Five years ago I have shown model of Liebherr L580 loader:

Even then I did not liked its bucket, but there were no other way to have big and light bucket that fits to scale. Some time ago I have bought bucket from 42030 set and I tried to mount it on L580:

I did not succeded, because it didn't worked as I would like it to. So I decided to build new loader, that will work properly with new bucket.

In five days new model came to life, a Volvo L250G Wheel Loader.

Real machine:

And my model:

It weights 1,6kg and it's driven by single PF L motor:

Steering is achieved by single M motor and two small Linear Actuators:

The bucket is raised by single L motor:

And tilted by single M motor:

All motors are controlled by two IR receivers, and powered by Rechargeable battery box:

The cab has interior, but no opening door:

Comparision to L580:

Real machine uses reflective foil for improving its visibility in the dark. My model also has some reflective stripes:

And here you can see how it works:

Beautiful model, very smooth operation.

I love the windscreen wiper. My only minor comment would be on the rear mudguard, I would have liked a more continuous line there.

But apart from that it is perfect.

Beautiful job. I would imagine, after seeing this, the guys as TLG are kicking chairs around the office like Bad Cop in the LEGO Movie.

Thanks for you comments, I am glad that you like my Volvo :)

Looks amazing! Where did you get the reflective tape from ?

From shop with safety wear.

Do you think, that the previous bucket (from 8043) would even fit in any model with the unimog tires?

I think that it will only fit wheels from 8265.

In one word WOW!!!!

What a great model, will defenetly be building this one in the future, along whit the Liebherr.

i would buy instructions regardless of the price ...

Who knows, I might want to build this one some day...

So it seems that I will have to make instructions? :)
