[C-MODEL] 42094 - Snow Groomer

[Tomik]

Let me introduce you my latest alternative model built out of set 42094 - Snow groomer! It is already my third snowcat I've built out of LEGO Technic. You can see it here next to its lil bro from set 9391.

It features two manual functions:

• lifting snow plow by turning gear on the roof of cab
• lifting rear blade by turning lever behind engine cover

Since set 42094 contains just one linear actuator and no worm gears I used two shock absorbers to keep rear blade in two positions - up and down. The first version of model also featured gearbox for switching between functions above operated from same place on roof of cab. I had to remove it because gears were not able to transmit huge torque necesary for pushing springs on rear blade.

Building instructions are available at rebrickable.com

Any comments are welcomed.

Wow, I had the very same idea earlier today ! What a coincidence.   I doubt I could do as well as you, though. Actually, your C-model seems to be even better than the A and B model. Good job.

Wow, that's a perfect C model! Well done.

I think 42094 parts are very suitable for a snow groomer. Your model is very well done!

sweet! I have the groomer built from the arctic truck too, maybe that was your design as well!

Wow impressive   

i like the cabin design and the rear mecanism.

Any chance to have building instructions ?

Thank you for your comment. When I saw 3 alternative models from TGBDZ I've begun being afraid he would build snow groomer from this set sooner than me...

No, this was another builder. When I was looking for some inspiration I found out there are two alternative models of snow groomer for arctic truck from two different builders.

I plan to make them but don't expect them sooner than after two months.
