[MOC] RC Articulated Tractor

[Anto]

Hi everyone !

This is a MOC I made 2 years ago. It is an artulated tractor.

It has 2 RC functions : driving by a XL motor and steering by a M motor.

There is a 2 speeds gearbox that you can select manually.

The articulation allows the 4 wheels still touch the floor.

There is a rear lift to hook tools.

The PTO can be able and disable by the lever near the seat.

Steering :

The rear lift :

The PTO :

(the driving ring catches the bush. The rotation is done trought the rear differential)

I tried to do a good design, with a lot of panels. The hood and the seat are red ; the mudguard are black.

There is a lot of details like front and rear headlights, exhaust, switches.

This tractor has 3 tools. You can see it in the video. :)

Nice MOC! It would be much better for your topic if you embed the video with just removing the "s" from "https".

I've been trying to figure out how that PTO driving ring thingy works... but no luck.

Nice tractor though I like the attachments you made.

I allowed myself to embedded the video.

Very nice and good looking tractor. This type is always a little odd, but that makes it appealing I guess...haha... ;-)

Well done. We don't often see old cabin-less models as MOCs so I appreciate it. The gear shifting mechanism looks unconventional but clean and effective.

Thanks for your answers !

I like this type of tractors because this is original, uncommon.

KamalMYafi : ok for the video, I will know.

For the PTO, it is more understandable with this :

Wow, I never considered that a bushing could be used like that. Pretty sure that's not legal usage but cool nonetheless

Very nice model. Well built and interesting to look at.

It's nice to see a build in this scale. It looks pretty good and I like the attachments that go with it. If you want better off road performance, try removing the differentials.

That Idea with bushing is really great. I also didn't know about that.

Thanx.
