I'm planning to build a series of tractor mocs and here is the 7th of them: Case IH Magnum Rowtrac

 

Index:

• Case IH Magnum Rowtrac

 

• Case ih magnum

• Massey Ferguson 7480

• CLAAS Axion 900

• CLAAS Axion Terra Trac

• New Holland T7 HD

• Steyr Terrus

 

 

 

#1 CLAAS Axion 900

Features:

• Pivoted solid front axle
• HOG steering
• Adjustable front hitch
• Adjustable rear hitch
• Rear PTO connected directly with rear differential
• Modular design: chassis, rear hitch, cabin are built separately

So no front PTO nor 4 wheel drive due to its small size, sorry guys...

Instructions are at:

Hope you like it!

Thanks for watching.

it would be better to use Zetros tires at the back (but do not ignore that Lego tires make machinery way to wide and specially at such small scale)

Besides the wider width, the diameter of Zetro tires is a little bit too large for this MOC, the 42124 tire is almost perfect match diameter-wise. So I'm with the group that insists T:G should release more types of tractor tires!  

Nice little tractor :-) Especially the fender looks really good!

All the Lego tires are bigger than usual. We could always wish for more tires but I think can also be grateful that at least we have 3 tractor tire sizes available now :-)

if i repeat what i think about missing 90-95mm (and 68-75mm) tractor tire @Milan would popup and say stick to the topic

I saw your post in that thread and that was before I started making this tractor . Now I totally agreed with you on your point.

I also try to make some tractors, but missing 90-95mm tired forced me to improvise because I'm trying to switch from 1:15 to 1:18 scale

Nice use of the RC car/Ford Craptor tyre! It'd be great to have some of those in different sizes as well.

42007 has 102mm in the same tread but a bit to thin

Really nice tractor.

I also like rear fenders.

Front hood seems to be missing something. But that shape is pretty hard. So it is OK.

Non-bike sizes, then.

i know what you mean; I just want to point out that lego has appropriate pattern and diameter mould...

Yeah. The bike versions actually make good row-crop wheels.

Yes, most of the headlights are missing there, I tried to build the front using connectors but the result was not satisfying...

I love any series build, so if this is the first of many, I'm excited to see what is next. I like the features you have built for this tractor like the PTO and front and rear attachment points. Are you going to add any attachments/trailer for this series, or are you going to do more tractors next?

Yes, this is the first of a planning series and the next will be CLAAS Axion Terra Trac, which only needs modifying the rear end of the wheeled Axion as in reality .  Below is what the prototype looks like now. The next of this one will probably be a Case IH Optum, which has similar shape and dimension. I also plan to add some attachments for these tractors, but it will be a longer term plan.

I like small models, I think you did a good job, very recognizable. And very curious to see the whole series!

problem with very small models is that some parts like bullbar or scales are to thick with technic parts 

Building small scale is changing and I can testify on that because switch from 1:15 scale to 1:18 is much harder (for me) than i expected, so my hat up for @falconluan

The 40 teeth gear also exist in red :-P

Maybe you change the 24 teeth front gear to a bigger (diameter of 4 studs) idler?

er, based on RB, the red 40 teeth gear discontinued long time ago....

I tried to use a bigger idler at the front but failed to find a suitable part. The track is the 3 stud narrow one, so only the 40/24/16/8 can fit....

Why didn't you use a 6x6 dish to cover the rear black rims?

The diameter of rim is a little bit larger than the actual scale. So I used a smaller cover to make the tire visually thicker than it is. 

Yes I understand what you mean. Maybe a 4x4 dish inside the black rim?

Yes, 4x4 dish will be better here, it is thinner which makes extra weight addon possible. However, it is an aged part now...
