Super great creation! Hall of fame worthy!

Amazing build! 23 motors.... Wow. This makes the Claas tires look tiny! Which motor control what functions on this monster?

Also, welcome back!

And +1 HoF!

Thanks Leonardo. The Claas Tires came just in time from the TLG Heaven . They are amazingly sturdy, and are not reinforced inside, like i had to with the powerpuller tires on my Ropa Tiger.

Are you asking for a fully  run through of the functions?.

This vehicle looks crazy functional. A video would be nice.

Is the yellow block in the back a counterweight for the conveyor belt?

Well it has a function or 20..... I am planning a video, but have been very busy harvesting potatoes and mais, the last few months.

You are right, it is the counterweight, on the original it is the diesel tank, on the model a battery box.

YES!!! Please, do share the whole list! I will wait for the video, so you don't have to explain it all here.... Unless you want to!

[jorgeopesi]

Epic machine.

[Jeroen Ottens]

Wow, that is incredible. I'm looking forward to hear more details about the functions.

Wow this monster is big. You should make a video starting with famous words from legendary race 500 miles from Indianapolis: Gentleman start your engines

I think it is going to be a very long.... and boring post.... i have just asked my sweet wife who is a photographer, if she wants to help with the video i near future. I think a video is more fun to watch, and explains more than words.

[Leonardo da Bricki]

I think you are right. I will wait for the video!

[Paknaloid]

Insta-HoF. ? 

[BrickbyBrickTechnic]

HoF worthy! I am simply in awe. Awesome awesome job!!!

[TechnicSummse]

Wow... this is so huge... and its just crazy how many motors and pneumatics are in there.

I can't wait to see the video 

[PlastiBots]

Amazing.. Would like to see a video in action if you have something...

[Davidz90]

Waiting for a vide too... unbelievable model 

worm gears... soo many worm gears... 

[MattL600]

Very very impressive! I still can't believe it has 13 servos!

[nerdsforprez]

+1 for wanting to see a video.

Looks incredible though.

[DugaldIC]

That's incredible, I can't believe how complex you managed to cram that many functions into one controller. I'd love to see how it moves, well done!!! 

[WvG_853]

Amazing! I still remember your previous Ropa engine. It was one of the first MOCs I saw after coming out of my dark ages and I was flabbergasted by what one can do with Lego Technic. Seeing your new creation, I am again flabbergasted and very much looking forward to the video. This should absolutely appear in the EB Hall of Fame!

[AFOLegofan66]

Fantastic MOC with so many functions...awesome build!!

[Jurss]

I usallu just don't like big creations, but this is amazing. In the pictures it also somehow doesn't look large, I just now by tires, that it is very big.

[Aleh]

Monster MOC! Will we have a close-up photos? Made for exibitions!
