It looks just like a Hydraload too! -
Chiron gearbox problems

Both dramatically and drastically. You know they're serious... -
42108 JCB Roto Telehandler
Maaboo the Witch replied to mpj's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Woah. One of the best C-models ever and just another reminder that TLG should have the JCB license for Technic. -
If all the gearbox does is alter the speed/horsepower of the hauler, then that's a missed opportunity in my book. I think TLG is, as they did initially with PF, squandering the potential of C+ if all it's going to be used for is speed control. It's clear that this has come at the cost of suspension, which defeats the purpose of this vehicle and more or less dishonours the Technic principle of realism, not to mention making hash out of the horsepower variable. And where is the freakin' TAILGATE? Still liking that hood, though.

Actually it looks pretty flush to me. The A60H is a really wide beast, so of course narrower sections of the chassis would look out of scale or position when viewed from certain angles.

No, it definitely looks like there's some oscillation there. Thing is, wouldn't it be listed with the other features if it were present?

Giant tractor

"Keep it simple". It's a phrase espoused by TLG's own Alfred Pedersen, and will serve you well, @howitzer. -
Looks like most of the parts go into the dump bed.

Don't be discouraged, Sariel. I'm with you on this one. -

One thing that's bothering me about this build is the rear axle lifting up the chassis. Traditionally tractor bodies are completely level and the suspension is minimal. You're putting too much effort into that. Focus more on a system that can power implements, or distributing the weight better. -
Yeah, I mentioned that. Looks like an oscillating joint.

This is the kind of vehicle that demands suspension. If 8264 has it, then including it here should be a no-brainer.

Think the site has problems. Shame, since it's the only image I could find.
