aol000xw Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) Does this thing have suspension in real life? My guess is no. edit: Slow poster here, already answered, thanks. Edited January 27, 2016 by aol000xw
1974 Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 The only thing that is suspended is the Cab in the real Claas, AFAIK the tires act like suspension Thats what I thought, so complaing about the lack of suspension is a bit daft
Siegfried Meyer Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 My thoughts exactly This is a CLAAS not a MB Track
1974 Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 They could have used the batterybox as the front counterweight (maybe make it black?) and had a proper engine inside instead But maybe it's not possible to have the wheels drive it with that sterring setup?
allanp Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 As much as I really like and will definitely get at least one (probably more than one) I would also have liked to see some kind of drive train for the wheels to a motor or fake engine. Would have been a great opportunity to get planetary gear reduction wheel hubs.
Zerobricks Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Look at around 30 seconds: The real deal seems to have a pendular front axle. I am pretty sure adding a drive would be easy, since the massive wheels have to be supported by hubs and where there are hubs you can easily stick in CV joints. But that kind of drive is only suitable for a fake engine, not real off road crawling. For that you need portal hubs and even more room between fenders! I hope Lego at least made the front axle pendular, its not a really hard thing to do.
British Bob Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Wow! New tires?! Awesome! I can't wait to have a better look at it!

Bering Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Thats what I thought, so complaing about the lack of suspension is a bit daft Even 8849, 8284, 8063 had suspension, as almost every tractor has. A bad miss on the Claas in my opinion.
1974 Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) I don't think it has any suspension besides the tyres and the cab I've read the 65 page pdf and suspension is only mentioned with regards to the cab Wheel's seem to fix to the frame Edited January 27, 2016 by 1974

tripletschiee Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 At least here it says "Pendelachse vorne".
1974 Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) Is an undamped trailing arm a suspension? Hmm .. Edited January 27, 2016 by 1974
Bering Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 I checked the part list of the three sets and I didn't found any suspensions. Check "pendular" suspension. All three models have it.
Strojnik80 Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) For pendular suspension I can't say anything because I don't own any of them. But for normal spring suspension they don't have it. Edited January 27, 2016 by Strojnik80
1974 Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 At least here it says "Pendelachse vorne". Odd, there's nothing in that pdf
tripletschiee Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Odd, there's nothing in that pdf Not in the pdf, but in the website itself it says "Pendelachse vorne".
1974 Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Yes, I understand but that pdf is very comprehensive. Why leave out such an important feature?
Bering Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Claas Xerion 5000 TRAC has pendular suspension. For the non-believers: http://
zweihander Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Not in the pdf, but in the website itself it says "Pendelachse vorne". It also says "Gefederte Vorderachse: Nein", which translates to "Front axle suspension system: No"
Siegfried Meyer Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) If you want it, MOG it that's the fun of it.. TLG can't do everything for Us demanding AFOL's Edited January 27, 2016 by Siegfried Meyer
Jump Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) Alternative model seems nice as well: Source: promobricks on facebook: Edited January 27, 2016 by Jump
EyesOnly Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 When looking at the english page i see front swing axle mentioned under Machine equipment. Yet at the left is does indeed say Front axle suspension: no. So what gives? I did i search for front swing axle and can't really decide on the results. Here is wikipedia on swing axles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swing_axle. But the tractor doesn't have suspension so maybe it's optional?
XAxles Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Well, well, well. Looks like the B-model did it better.
