Five years ago I have shown model of Liebherr L580 loader:

Even then I did not liked its bucket, but there were no other way to have big and light bucket that fits to scale. Some time ago I have bought bucket from 42030 set and I tried to mount it on L580:
I did not succeded, because it didn't worked as I would like it to. So I decided to build new loader, that will work properly with new bucket.
In five days new model came to life, a Volvo L250G Wheel Loader.
Real machine:

And my model:
It weights 1,6kg and it's driven by single PF L motor:
Steering is achieved by single M motor and two small Linear Actuators:
The bucket is raised by single L motor:
And tilted by single M motor:
All motors are controlled by two IR receivers, and powered by Rechargeable battery box:
The cab has interior, but no opening door:
Comparision to L580:
Real machine uses reflective foil for improving its visibility in the dark. My model also has some reflective stripes:
And here you can see how it works:
