    I like small models, and B - model - telehandler has almost same functionalities as 8295 set

    I like 42004 B - model more than A - model, but it is just my opinion

    It is nice to have thin liftarms with axlehole at the end in red color

    Intention to use less parts as possible is always good; after years of complicated mocs (tractors with engine, transmission, all wheel drive, front pto, rear pto, front drawbar, rear drawbar...), I have decided to make characteristical functionality for particular moc + steeting and drivrtrain and eventually suspension. This later philosophy is only possible with simple and sturdy design - with less possible parts BTW valve idea is really good

    You mean less backslash then older with 4 teeth Nice find

    Or you can on black version make light bluish gray bottom with light bluish gray beams and panels, so you do not need so much black 5 x 7 frames

    I have even recreate this set in after 2008 colors http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=497487
  8. 1gor
    Yes, but IMHO 8455 is ultimate set when I talk about pneumatic

    I saw your model years ago when looking (perhaps) to find some solutions for my Fastrac 3230 years ago...as you can see my previous design is also not perfect, but it was long ago...and we have new parts etc http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=365325

    one stud more floor clearance is desired, but now I have noticed that you have yellow 6 x 6 dishes inverted ...that is something that I would like to have for my Fastrac

    Ant if I may add my simple wish - smaller tractor tires to make it like real backhoe...it was long ago that we had proper backhoe; 15 years ago, in 2003 set 8455

    Agree , my solution for steering will be ordinary 4 wheel steering. Because of suspension it would be too wobbly to add additional steering modes and real fastrac has this five front steering proportional 4 wheel steering delayed 4 wheel steering (when rear axle starts to steer later) true track steering (rear axle steering is steered in angle that on steering rear tires follow the track of front tires) crab steering

    first image is from below, but also I could mixed tires up yes, but my ultimate goal was to make 8330 model, who knows if LEGO makes 95 tires that it could fit my smallest Unimog version (1:18) Even 1:15 Unimog will be only 3 studs longer and with as you said realistic width - 18 studs with 68.8 tires and frames 5 x 7 to give maximal stiffness to axles and with central differential, but that in another project, this one is just at the beginning, but could result in a small JCB family one day...we'll see
  14. 1gor
    That was my primary goal - to make it stiff as possible. Of course I'll make some modifications in future, to hide whatever I can, but for the moment I'm looking how to pack both battery box and m-motor with 4 functions in middle part of chassis (the thing that is making me easier is that 4220 does not need central differential for 4 wheel drive like tractors with bigger rear wheels )
  15. 1gor
    Thanks, axles were developed few weeks to be stiff enough and to enable as big as possible steering angle. ...and whole width is 21,5 studs (21.5 * 7,9375 * 15 ~~ 2550mm) I'm afraid that there will be no space due to suspension for steering models like on CLAAS and JCB has 5 steering modes
  16. 1gor
    In the meantime while waiting for parts (for Unimog) to arrive i was playing with Fastrac. At the moment it is 1:15 scale Fastrac 4220 due to only one truly tractor tire size availability. Part of front chassis and middle part i finished to some degree. Battery box should be situated below, front axle (and rear) is finished, but now I have to develop steering system for 4 wheels steering... If you have any suggestions, you are wellcome, of course if you do not like something please let me know

    Usually machinery is to wide for ordinary trailer, so they use trailere with max width 3000mm (if I remembered correctly) and in some cases (when transporting big harvesters) that is not enough so people need to dissasrmble wheels to be within permitted width It is hard to tell because I do not know which real model represents and I can only use seats as scale indicator....1:20-22...something like 42053 set

    Based on chassis width (19 studs) it should be some 1:16.5; chassis is 2500mm wide on real truck. Real truck has conti 385/65r22.5 tires which are 1066mm in diameter and comparing this to 62.4 tires gives scale 1:17...

    BTW @Paknaloid Mack Anthem (tire 49,5 x 20 ~~ 1030mm which is nower days often used by us trucks) and CLAAS Xerion (107 x 20 ~~ 2150mm tire 900/60r42 as often used tire on Xerion) both fit in aproximately same scale 1:20. So you can make your Mack Anthem dump truck for crops or similar and you only need harvester (example CLAAS Lexion)
  23. 1gor
    Or it has to be that I have bad vision (sight) It also looked like your MOC has tires on right side turned in wrong direction
  24. 1gor
    Good start, but on first post it looks like showel is much wider than tires, is this the same on original loader?
  25. 1gor
    Milan you're wellcome When I calculate scale for 62,4 tires it would be huge, so only something like hook loader truck will be manuverble and playable enough...
