falconluan replied to Thirdwigg's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingCool design and a nice match with the tractor Like the tailgate levering system a lot, works and simple -
falconluan replied to falconluan's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling@1gor Thank you and I think I've done enough for the C+ system, I will try to build a PF version of the T8 half trac next time. @zoo Thank you for the suggestion The black part supports the headlight can be changed to a blue one at the cost of the loosen headlight but I think it does look better. The DBG 32449 at the side of the hood can be changed to blue one as well since it is now available. Agreed The best part fits the shape and the size is 6575, only it needs LOTs of them lol...

falconluan replied to falconluan's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingRed or blue, which one do you prefer? Finally finished this, it took much longer than I've anticipated. The biggest change is now the front L motor is for steering while the rear one is for driving which is the opposite on my Magnum. The front motor now sits more till the rear to leave space for the hood. To be honest, the motor position is too much towards foward is one of the reason I chose to build a Magnum Now more possibilies are enabled based on the new holland chassis. Other changes include: Front axle is now suspensed Front hitch can self-lock which is only relying on friction before

falconluan replied to falconluan's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingIt is definitely worth trying! I do feel that the new parts in recent years help a LOT in building MOCs. I don't think I can build these tractors 5 years ago.

falconluan replied to falconluan's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingAs a following up to the wheeled version Magnum, its real world cousin, Magnum Rowtrac is now finished. As their real world counter part, the tracked version is modified from the wheeled one. While the front half of the tractor and the cabin remain the same, the other parts, like rear chassis, rear fenders, central saddle area and of course, the rear tracks are newly designed. The rear track is designed to act as closely as the real one, it is rather complex. As a result, the tracked version has 300 more pieces than the wheeled one(60 of them are track parts).Features: Drive by one C+ L motor Steering by one C+ L motor with steering wheel connected Manually switchable between 4WD/low speed and RWD/high speed modes Pivotable solid front axle Pivotable lower portion of the rear track Adjustable front hitch Adjustable rear hitch Front and rear PTO connected to drivetrain Detailed interior and decorations Modular design and building experience Video: will shoot a video shorterly after Pics: Instruction at RB is here More pics are at here Hope you like it

falconluan replied to falconluan's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingYes, and I choose to leave more RC functions and possibly a suspended front axle to this project: It has a 3L longer wheel base, which may help accommodate more functions. Thanks @1gor

falconluan replied to falconluan's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingHi everyone, I've finished my first motorized tractor MOC: Case Magnum Features: Drive by one C+ L motor Steering by one C+ L motor with steering wheel connected Manually switchable between 4WD/low speed and RWD/high speed modes Pivotable solid front axle Adjustable front hitch Adjustable rear hitch Front and rear PTO connected to drivetrain Detailed interior and decorations Modular design and building experience As mentioned at the beginning of this project, the C+ hub will be put on some implement at the back, will work on that real soon, please stay tuned Pics: Instruction at RB is here More pics are at here Hope you like it

falconluan replied to falconluan's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingWhen tested running it, this thing came up to my mind I think I will make one anyway although there is no good tires fit for it... On the other hand, instruction is in good progress
-
falconluan replied to falconluan's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingThanks to @1gor 's advice, the hood is now much more curvy than before
-
falconluan replied to falconluan's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingThanks again. Currently I aim to have only one motor for drive and one for steering, the internal space is really limited with the 4 wheel drive and 2 speed gearbox kept. Maybe will try add more motors in following models

falconluan replied to falconluan's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling@1gorThanks a lot for the suggestion buddy, your solution is quite inspiring. To let the parts at left and right side of the 3x13 panel follow the curve of the panel seems to be challenging. I noticed that your solution at 2022 is quite different from the solution at 2020. I will definitely try that. Yes, and haven't got those panels on hand yet, it will be great if they can match the curve of the 3x13 straight panels
-
falconluan replied to falconluan's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingSince no one has recognized it till now, probably a lot things need to be redesigned It is a Case Magnum and It looks like this now. As always, feedback is very welcomed. @1gor Thanks for the feedback, I may try to use some more 2x3 panel at the hood

falconluan replied to falconluan's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingHi, everyone, After some break, I started a new project, can you guess what it is based on the below pictures? Progress so far: The chassis is based on my MF7480, especially the front axle, gearbox part Powered and steering by 2 PU L motors, since there is little room available in the tractor, will put the hub on some implement at the back, such as a fertilizer spreader To reduce the speed, I used the wheel hub of 42129 at the back, while failed to put one at the front due to the limited space, so the speed difference between axles needs to be taken by the central diff. Did some test and it runs smoothly

falconluan replied to falconluan's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingI will definitely try to make it RC although quite concerned with its internal size available... Sounds interesting @Stereo Thanks for the suggestion. I tried to build it both in Studio and in real life, here are the results: Your solution also allow me to reverse the direction of the grey pin, so I can compare both of the looks in the render pics Here is the look of reversed pins in real bricks: Here is the look of the transe clear solution, please note that I have to change the bottom red structure to hold all stuff together. I prefer the look of this version, although I think the bottom needs a more tidy build...

falconluan replied to falconluan's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingHi @Jandel47, thank you for your kind words and your information and help on this MOC, they really helped a lot I tried to add dishes as front lights but not very pleased with its overall look. The lights on real tractor are caved in the hood while dishes are more outside of it. I actually wanted to invert the grey pin to have a more caved in look but there is no available space at the back of black 6536s with current setup. Here is a render with dishes anyway,

falconluan replied to falconluan's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingHi everyone, I've finished my first bigger tractor MOC: Massey Ferguson 7480 Features: Switchable AWD and RWD modes Pivotable solid front axle HOG steering with steering wheel connected Adjustable front hitch Adjustable rear hitch Front and rear PTO connected to drivetrain Fake inline 6 cylinder engine Openable hood Detailed interior and decorations Modular design and building experience Video: Here is what it looks like together with a diecast model: Some details: Chassis: Instruction at RB is here More pics are at here Hope you like it

falconluan replied to falconluan's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingGreetings, I began working on the instructions for it and now the chassis is finished. Still lots of work left to be done, please stay tuned.

falconluan replied to falconluan's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling@Jundis That's an interesting idea, I'll give it a try by filling the gap between the lift arm and top edge of hood and check the result. Still the lost of parallel relationship bugs me somewhat. Hi @zoo I need something to hold the hood tilt angle rigid, it doesn't show well in my pics, the 2L 41677 part at the left end of the "grey stripe" is connected rigidly with its right hole. If using a regular gray lift arm for the stripe, I'll need some connectors like 15100 to connect the both ends of it to form multi dimension angles, it then cannot help keep the hood angle rigid anymore. The hood has very limit available room especially in its front due to the fake engine inside it... Still, I'll try some more times, maybe I can find some good solution
-
falconluan replied to falconluan's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingA small update on the hood and steering column. The steering wheel is sitting higher than ideal, I ran out of ideas to improve... Now I need rework the front linkage to make it more sturdy and then only some misc stuff like mirror, exhaust pipe are left to be done.
-
falconluan replied to falconluan's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingAs with the other tractors in this thread, I will make instructions for it too, please stay tuned.
-
falconluan replied to falconluan's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingYou are correct on this. After recheck some images with Sariel's scaling tool, the slope of my hood is indeed too flat. The hood in last pic has some slope at the top, the end is 0.5 stud higher than the front, it's not obvious. I think I need some more redesign work here, since the white strape is in parallel with the hood top edge. It will become madatoray if the slope is more steeper than current setup.
-
falconluan replied to falconluan's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingRebuilt the hood, I don't like the holes either(They were used to represent the massey word on the bonnet, but it didn't work well I think). Also improved the gap version, hope you like the new one
-
falconluan replied to falconluan's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingThere are still lots of detail to be addressed, the overall setup and shape have been finalized though. There are some openings for ventilation on the bonnet, tried to mimic them but not satisfied with the results enough, another solution is don't have gaps at all. Which one do you prefer?
-
falconluan replied to falconluan's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingThat's very true. When building the drive mode switch, I felt that I was basically trying to fill every single cubic place of the central tunel structure. Now I'm trying to re-route the front PTO from the centor instead of previous position. Then let's have it!
-
falconluan replied to falconluan's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingSome update: I ditched the small turnable in the front axle using the big ball joint instead. By doing this, I can have more length for the fake engine, it also can prepare adding suspension to the front axle. Squeezed in a 4wd/rwd switch. Still figuring out the place for the control lever though. Rebuilt the rear hitch by making it more sturdy and compact. The front hitch needs to be rebuilt as well. The cabin and rear fender are almost finished. Will probably make a hole in the roof for HoG steering.
