fredrigl Posted December 26, 2011 Posted December 26, 2011 I thought a skid steer loader would be a nice MOC to build based on the 8043 electronic parts. It can be made to steer quickly, and with rubber wheels, there's no skidding on normal surfaces. Unlike the 8043 tracks. For me, it was important to have the bucket level while lifting. This made the boom construction extra challenging, as I needed an extra linkage. Many days of tinkering went into fine tuning boom/tipper mechanism. Here is a video demonstration: Quote
Yiharua Posted December 26, 2011 Posted December 26, 2011 Good video! I love techic and as i can see you too. Well, it is a fine MOC. It is very similar to a real skid loader. Can you load some photos in the post? I would prefer see photos and then the video. Thank you. Quote

fredrigl Posted December 27, 2011 Author Posted December 27, 2011 I have seen your skid stear allready but i can't remember where ,great little loader. That's an interesting comment! I have had several unfinished versions of it available on my YouTube account. And I uploaded the video about one week before posting in this forum. So it may well be that you've seen it already.

DLuders Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 Yes, people saw it in this Eurobricks post (under the name m43photo). Quote
fredrigl Posted December 27, 2011 Author Posted December 27, 2011 (edited) Yes, people saw it in [...] (under the name m43photo). Aha! So someone did see my YouTube video and made a post on Eurobricks about it. That was very flattering, I have to say. Edited December 27, 2011 by fredrigl Quote
timslegos Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 You could upload photos to brickshelf.com and then deep link the photos here. Anyway, nice model! tim Quote
