That is very cool!

Not only is it something unique, it also looks terrific!

Bravo!

This tractor is really nice. I had few oportunities to see such in real life. I like how it "shakes" just like real one with the same engine. And even the forward movement is not so smooth with this engine - originals with similar engines have the same problem until they reach a certain speed. Very realistic engine and tractor.

great tractor Nico.

[nico71]

And for those who asked for a video about the engine, I have made on with SR3D to show how it is made.

[dhc6twinotter]

That tractor is uber cool. You come up with some fantastic creations!

[jorgeopesi]

Great tractor and video.

[aeh5040]

Both the loom and the Digicomp I are absolutely fantastic! Awesome work!

The Digicomp was actually on my long-term list of things to make, but you beat me to it! :)

Many thanks also for making instructions. I'll definitely be making one of these...

[DLuders]

Wow, that's a nice Lego Technic Pneumatic Lanz Tractor! Your PDF Building Instructions are very well done. Thanks for sharing!

[jorgeopesi]

Thanks Nico you teach us a lot of with your MOCs, I think I will build it, I want to know more about pneumatic systems, thank you again.

[Paul202]

Awesome creation, really makes me wish I had some pneumatics.

[nico71]

Here is some news ! I have finished the project of the Stage Trailer and I will deliver the creations to the customer. You can follow the story of that creation here : http://www.nico71.fr...-stage-trailer/

The video of the model :

After 4 month of work, I am quite satisfied of the result and my customer too, it adds a sucess to my industrial references.

[lukeandahalf]

One of the first models I built was one of your Unimogs, and I continue to be inspired. Great work on the tractor, I will surely build in the future. And the stage is lovely, I've seen many live shows on the north american equivalent!

If you likes maths, here are some :

Very simple and very clever I think, the planimeters are awesome object ! I plan to build some other, include polar and orthogonal for the exhibitions at fanabriques in june, 2013.

[captainmib]

Wow, that is crazy!

Simple yet technical...

What's the secret underneath the circle?

If you likes maths, here are some :

You make the coolest stuff.

[legomuppet9]

This is awesome, are you going to make instructions?

[nico71]

What's the secret underneath the circle?

Nothing ! Juste a 40/8 gearing. The aim is only math : the green's theorem : http://en.wikipedia....Green's_theorem The trick is that the angle between the begining and the final position is arround equal to the double integral because the cursor follow a tractrix which is arround equal to the derivative underneath the curve, and the double integral is the surface thanks to green's theorem.

[Paul Boratko]

Really Cool..! I worked with one of these when I was in Drafting Class in highschool....

[hrontos]

This is great. I like how you use LEGO Technic to attract attention of people to things they would normaly find not so attractive.

[legomuppet9]

Will you include the template for the dial in those instructions?
