Has this type of loader been built in technic? i dont know the exact english name for it but if i translate the swedish name its called a "rearloader"

I think it is an iconic machine here in sweden, and if i ever get a lot of yellow parts, i think i will build one.

Let me know what you think about the machine, and if you have seen something like it in technic.

Here is one.

And another.

I have never seen an official set of this kind of machine. But I don't have that much knowledge, though.

The closest to this that I know about, is the 8235 Front End Loader:

EDIT - you got there faster, Alasdair those 2 are fan MOC's, aren't they?

Yup, just seen Zoli's yellow one at the recent exhibition.

Yeb....well there on brickshelf so I am guessing they are.

One of these loaders is basically a tractor turned around,so it should not be too hard to make one.

I was a bit disappointed when I saw what kind of Volvo BM this topic contained questions about, I was hoping it was the tractor

I'm not too keen on this, uh, back end loader? Back loader? I'm more into the tractor

Yeah, isn't that the sole basic of this machine? A tractor with the cabin and front loader turned backwards?

oh wow, I really like the mechanisms! you should go ahead and make it anyway! Its different.

[matias bendtsen]

I made one too:

8853 from 1988 would be a closer match to what you are looking for. The loader arms go down the sides of the cab and it also has rear wheel steel.. I don't have it, but it was a nice mid-range set.

[N-4K0]

Ah, I've just briefly seen a pic of that one. Didn't remember it. Yeah, that's probably the closest you can come, although it doesn't look very big.
