[TC13] New Holland Tractor

[aminnich]

Hey guys, 

I hope you had a great Christmas!

I would like to present a WIP of my TC13 build.  I am mainly building in LDD and then actually building it.  I do not usually do this, but I figured I would give it a try for the contest.  

Sorry only one picture, but let me know what you think!

Very nice! Does it use 1 or 2 pullback motors? Also, maybe you should connect a law mower to the output so it spins while the tractor is driving.

Thanks!  

It uses 2 pullback motors for more torque, trying to get it to do a wheelie, but the front might be too heavy. 

I am hoping to get the engine to spin from the pullback motors, but I am not sure how I will do that yet.

Looks good. My dad used to work for CNH / New Holland / Ford tractors before he retired

Loos good so far, and it's nice to see that you've gone for a larger scale pullback vehicle - something different is good.

I think you will hear get the engine running, I had one running in a way smaller pullback

I see that wheelies will be popular. I am making a replica of a wheelie car, but I am still awaiting parts to finalise the looks.

I tend to build on the larger side of thing a lot of the time.

That would be cool!

Well it isn't lifting off the ground yet. Good luck to your build!

this could be more interesting official set that LEGO pullbacks. For Newholland you need white rims like thishttp://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=504055

I do plan on adding white to the wheels before it is done. Still a lot of work to be done

I posted it a few months ago, but you may be inspired by it: (bad pic sorry.)

It did nice wheelies.

I am going to be powering from the rear wheels, I want as little weight in the front as possible.  The engine is already too heavy I have a feeling

Ok, I would say power the engine anyway.

I completely agree. Small (ish) detail that makes a big difference.

I will for sure be keeping the engine there, I think that looks good.  I just need to figure out the best way to get some power to it.  I have some ideas, I just need the time to build

[aminnich]

thoughts on white wheel covers?

Hey guys, 

I have been extremely busy remodeling my basement (where my building bench is) and I have not been able to build since the last update.  If I do not get the time this weekend, I am going to have to drop out of yet another contest, UGH.  

Goodluck to all of the participants!
