[MOC] New Holland Tractor with Front Loader

[Jundis]

Looks great! 

One thing: The movement of the bucket is very limited. Did you try to achieve a bigger angle?

Of course it looks better with Zetros tires, but one question arises to me (since I'm lazy to read first post): you implemented just rear wheel drive or 4wd?

The dumping angle is indeed limited - spent many evenings trying to find a mechanism that was compact, had good range of movement and that would stay mostly horizontal during lifting (to also be able to attached a palletfork). In the end it was a tradeoff between dropping the parallel linkage and the range of movement and I settled on this :)

No four wheel drive unfortunately - Would have no idea how to fit that in! (the motors for the loader take up most space under the hood, and right below is the servomotor for steering)

That was my assumption when you mentioned that your model took inspiration from front part of @eric trax's New Holland T140...anyways it looks very nice IMHO

After I got a couple of requests, I have made instructions for the tractor! 

You can find them on rebrickable: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-97159/Arjo/rc-new-holland-tractor-with-front-loader/

It is my first set of instructions so any feedback is appreciated :)

I'll need to buy some of the parts (buwizz) but i will build this marvelous model!

GREAT job man!

After looking (and downloading instructions) u can only repeat myself - beautiful 

In the meantime I got one idea, but I don't know if it is ok with you, for white rims on NH Tractor; front could be from 42124 buggy, but perhaps those with white 6 x 6 dish inverted could be useful?

...but when I see the price I almost got heartache...

Now I see why you could not remain proper width; there are 3 PF motors (giving 9 studs overall width) in the way if you don't want rubbing rear tires to m-motors...that us why I switched to XL motors - they are shorter...

Pffff... nice idea but that price... Maybe I could work out how to somehow attach these:

Mwah, that was mainly my inexperience and not using a proper blueprint (only pictures). There is still at least half a stud on each side of clearance between the motors and the wheels, even if you take the 'bending' of the wheels into account

Tires from 8880 set work only with axles like on this set's rear wheels https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?S=8857-1

I was thinking about those wheels (I have 2 in white) with pulleys...

 

 

The price of those wheels is not that acceptable...but better than ones from 41999 set https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=32077#T=S&C=1&O={"color":1,"iconly":0}
