    Now I realize that it is actualy 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 model 4 x 4 - drive x 4 - steering x 4 - fake 4 cylinder V configuration engine It seems like you enjoy being photographer

    At the end sprayer moc finished just fine. You inspired me to start my own topic with half a year old project - John Deere R4038 self propelled sprayer chassis with flotation tires

    @Leonardo da Bricki front grill is really great - even color combo is good despite similarities with police cars. About photo quality I could say that @Jim has now serius competition. And "potato special" is very cool album name, but I wont show it to pesants around here - they all are growing potatos and me as more rice guy do not come along in best way.

    Hi U do not use age as reference; because I've noticed that long time ago (working last 12 years in education) that you do not need to be older in order to be smarther; you learn whole life long and die as dope So with your attitude you are more serius and mature than most of my colleges (ok they are stucked in communism...). For cvt idea and LEGO solution is based on parts available. It is always cool to accept the challenge, but first you're making what you are certarin and then the rest. Dont stuck like me on self propeller sprayer model on front right wheel hub for half a year, where hydrostatic drive can not be represented correctly but with gears that slide beause this machine has independent all wheel suspension, so I agree on lack of LEGO realism because of parts

    Well I hope it is no petrified wood gemstone either, otherwise gemstone lovers will put a spell on him

    Leo, Sure it is a Monster...now when my Unimog is finished I can look arround . Looking at your monster on a first sight I thought you run over a potato when showing flexibility of Monster's suspension (Monster with capital M - it is trucks name )

    What I'm pointing my young friend is that with LEGO parts you can not make cvt that behaves as hydrostatic cvt, so as you mentioned you can not replicate it accurate. Another problem with pneumatic systen is that it uses air; so one simple lesson from school air can be compressed and liquid not. Speaking of compression there is sonething called LEGO pneumatic pump which when motorized can behave as pneumatic compressor and with air tank you have some possubilities. Give me some time to find a video dealing with pneumatic cvt valve control, so you can see principles (unfortinately it is to big for your model). In real world internal combustion engine (in most cases diesel engine) is used as hydraulic pump for hydraulic system.

In the meantime I have found out that solution about I was talking by @Mark Bellis can be found along with discussion here My suggestion is to finish model first without cvt, and then you'll see what to do with it (under "it" I mean cvt). It would be real pitty that you run out of time because of cvt because it is a great project

    Just one hint - the only way to simulate hydraulic system is to put destilated water in pneumatic system.

    I agree partially but you have to realize that machinery uses hydrostatic cvt, with one hydraulic pump and one hydromotor. As a professor I give you one homework - study how hydrostatic cvt works

    @Saberwing40k just explaned very simply and with good intentions. CVT is like when you leave water when you wash your hands; there is no precize ratio on watetflow, just two extreme states fully open or fully close and there are no steps between. Differential compensate difference in between rotation factor on shaft or axles; eyample why do we need differential on driven axles - to compensate different wheel speeds in corner because outer wheel travels longer way...so CVT is something completely different. I've spent lots of conversation with good friend of mine who is ing.at CLAAS (and LEGO enthusiast) but true CVT is not possible... Sorry to dissapoint you, when you look on my (old) Brickshelf folder, you'll understand my dissapointment

    Thank you (both - for compliment and corrections)
  12. 1gor
    Thanks Fabian, unfortunately due to limited resources and mandatory Software on my PC I can not use other like LDD, or anything similar. It is easier for me to make additional parts like axels and upload photos... Honestly I'm very satisfied with model which is unlikely for me, but proportiob are correct, functionality is simple but satisfing, and has all tipical Unimog features like portal suspended axles, central differential, steering is better than on 8110 set (ok it is half a size of Arocs)...and finaly Unimog Implement Carrier that fits the scale of my other machinery...

    So far it is not possible to make proper LEGO CVT for Industrial purposes based on available parts...If you do not believe me, please first look at videos of CVT principle and how does CVT works on www.fendt.com. I know what is disappointment when you realize tjat CVT is not functioning in LEGO world

    This is a nice wish

    Fellow Eurobrickers, this is the final stage of Unimog U423 Long wheelbase, as you can see 3 way tilting platform is finished (which is the most used "attachment" on Unimogs). Tilting platform solution is very similar to one that Michael Wirth - @efferman made (I found that later when searching the Internet for some better idea than mine with small Linear Actuator, he uses big one...) but only with small LA. so let the images talk for themself As you can see when red switch is in back position it switched e-motor to Linear Actuator, and when it is switched in front position, e-motor powers on both front and read pto... In the future I'll try to make axles more narrow (have some prototypes for front axle, but everything at it0s time...) @schraubedrin you can check if my model is worthy by comparing it to one on Gaggenau area...despite they are now built in Wurth

    Well your Emoticon describes it well, but I have some green mocs, so sometimes green is desired...but I think there is all that I need in green in my Inventory.
  17. 1gor
    Better is second one but it has a hole
  18. 1gor
    Hm, orange ones in 2016, violet in 2017, who knows in what color they make them next (2018) year?
  19. 1gor
    You just red my mind

    Unfortunately my father got back to jugoslavia where everyone wo respects western world is prpagated to be a fascist, and today is more or less the same. Father often talks about 24-7 testing procedures, so I have this incurable disease called Unimog in me (That is why I'm finishing my U423 which has its own tread here...) When I first saw black Porsche my first thoughts were - really cool. I'm part of minority that actually like black Porsche that in orange. Probably in my subconscious is first elfer turbo generation. Question is only which black panels are we still missing? Perhaps in new violet color it would be nice. Wait a minute; Unimog, classic Porsche uh, I'm old(timer)

    Also off topic but honestly I have some kind of connection to Unimog. My father worked in Gaggenau Unimog plant in late 60s and early 70s, so when my wife bought me U400 I was excited until it was finished. Then desaster - steering was very difficult and steering angle...you understamd. That is one of reason for my version of Unimog (model U423). On the other side Arocs had great steering and it is almost twice long as my Uninog in same scale and it is really heavy. I red allof your and Pawel's reviews because both of you are IMHO most correct in reviews (or so far it happened that I had the same expetience so I remember something - offcourse with sets that I have). Just one small suggestion about reviews; perhaps it would be usefull that reviews are pinned for current year models, example your review of 42070 could be pinned during this year and unpinned at the begining of year 2018. Sorry for very long reply, but as you allready said: now back to topic

    Even sets containing this part in white were not cheap and above that they didn't have much of that parts included
  23. 1gor
    @Jim is excited about truck with portal axles - that's new - probably his face color is different then when reviewing Unimog U400
  24. 1gor
    Good point; the only usage is to prepare them for plastic recycling...
