42054 - Claas Xerion 5000 - MODs, Improvements, Attachments, etc

[Toitoine]

Thanks !

I added 2 clutch on both fonction of the crane

So no risk any more to break gears.

[Imanol BB]

That seems very nice Effe, do you have any plans for the PTO´s to make them move only when they need to?

[Dafgek81]

Hi, this is my first MOD posted here.

Before to receive the Xerion, I wanted to MOD it as well as the real one, with AWD and an engine under the hood.

Are you making some kind of instructions for these mods???

Would like them, because I ain't a modification and building expert.

More of a collector who uses other peoples mods on his collection.

[efferman]

This could be simple done with a additional pole reverser or a second receiver, but for me it is ok in this version.

[TechnicTobi]

Wow, Effe! I am always amazed how fast you get your mods done in LDD and in reality. RC is very well implemented and only the most important functions. Do you plan instructions?

[efferman]

I think this would be necessary. The build is not very complex, but a correct sequence of steps is at some points necessary.

[2LegoOrNot2Lego...]

Excellent MOD, I like it that you kept the steering switching manual...!

[Jim]

Merging with the MOD topic.

[Seasider]

is there an LDD somewhere for the original model ?

I'd like this to then base my MODs off

Very clever use of gear rack in steering mechanism :)

Thanks Efferman,

Is there a partslist for extra parts used?? I will surely download it, and when I get the set, I will mod it when I am building it.

[efferman]

Actually not, maybe you can compare it with siegfrieds file of the standard 42054

That is a good idea, then I can use LDD manager to get a partslist.

Is someone planning to reproduce this far better arm?

I have made it

I have made it

[metaltiger87]

I hope this adds a photo

If people like it i can try making a model in ldd

But it wil be my first model

Some side info

1 motor drives al funtions

The switches control the different functions

So bij turning the motor left or right you control the directions of the arm and rotation of the crane

I only need to make the gripper

[Siegfried Meyer]

Efferman, Im mostly impressed with the gearbox in this MOD of yours, well designed and actualy very compact think I might try this mod myself . Thanks for your LXF file.

Siegfried, i see you are using not a actual file. Please use this file

[Siegfried Meyer]

Siegfried, i see you are using not a actual file. Please use this file

Thanks

I see you've changed the diffs around

[efferman]

yes, one of the silly bugs which i have fixed

[Siegfried Meyer]

Effeman"s updated drivetrain / gearbox. I have colour-coded each function

Will build this MOD on the weekend, and give you feed back on how it works.

Implanting both steering and pendicular suspension in the front axle isnt an easy job... my mods to my boring "yellow" will be a V6 engine with 42030 parts, AWD with central differential, also lockable plus a crane based on 8258 with pneumatic extension of boom with arocs parts and pneumatic rotation and grabing, also some attachements for the crane, such as bucket, grab, drill and...

will be interesting indeed

Also a combine harvester attachment is a great idea, I would try to make the attachement actually "pick" things and drop it on a conveyor belt and a storage for it, since the top rear bonnet is empty and can be used for placement of a storage

A pneumatic auxillary output also looks sweet

Will be thinking what other mods can I do to increase its playablity even more!

[metaltiger87]

Hey guys

What do you think about a secondary output for the atachments

1 motorized like it is all ready

And a second one driven from the drive shaft

So one output will allways be driven when the truck is in motion

Optional is a clucht to disengage the drive so you have 2 controllable outputs for the attachment when stationairy

What do you guys think?
