Posted December 26, 201410 yr Hello members, Its a long time ago since I presented you my latest creation, but I´m still building models. In this topic I want to present you my entry for the 6th technic contest: Its a Case TR 270 compact loader It is very suitable for the sBrick. It has 4 functions with 4 M motors. One for the left crawler, 1 for the right crawler, 1 for raise the boom and finally one for the shovel. The shovel can be replaced very simple. Its only hold by a axle thanks to the quick coupler. Here are some pictures: Side view Bottom: More pictures can be found on my Flickr page. And finally a video! Hope you enjoyed it! Feel free to comment I wish every contestant good luck ;) Edited January 18, 201510 yr by dfs473
December 26, 201410 yr What a nice idea for 4 functions model! You did a great job with this one, I love the black tracks and the use of big and small LA's. Cant wait fior video.
December 26, 201410 yr Very nice and extremely compact! I like how you put the driveshaft for the small LA on the arm
December 26, 201410 yr Very nicely done. Typically CTLs (Compact Track Loaders) come with rubber (not steel) treads, though not sure there is a Lego one that could fit. Nonetheless, you have replicated the 4 basic functions of such machine in a very nice/compact way. Edited December 26, 201410 yr by DrJB
December 26, 201410 yr Nice. Look forward to the video and to see the functions in action. Where did you get the black tracks? H
December 27, 201410 yr ... Where did you get the black tracks? ... They were first available in the Mars Mission MT-61 Crystal Reaper , and lately introduced in several Bionicle/Technic/Mindstorms sets. http://www.bricklink...colorID=11&in=A Edited December 27, 201410 yr by DrJB
December 31, 201410 yr Author Nice. Look forward to the video and to see the functions in action. Where did you get the black tracks? H I use the ones from the Technic set 8263. Finally updated the first post with new pictures and a video. Enjoy For more pictures visit my Flickr page. I´m now working on a LDD file for that beast! Edited December 31, 201410 yr by dfs473
January 19, 201510 yr There will be maybe even 4 or 5 tracked loaders, this one really might be the best! Compact, great use of space for the mechanics, nicely executed function and good look! I am building also one, but slightly bigger.
January 19, 201510 yr I hope so! And I hope that everybody else who is building tracked loaders will finish them, so we could have proper battle :)
January 20, 201510 yr Not a big fan of "yet another loader", but I must admit.....this one is very well done! It's compact, looks great, works like a charm. My compliments

My compliments ditto XD I agree with jim, I'm not to crazy about loaders, but this one deserves the recognition and applause. This is extremely well built and very well designed, well done.
January 20, 201510 yr beautiful, compact design .. reminded me of a little robot cleaning our Earth... wally ;)
January 21, 201510 yr reminded me of a little robot cleaning our Earth... wally ;) I had the exact same feeling!

February 12, 201510 yr Wow, I really like this one Neat little beast with excellent working functions. Good luck for the contest, you should win
February 13, 201510 yr Woww, i like it so much! looking forward for instructions 'cause would like to add to my collection. is just my opinion or this boom seems like too big for the model? maybe the 8853 would fit better, but this is just a particular
March 11, 20159 yr Nice looking moc! Any progress with the instructions? Looking forward too build it myself
March 12, 20159 yr Superbly compact and the scaling is all lovely. I would love to see some instructions for this. :o)
