitted with one Power Functions motor that looks like a medium sized one. Presumably to load and offload the container. The container can either be tipped as in a tipper truck, or offloaded to the back. This looks like it's selected by a small gearbox on the side of the truck.

The set contains 1289 parts and is aimed at 11-16 years. The model doesn't appear to contain any Power Functions motors so presumably everything is manually driven. The crane has unusual outriggers to stabilise the it. They appear to form a large x, each swinging out from the side. Looks like thumb type screws on each stabiliser leg. The cranes hook is rather odd considering they didn't use the existing hook and pulley parts. It'll be interesting how heavy a weight this crane will be able to lift with only one Linear Actuator.

487 Lego parts aimed at 9 to 16 year olds. The wheels on the bike look like new parts - wider than any other motor bike produced in the past. This looks like a very detailed build using lots of small parts.

There's new rumors circulating about the flagship Lego Technic set for 2010.
According to some sources that claim to have seen a 2010 toy dealers catalogue that the flagship set for 2010 will be a Power Functions Remote controlled Excavator.
Some spec's being rumored
It's not clear how each of the bits would be used. I would reckon 2 LA's will control the main boom, 1 for the stick, and one for the bucket. One motor would control each of the movements, with one motor to turn the upper portion of excavator. This leaves nothing to control the tracks unfortunately. It's possible the tracks will be controlled by some kind of sliding clutch type assembly but this would involve complicated gearing between the tracks and the main structure.
It seems Lego are listening to their customers who have frequently asked for a fully remote controlled Power Functions model.
I predict something along the lines of the Lego Technic Excavator (set 8851) from 1984.
