falconluan replied to falconluan's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingFinally got some time to finish the video: Please allow me to show you the glory of the good old 8284 set Also in case anybody wants to take a look at the 8284 with new tractor tires: Again, the diameter diff between front and back tires results a more modern look than the original tire set. -
falconluan replied to Jim's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling8284 Tractor Functions: - HoG steering - Live front axle - fake inline 4-cylinder engine - Rear PTO (directly connected to rear Diff, NOT on-off controlled via the red handle) - Adjustable rear hitch - Foldable windrower Free instructions at Rebrickable Pics: Original model: Video: Discussion topic:

falconluan replied to falconluan's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingThanks. To be honest, I thought it would be an easy work as well at the beginning. During building it, I tried to keep the exact proportion as far as I can do. As a result, it took a lot more iterations than I've expected, especially for the chassis, engine and hood. On the other hand, 8284 is a big but relative simple set after all, and that's why I managed to be able to build both the original(872 parts) and shrink model(516 parts on tractor itself) at the same time. No, not all the features. The red level on the 8284 can control the rear PTO while on my model it doesn't work, it's only a decoration. All the rest functions work the same way as the original. I'll highlight both on the entry post.

falconluan replied to artemisovsky's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingWow, this is a great looking model, it captures the original model very well

falconluan replied to falconluan's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingThank you guys for all the kind words! @MangaNOIDThanks and this is an easy suggestion to follow! @Jundis Applied both of your advises and it now looks like this, thank you again Spent a lot of time during the weekend for the instructions, now the tractor has been built.

falconluan replied to falconluan's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingThank you and please keep up your good work as well!

falconluan replied to falconluan's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingFinalized the tractor now, thanks again @Jundis for your suggestion about the 4L wide hood, I think it looks much better than the previous version Now moved to the windrower Any suggestion is welcome!

falconluan replied to falconluan's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling@Thirdwigg Oh, it's okay, it's buried deeply among the pics @MangaNOID Thanks for your comment, I've modified the cockpit slightly, how do you think of it now? Also, I tried to widen the hood, it may look like this: Still need to make it more sturdy...

falconluan replied to falconluan's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingNo, it's just for the looks, like I mentioned here

falconluan replied to falconluan's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingFinally almost finished the tractor itself, most of the work has been done in last weekend Made a funny and stupid move below as removing one set of gear resulted opposite steering control... I must have been too obsessed with its look back then With some accessories added, they look like this now(Oh, the red handle on the smaller version is just for decoration): Widen the hood seems to be an must have upgrade now... Then you have them Lastly, a new idea came to me when I saw this:

falconluan replied to Thirdwigg's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingTo keep the 70% proportion and the most similarity, I'll use 56mm balloon at the front while 68mm balloon at the back. For the proportion of more modern middle-big tractor(250-300 hp or so, for example, New Holland T7), 56mm front tires need 75mm back tires at the best. From this perspective, the back tire size is too small on the original 8063/8284 set, 107mm will give a more modern look.

falconluan replied to falconluan's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingGood idea! I'll try that. I've also got rid of the 20T to 12T bewel gears on the HOG path to make the HOG axle further front to make the model look more like the original. So @MangaNOID I gave up my attempt of the better steering control feeling in the end. , I'll try that as well. 70% of 5 studs is 3.5, so 3 or 4 are both reasonable value. Using 4 studs wide will also allow more details at the front and currently, I'm not satisfied with the solution of the front end, it is a little bit wobbly.

falconluan replied to falconluan's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingRebuilt the central chassis, seat, eng block and now it looks like this. Also made some progress of the original model, they are at similar stage in the pictures. I'll try to keep the steps of my instruction somewhat aligned with the original model.
-
falconluan replied to falconluan's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingA good suggestion, thanks! I'll change to a black 20T to hide it a little bit. I'm stick to the 20T and 12T to have the better steering control here. 16T will make the steering feeling more direct to my taste. A another update. The chassis and hood have been basically rebuilt and now it looks a tiny bit more like the original set.
-
falconluan replied to falconluan's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingThe shrinking process turned out to be more difficult than I thought since my goal here is to achieve as much as proportional with the original set. Here is some progress, still lots of places need rework.
-
falconluan replied to Jim's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingDespite we chose the similar original model and will build the same scale(same wheel choice), I think we will end up quite different models in the end. We are using different approaches, @Thirdwigg is building outlines first while I'm basically using an inside out approach. The end result of us will be quite interesting.
-
falconluan replied to falconluan's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingMade some more progress. The proportion is a little bit off, will adjust it later. @Thirdwigg Here is a close look at my steering solution, the blue clutch gear drives a 12 teeth gear underneath.
-
falconluan replied to falconluan's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingNo, not exactly like the original, I'm using a blue 20 teeth clutch gear on the engine axle to route the steering. Will put the pics here soon

falconluan replied to falconluan's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingMore progress of the referenced 8284 and initial progress of my smaller version.

After months of break, I decided to continue my tractor series MOC creation and then TC25 kicked off. I'm trying to build a tractor in similar scale with my other tractor MOC, which is 56mm front wheel and 75mm back wheel. Of course, the chassis and bodywork will be newly designed. I chose 8284 and will try to accommodate its features into the smaller scale, not include the clutch function I guess. To have a good reference, I will build a 8284 using my part storage and post comparison photos with the smaller version in this thread, so please keep tuned. Here is the initial progress: back chassis of 8284

falconluan replied to falconluan's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingGlad you like it and it looks cute in smaller scale!

falconluan replied to falconluan's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingThanks for your support! Please let me know your feedback on the model and its instructions. Also it will be nice if you can share your mods here once done

falconluan replied to falconluan's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling#2 CLAAS Axion Terra Trac As its real world counter part, it is easily modified from a normal wheeled Axion 900 . The modified area is rear axle, central area and rear fender(the track is longer while lower than wheel, so the tank is moved from center to the rear fender position) . Features: Pivoted solid front axle Pivoted rear track HOG steering Adjustable front hitch Adjustable rear hitch Rear PTO connected directly with rear differential Modular design: chassis, rear hitch, cabin are built separately Instructions on RB: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-130219/ Video introduction is on the way More Pics at: bricksafe link A closer look at the rear track: Thanks for watching!

falconluan replied to falconluan's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingYes, 4x4 dish will be better here, it is thinner which makes extra weight addon possible. However, it is an aged part now...

falconluan replied to falconluan's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingThe diameter of rim is a little bit larger than the actual scale. So I used a smaller cover to make the tire visually thicker than it is.
