[MOC] Yet another Front-end Loader, how boring :-)

[schermvlieger]

Hi All,

This moc was inspired on 8069, which looks nice enough but doesn't quite cut it as far as playability is concerned.

In the end, only the nose section remained more or less the same as the original model; the rest has been redesigned completely.

I might have a go at adding the backhoe later but i'm quite pleased with how the back looks so probably won't bother and start a whole new moc instead.

Features:

- Pneumatic raising/lowering and tipping of the bucket

- Manual pneumatic pump

- Compressor driven by the back wheels*

- HOG Steering with the exhaust pipe at the front

- Functional steering wheel in the cabin

- Proper techfig seating

(*wich works okayish but since the little pumpt can't quite deliver enough pressure for this application it's more of a prrof-of-concept for future use)

I have not digitised the model in LDD yet, and have no idea of the piece count, but I estimate it will be around 800. The weight is 664 grams.

Maybe a bit over the top for such a utility vehicle but i like shiny things hahah :)

Location of the main pump at the right. There's a small ladder on the left side.

Location of the compressor, driven by the back wheels via a diff.

See you later; happy bricking!

Nice loader!

Nice loader,I think it would look even better with a back-actor on the back.

That's really nice! I particularly like the back design.

Hope you continue with your ideas!

Nice one and not boring at all. It's always good to see what others can do. The rear is very interesting.

I love it! I've never seen a MOC with a compressor linked to the wheels, very smart design!

Nice MOC, simple yet effective.

Looks good! I like the back, slick design.

I made a few changes to the cabin and digitized the model in LDD, just in case I might want to build it again later. I was goint to attach the LXF to this post, but the maximum attachment size is insufficient. I'll send it by email to anyone who's interested; just send a pm if you are.

Part count is around 650 which is much less than I'd thought but thankfully too much to enter the TRIPLE contest as I spend too much time with this hobby as it is already haha.

Love it! And any loader a little out of the ordinary is a good thing, not boring:-)
