timslegos Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 I like the snow chains a lot! Where did you get them? And do they work well? Would you be able to make a video of the trucks functions? tim Quote

Would you be able to make a video of the trucks functions? tim The snow chains are handmade by myself. There ist a need for 6 meters of a chain and some brass wire for the connectors. For the cosmetics you need some shrinkable tubing. The snow chains are working pretty sweet, but the U400 still havn`t enough power (one XL-Motor) for a good snow clearing service.

Have you ever seen a snowplow whit big valves on the top? brathendel Edited February 12, 2012 by brathendel Quote
Tim S. Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Hi, today I spend some time on building. The trailer is not finished yet. Here are some pics. Tim Quote
Robert M Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 (edited) Would it not be possible, to use the Unimogs Pneumatic power to lift the trailer bed? From the pump, have it going to the switch that's standard, then between the nozzle and the switch, add another switch to take the air either to the the first nozzle, which the crane then uses and divides to 3, and the other option to the trailer to lift it up. It might mean a bit of work, and could take a bit of time. But I think that would superbly improve it and make it a lot easier to use, and more enjoyable. The trailer looks good there.

brathendel Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 hey Tim, it is an good idea to add two zylinders to get a longer stroke.. Quote

It uses a dolly, and a normal trailer found on artics. Edited February 12, 2012 by Robert M Quote
timslegos Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Nice trailer tim. Although i think grey or orange panels would look better than the green. tim Quote
Robert M Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 They could possibly look better. But the green makes it evident that it is for Agricultural use. Grey or orange would suggest to me that it's for highways maintainence, or the equivalent. However, with the front digger on the front, it looks like the Unimog is a replacement tractor with a much wider range of use and possibilities. Quote

Quote
Robert M Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Thats it, that's the colour I was thinking of, or was it John Deere? Yeah, a green Unimog would look good. Anybody got the panels for it? I'm asking a lot for people today, I'll stop, honest. Quote
dr_spock Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 It appears that TheScooterGuy on BrickShelf converted my cut off saw attachment to a LXF file. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=496684 Looks much better. Looks like you are in need of a Bricklink order . tim Thanks Tim. I think I would have trouble getting that past my wife now. Maybe after income tax season. I would love to get some pneumatic cylinders and tubing. It is hard trying to use regular sized LAs in some situations. I guess I'm stuck with what I have at the moment. :-( Nice job on the trailer. It looks like a John Deere with the green and yellow color scheme. Quote
Robert M Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 I now can't help but think that the front bucket attachment would look a lot better if it was Black or Orange. It really does go well though, have you messed around with the Pneumatics yet? Quote

Tim S. Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Any building instructions for the green trailer above? When the trailer is finished I could make a ldd-file. Tim Quote
Robert M Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 How many green panels does that Trailer use? And building instructions would be nice, it's a good looking trailer. Quote
