[MOC] Case 620 HD Tractor
Brick_Sticker replied to Brick_Sticker's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I would have liked to use two pumps to speed up the steering, but there just wasn't any room left. Initially the steering was going to be done by 2 small linear actuators, but I just couldn't find any setup I liked, and they wouldn't pivot freely in all directions. There was also an autovalve in place to shut off the compressor, but it was unreliable and too slow to act so I just left it out.- 29 replies

What are you thoughts on suspension in a model?
Brick_Sticker replied to aminnich's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
There are many good ways to do suspension, and a lot of them don't use the standard shock absorbers. NicJasno has some excellent designs that use 1x and 2x plates to simulate leaf springs, and there are also walking beam type suspensions that allow full axle movement but don't move up and down so much, which is perfect for a big heavily loaded truck. As long as all the wheels stay on the ground all the time, the suspension is successful. -

Thanks again for all the kind words! I_Igor, I really like your tractor too, and using turntables for the tracks looks just right for it.- 29 replies

42054 - Claas Xerion 5000 - MODs, Improvements, Attachments, etc
Brick_Sticker replied to BrickWild's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Here are a couple of hitch ideas, first an articulating hitch for towed equipment. It pivots in all directions and requires no mods to the tractor: And a 'quick hitch' type attachment for things that would normally go on a 3 point hitch: -
[MOC] Case 620 HD Tractor
Brick_Sticker replied to Brick_Sticker's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Here is an implement fitting for a tractor this size, a large pull-type scraper. This one is based off of an Ashland 215, which has a 21 cubic yard capacity. It pivots where the tongue attaches to the pan and has a sliding ejector to push the dirt out once it is full. The hitch pivots and swings in every direction and is very similar to the ones currently used on real scrapers. Cutting edge with spoil door, which lifts when the ejector is pushed forward. I needed more travel than one cylinder would provide, so I paired a V2 cylinder with an older V1 with some 3x5 arches: Ejector all the way forward: Rear view with push bars and hitch point for another scraper: Thanks for looking!

[MOC] Case 620 HD Tractor
Brick_Sticker replied to Brick_Sticker's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Thanks all for the kind words! The hood was one of the toughest parts, since the real one slopes, forward, down, widens, slopes, and narrows but I think it turned out fairly nice. Agrof, I definitely wanted to do stickers, if I could have found some at the right scale, they would really make it look complete. I will try to have some implements coming soon!

Mechanical Chain Counter
Brick_Sticker replied to uefchen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
This is an excellent idea, could also be used for displays in a moc, such as a gas pump or an odometer. -

[MOC] Case 620 HD Tractor
Brick_Sticker posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hello All, Since we now have tractor tires, let's build some tractors! Here is my version of the Case 620 HD farm tractor, rated at 620 hp and designed for large farms: First, the real thing: Now the Lego version: This tractor features 4 pneumatic remotes, as well as pneumatic steering controlled by a servo and switch. Other features include seperate PTO, drawbar, recovery cable, opening hood and pivoting center section. It is driven by one XL motor, and the pto and air pump are powered by M motors. There wasn't room under the hood for two receivers, so an sbrick is used to control all functions. Additional pics: Short video clip of steering: Thanks for looking, other pics and LXF file are available at http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=568801 Brick_Sticker- 29 replies

[BUG] Navigation in new Technic Forum
Brick_Sticker replied to kennywest's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
It happens to me as well on multiple browsers and devices, but only in the threads. If I click on a particular index, technic or otherwise, it will load each page properly when pressing next or selecting the page number. But in any thread, regardless of page count, pressing a button does nothing, and I have to select the address bar, hit enter, then it takes me to page I selected. No idea why, though.
