[MOC] JCB Compact Track Loader

[trekman]

I present my JCB compact track loader. 2 XL for drive, M for lift, M for tip, M for autovalve and compressor for third service (grab). It is powered from mains to battery box for the time being. The building process featured numerous challenges in fitting all the motors in. I also wanted to see if the offset single boom would work. There is a little flex in it, as well as some quiver, due to the mounting position.

Comments are welcome

Hi trekman,

very cool and functional MOC! The driving performance is eally good, but I think the lifting is a bit slow.

Which scale is it? My guess ist round about 1/10?

I can't believe it...I am building exactly the same machine :)

But in a little smaller scale (maybe 10% smaller)

Mine will be only bricks, it would be great to have them side by side!

Awesome work! tracks are great.Arm looks good, too!

Can you post a picture of arm and small LA mountings?

It is a good moc,it always good to see pneumatics getting used,it works well.

The styling could be improved but the functionality makes up for it.

Scale is 1:9.9

Grab was a better option than the bucket. Although it is a bit heavier, it worked well picking up the pens.

Someone wanted to see the mini LA positions. This is the best photo I have.

Nice loader. What is the part number for the hard piping you are using with the pneumatics on the arm?

[trekman]

The hard piping was from 8829 Dune Blaster. Although hard piping of different lengths can be found in 8479 and some of the pneumatics sets.

I love everything about this MOC except the porn music in the video ;)
