i think this is suppossed to be a radial not a rotary... they are completely different... radial= all cylinders are centered around a central point... rotary the piston is shaped as a triangle with curved sides that rotates inside of a cylinder... Radial rotary My link

i appeciate the pictures.. as for ground following.. i am trying to keep the weight down on the arms as my tests have show that they bend severly... i am going to add some cabeling for support for two reasons 1. to keep the joints from pulling apart from the weight. 2. and to support the bending... as for the look i am planning on running the cables through some pnuematic tubing or similar to simulate hosing... i might add two small pnuematic cylinders to the ends of the arms for support. i have tried but have been unsucessful in incorporating pnuematics to fold the arms other than than the main boom sections. i just dont think that the small cylinders can handle it. in strength or length. i have also redisigned the sprayer. the arms have been redesigned to recreate the original. i have replaced the motorized pump to two large hand pumps. i have redesigned the arms making the main part longer and the two outer sections have stayed the same. i have also added more detail in a walkway, exhaust and more. i am out of town but i will add pictures when i get home.

thanks guys... dluders- no i dont live on a farm but after leaving england i lived out in the countryside of wisconsin around alot of farms, and thank you for reposting the test video it hasnt been working for me for some reason... -gilby

i think the pnuematics will hold up the design right now is to have the M motor driving 2 6L pumps one for the up/down and one for the opening/closing... if i have to i will add an air tank to help... at this point i am still in design so no real pictures and the youtube video is here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhAK2Fl6vRY&feature=youtu.be pnuematic test which off road tires are you meaning in ldd these are the largest narrowest wheels on there. the ones on here are 96X22 like on the 8051 motorcycle... the main concern i have now is if the arms are to long they may sag... so i might have to add some cableing to support it. or i would have to shorten the arms... doing this would make it a little more practical but unrealistic -gilby

i will have to order parts... but yes as soon as possible i have built and tested part of it... the steering and the pnuematic sprayer arm opening and closing... heres the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhAK2Fl6vRY&feature=youtu.be -gilby

after mentioning i would like to see a self propelled sprayer in 2013 i decided i would design and build my own... i am still in the testing phase... making sure everything is going to work... but here is the design in LDD... SPECS 2 pnuematic pumps 4 large pnuematic cylinders 1 PF XL motor 2 PF M motor 2 PF IR recievers approx. 20 studs wide when folded approx. 60 studs long folded approx 25 studs tall arms approx. 260 studs wide extended uses large motorcycle wheels and tires 2WD arms each sectioned 4 times spray aprms lowered and lifted by 2 pnuematic cylinders main sprayer sections opened by 1 pnuematic cylinder each what it is supposed to look like base front view base side view opening hood and doors with inline 4-cylinder engine sprayer added with apporx. 128 stud long arm on each side sectioned into approx. 32 stud long folding sections close up of tank and pnuematics... battery box and recievers integrated into solution tank folded side view folded front view

IMO i would love to see john deere 4940 sprayer with pnuematics for the sprayer arms and power functions for the drive. i have not seen any sprayer ever put out by lego technic... but it would introduce some new thing and reintroducew others... ie john deere green panels... and large narrow wheels (unimog size but thin). sprayer

rodeown... regarding my video... i see what you mean by the limitations... to counter that i replaced the beams in one area with rubber bands which still steer the trailer but at max steer it still allows the hitch to turn without pulling the trailer with it...

imo the heli is a must the only thing i worried about was the implementing of power functions being like the 9395 tow truck. just an after thought and stuck in a horrible place. but as seen in the picture from the previous page you can see the motor tucked in right behind the gearbox...

rodeown... here is an idea for pushrods... i found the idea a long time ago on the web but cant remeber where... i built a mocup to demonstrate... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wl6dNyz0VFs&feature=youtu.be http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wl6dNyz0VFs&feature=youtu.be

IMO i would like to see some sort of tower crane... maybe even a mobile tower crane like the liebherr My linkMK100

though i like the idea of emergency vehicles...i dont think that anything other than a fire truck would be appropriate for the technic line... i could see them in another category but not technic...there would be no functions to them.

yeah i do plan on building it but i might be getting a job with the sherriffs department so i might have to move so it would be after that...

real thing er well a diecast model

what is deep linking exactly?
