eric trax Posted October 19, 2020 Another month, another model :D This time I come back to agricultural machinery. I built the 150 hp Case 1455 XL tractor and the Bunning Lowlander 105 mk4 manure spreader. For comparison, photos of real machines CASE 1455 XL The tractor is built on the chassis I used in the previous ones. After many tests and delicate modifications, it turned out to be very reliable and solid. In addition, it is very versatile - it allows you to build most tractors in the power range of 140 to 170 km in a 1:17 scale. It have four functions, large motor for driving, servo for steering, medium motor - PTO and medium motor for three-point hitch system. The previous ones, has SBricks for controll the model. This one has two IR recivers. Some of the people buying building instructions asked, if there was a chance to replace the sbrick, so I met the expectations. My favorite element of this model is the hood. It could be a standalone set from the creator series :D Fortunately for me, 1x1 brackets appeared, without them it would not be possible to build it. Bunning Lowlander 105 mk4 The first problem I encountered when trying to build a spreader was the choice of the model itself. They are all divided into high and low frame ones. As I wanted to use agricultural tires, I chose the low frame. I chose the blue Bunning Lowlander. Very nice because it has detailed side boards, a lot of details and interesting colors scheme. In fact, the model is very simple. Its mechanisms are limited to sliding floor chains and spinning shafts. I added a tensioning mechanism for flor chains by using a shock absorber and it works very well. The whole thing looks good and I like it very much. You can find building instructions here: Selfy: https://sellfy.com/m1longer/ Rebrickable: https://rebrickable.com/users/M_longer/mocs/ The whole thing, although rather simple, gave me a lot of fun. Especially the spreader. Down below You can find photos and a short video presenting the possibilities of the set. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1gor Posted October 19, 2020 You know I'm starting to be jealous how much you can make with your free time since I have none to work on my Fastrac... Really nice and realistic build (again). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MP LEGO Technic creations Posted October 19, 2020 Fantastic work...again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jundis Posted October 19, 2020 Oh man, what a beauty! Such clean lines and efficiency like the narrow turning radius. This model again screams for 75...80 tires with tractor profile :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TeamThrifty Posted October 19, 2020 (edited) I loved that series of tractor when i was a kid, that and the earlier one when it was just IH, before the case takeover. I had all the brochures, but mid 80's technic wasn't as good... and i was 10.. so my efforts weren't very realistic! (4wd, steering and a realistic track width with the old 80mm(?) tyres... impossible!! but massive fun still...) Takes me back!! Awesome model!!

So far I have made this render. Isn't that beautiful? Edited October 20, 2020 by eric trax Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1gor Posted October 20, 2020 @eric trax Render is beautiful ; The only good news is that curved 3 x 13 panel fits hood line perfectly, so I have base, but need to see how to fill it to make it mostly technic...another one if TLC will make 94.8 tractor tire (And curved tapered panel 3 x 13 similar to one 5 studs wide in Sian, then new 8000 series jcb in 1:18 scale will be possible...but hen project that I work on since spring will be unusable since it is 1:15...

Isn't that beautiful? A bit too many and too small treads on those front tires, I'd say. :) That Case IH traktor is realy sweet though! Great job!

My models have all their own concept; so there is no same platform or something; specially as I'm trying to make models with less parts possible... If you asked me I'm happy with this tractor tire that we already have... Kind regards my friend Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
