Posted February 18, 20205 yr Let me introduce you my latest alternative model built out of set 42094 - Snow groomer! It is already my third snowcat I've built out of LEGO Technic. You can see it here next to its lil bro from set 9391. It features two manual functions: lifting snow plow by turning gear on the roof of cab lifting rear blade by turning lever behind engine cover Since set 42094 contains just one linear actuator and no worm gears I used two shock absorbers to keep rear blade in two positions - up and down. The first version of model also featured gearbox for switching between functions above operated from same place on roof of cab. I had to remove it because gears were not able to transmit huge torque necesary for pushing springs on rear blade. Building instructions are available at rebrickable.com Any comments are welcomed.

February 19, 20205 yr I think 42094 parts are very suitable for a snow groomer. Your model is very well done!
February 23, 20205 yr sweet! I have the groomer built from the arctic truck too, maybe that was your design as well!
February 23, 20205 yr Wow impressive i like the cabin design and the rear mecanism. Any chance to have building instructions ? Edited February 23, 20205 yr by GASimir

When I saw 3 alternative models from TGBDZ I've begun being afraid he would build snow groomer from this set sooner than me... 12 hours ago, erikhortsch said: sweet!

When I was looking for some inspiration I found out there are two alternative models of snow groomer for arctic truck from two different builders. 9 hours ago, GASimir said: Wow impressive i like the cabin design and the rear mecanism.
