[MOC]Tractor

[gvo25]

Dear all,

I recently started a new project. I'm going to try to build from scratch a tractor. Untill now my mocs were modifications of existing models or Mocs based on parts of existing models. Additionally I personally find it extremely hard to build vehicles with wheels, so any help or advice is always welcome.

I'm going to try to build a tractor with PF-functions, a cab, 3-point hitch, Pto and a towball. Later I would like to add a front loader. Here are some fotos of The chassis. I don't have the recent CLAAS wheels so I'm going to use the old style full wheels. The front wheels are pendular.

Any comments and help are always welcome

First of all I notice you are using 1:3 reduction for steering. This won't be enough to steer properly (you will struggle to get the wheels back into center position).

There are some simple return to center steering mechanisms, for example:

I would also reinforce the chassis with 5x3 liftarms.

Thank you for your comment, that was indeed a problem, the return to centre
