Fantastic work, and I'm happy I was able to give a little inspiration! I like the system bricks, but only for the yellow parts. The black parts of the cab would be fine without any system bricks. I love the sliding door on the cab. The range of motion on the arm is great, and the extra feature of the side bending arm is a perfect addition. Great job!

Great job, and I'm happy to provide a little inspiration. I'm glad you were able to finish this, and welcome to Eurobricks!

Fair point. OK, so more than two functions.

That would be nice, but then it would mean TLG would need to design a set with more than one function.

Just make sure you have all those 3x3 discs. See if you can borrow them, as I'm not sure what I going to do with all of mine now.

Got it. Yeah, that's a great idea. I'll see what I can do. In the meantime, I have posted free instructions for the Tandem Disc Harrow to go with the Axron tractor. Enjoy. The harrow features a pneumatic lifting, and manual disc extension.

I tend to build this way too. I often find that MOCs look "undertired" when the tire size perfectly matches the scales size. As other have said, this is truly a great MOC. The colors looks great, and the shaping of the rear engine compartment is perfect. I remember through the development how you had some difficulty with the exhaust, and I think the solution you devised is perfect. While I have my issues with C+, I do think using it makes the MOC a little more future proof, so I respect your decision to use this rather than stick with PF. It's always tricky working pneumatics with motors, so well done incorporating the two. My favorite detail is the lifting rings that are on the rear bumper mounted studs sideways. It's little, but I love it. Congratulations on a great MOC.

Interesting idea. What would I use the splitter for? Running a pump to the front and rear of the tractor?

Thanks, yeah, the pump is a fun addition, particularly for the trailers. I have not found it too helpful for implements yet though. Thanks again, and let me know if you get a chance to build it. If green is tricky, black is a an easy solution I understand, thanks. Yep, that was the idea. Glad you like it.

Thanks! Yeah a little more weight on the front axle would be great. I need to come up with a good implement for the front. Hybrid? What do you mean?

Yeah, I like this one too. I love the exposed rear tires at the rear. The gentle up and down curve of the beltline is great too. Great job!

Alright, another tractor for the Thirdwigg Farm: The John Deere Axron. This is a blatant copy of the Claas Xerion, but I wanted to use some yellow wheels, and some of the newish green parts were on my list to use. The tractor is built in the same scale as the Atmos and the Scout, and features the same front and rear attachment points, so it cleanly integrates with all the trailers and implements. The tractor features: Four wheel drive Four wheel steering I4 fake engine (kindof) Rotating cab Rear PTO Rear pneumatic takeoff Front attachment Rear three point hitch Opening door Instructions are available for free at Rebrickable.com. Here it is attached to the Hookloadr Trailer. The cab rotates, but I don't have an implement to take advantage of this function...yet. And here are all the tractors together. Each tractor and implement can be found for free at Rebrickable.com. Finally a video of the Axron. Enjoy!

Thanks a lot, and I’ll keep trying more alt builds. It was good to start with a smaller set first. I’m glad you like it.

We also call them Tractor Trailers. Yeah, the yellow panels were well utilized in your MOC!

Thanks! Yeah, there are too few parts to keep the tractor and the trailer separate. Glad you like the tile top. Thanks a lot! I had some fun placing all the panels. Thanks so much. I know! I doesn't take that much effort, but I guess they have just given up and said, "rebrickable can do it for us." And frankly, that might be a better option these days. Thanks! I'm glad you like it. There was a moment while building where I was like "I can use the wheels here!" I'm happy I found the idea. Thanks! Yeah, I'll definitely try another B Model. I have 42139 now too, so I'll see what I can do with that one. It has more parts, which may help me a little more. But also more colors, which makes it a little harder. Yeah, Green and normal Blue are the two colors for which I keep shaking my head at LEGO. I would be great if both colors were fully built out. I'm glad you like it as the A model. Thanks for the comment. Or Tracuck? Track? Truck? Trutor? This is fun!

Great job with this alt build. Like others, I love the crane extension. An the outriggers are a perfect solution. It's crazy how such a simple solution can be so effective. Can I assume 42128 came from your TC22 win? Way to use the set for this build!

I finally broke down at bought LEGO 42136, and while it's not great, it's inexpensive and mostly green. I have never built an alternative model, so I figured this would be a good little set for me to try it out. This is the result. The articulated dumper features steering and dumping. Most of the parts from 42136 are used, with a couple left over (including spares). Dumping is manual. Steering is controlled by the HOG on the roof. Instructions are available at rebrickable.com if you are interested. I might have to try another B-Build, as it is an interesting challenge.

Because TLG needs you to also buy the helicopter they make after 42145.

As others have said, this is a great MOC. I also love the 1:10 scale a little better, as features on a 1:8 tend to be a little gummy for my liking. The bodywork is fantastic. Great job!

Very cool MOC! I love all the functions.

Many years later, I have finished instructions for this MOC. If you are interested, find the free instructions at Rebrickable.com.

I like it! I think the transparent bricks work well for the system style you have going on. I'm happy the oscillating arm idea worked for you.

Great job with this alt model!

Me too! I love it when what is generated here has interest elsewhere. Thanks for sharing @GerritvdG

Yeah, it's some interesting information, so it would be great to keep the data going as the contests continue. Assuming they do......
