Imanol BB Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 (edited) grum64, it is possible, maybe 25 trailers is just a little bit more than i could build, but there must be people with enough pieces (not my case); but the only problem would be if you need to go backwards .

Pat-Ard Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Sorry, I don't think it's possible... The Unimog has already trouble towing my low bed trailer... The weigh of all of these trailers ist way too much... Quote
Imanol BB Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 (edited) oh, i didnt thought that, maybe with a exaggerated amount of motors, or a very large gearing down or something like ZBLJs 8x8x8 truck, but it doesnt worth it . Edited September 4, 2015 by ImanolBB Quote

Good old Lego builder Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 I don't know if it has been asked before, but what are the estimated costs for the snowplow when ordering all the parts via bricklink? Quote
Pat-Ard Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 My guess is something around 60 - 80 Euro... Quote
nerdsforprez Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 Sorry, I don't think it's possible... The Unimog has already trouble towing my low bed trailer... The weigh of all of these trailers ist way too much... It can be done...... it just matters how much modifying one does to it. I replaced motors all together..... installed a pneumatics engine. Very powerful.....not 25 trailers but the weight and drag shown here is ALOT, and i didn't even tap the full potential, not even close. I don't doubt that this version could pull 15 or so. Quote
Hackcell Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 What about a troll tuning version of Unimog ? Oh hell, no! Quote
Hackcell Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 (edited) Here my first try of a u4000 cabine. Do you have any suggestions for improvement? Hi, I'd love to see the LDD for the tandem axles! Thanks in advance :-) Edited November 8, 2015 by Blakbird : Please don't quote an entire post just to make a comment. Quote
radar92 Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 I adapted the clam-shell from the Arocs. The PTO drives the expansion of the outriggers. I'm still working on the arm to give it better reach in the bed. I adjusted the outriggers to make up for the height of the Unimog. Quote
Hackcell Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 (edited) Hi everybody, today the first show able beta of the combined mower is ready. I'm still lacking some parts, but only some. The ideas of the mowers are NOT mine! I just combined those ideas. Here you go: Have fun.. so far Pat Awesome!!! Do you have the ldd for this? Thanks!

Pat-Ard Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 (edited) Hi, since the mower is a combination of other users ideas it's not easy to share the file. Edited November 16, 2015 by Pat-Ard Quote
JJ2 Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Just realized this but I almost have enough parts to build the Unimog with my own collection, thanks to rebrickable Missing the pneumatic parts, panels (mostly color differences) but Unimog here I come! Yay Quote
Imanol BB Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 Hi again, for a long time i have been working in LDD to design a complete RC unimog, i have put the portal hubs with the planetary rims on it, and almost all the mods i have done for it, it is not completed, but it will very soon, there might be some mistakes on it, i would like if someone has a chance to make it and test it, because i dont have all the parts and the motors, but i will get thems, here is a picture: and the LXF: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/imanolB/unimog/unimog_complete_assembly.lxf Thanks, and Merry Christmas for all.

Paul B Technic Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 (edited) Unimog Attachment - Front Mounted Dozer Blade I have now finished my next attachment for the Unimog U400. This is a front mounted dozer blade controlled by the front PTO. My research for this started by looking online at the various attachments people have designed and built for this model on the Eurobricks forum: (http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=57543&st=1825). I also undertook some research online of the various attachments that are used on real life Unimogs. From this research I came up with a possible idea and I did some rough hand drawings to see what would work. A couple of days later I had some spare time, so I got out my parts collection and started to build based on the drawings I had done. Unimog Attachment - Pull Along Mower - MK3 I recently redesigned and rebuilt a dozer blade for my Unimog U400, since doing this I have been thinking about having another try at a mower attachment, this would fit in well with the "civil services" theme of some of my other Unimog attachments. While researching this I had the goal of using a LA to raise and lower this, I also wanted it to be much more "professional" looking as far as the design and colours went. The first issue I faced was how to make two functions work off the single PTO on the rear of the Unimog. I started thinking about using a simple two way switch to split the PTO at the rear of the Unimog; I played around with this in LDD but decided it would look stupid. My next idea was to turn the blades using the rear PTO and have a handle at the top to raise and lower the mower using a LA. After thinking about this some more and playing around with it I decided I was not happy with this idea either. In the end I took an idea off set 9393 which uses a drive off the rear wheels to turn the blades, in my case the wheels are attached to the mower deck itself. Late last week I sat down and started the building process, this went well and over a few nights / Saturday afternoon I got the mower deck built with the wheels turning the blades. I also built the mounting system to the rear of the Unimog using the "standard" mounting points to allow this to be easily removed if required, this uses the rear PTO to raise and lower the mower deck. This also has a pivot point at the front of the mower deck which allows this to turn as the Unimog goes around corners. While I was testing this I found that the mower deck was being lifted high above the Unimog and was swinging around as it was driven. At this point I left it for the day. Last night while in bed I woke up with an idea, instead of lifting the mower deck the full height I could add a hinge which would allow this to bend as it was lifted, it would still have good ground clearance but would not end up so high off the ground. This morning I made some changes based on my idea and I was very pleased to be able to get this to work how I had hoped. Now as it lifts it bends which works much better. Features are: - Lift and carry of mower deck (rear PTO / large LA) - swivel point for steering - Working mower blades (driven via rear wheels) Images too big, link added by Jim Edited March 4, 2016 by Jim Removed large images Quote
Paul B Technic Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 (edited) Unimog Attachment - Rubbish Loader MK2 I have now finished my latest attachment for the Unimog U400. This is a rear mounted rubbish loader which is controlled via the rear PTO. A few years ago I built "MK1" of this but was not 100% happy with it, now with some more building experience and a wider range of parts I have spent some time over the past few days building and testing this. The video and photos below show this in action. Images too big, link added by Jim Edited March 6, 2016 by Paul B Removed large images and embedded video Quote

Paul B Technic Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 (edited) Unimog Attachment - Loading Conveyor I would like to present my latest Unimog attachment, this is a loading conveyor. While I have not been able to find any "real" Unimogs with this attachment I thought it was a good idea. As it moves continuously it would also make a good display at a Brixhibition in the future. VIDEO OF THIS IN USE: Edited March 10, 2016 by Paul B Quote
dr_spock Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 Neat. I think I've seen Unimog on farm with conveyor. The conveyor is on the side of the truck picking up vegetables or hay as it drives forward. Quote
Technic Jim Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 As it moves continuously it would also make a good display at a Brixhibition in the future You could have it as part of some amazing GBC where the balls come up the conveyor in the back and then fall out the side. It would be unique and quite cool! Quote

Paul B Technic Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 Unimog Attachment - Field Plough I have recently completed my latest Unimog attachment, this is a field plough. I recently saw one of these in use behind a tractor and thought it would make a good attachment to go behind my Unimog. Over a few hours the last two nights I have built this. The building process was fairly easy and enjoyable except for trying to get the "lift and tilt" mechanism to work how I wanted, this was to both tilt the plough up and lift it. I am happy with the end result as can be seen in the photos and video below. Quote
dr_spock Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 You could have it as part of some amazing GBC where the balls come up the conveyor in the back and then fall out the side. It would be unique and quite cool! I tried it before at an event and ran into problems with the PTO M-motor overheating and shutting down. It was 15 minutes on and 5 minutes to cool down. The Unimog PTO drive train should be redesign to have less friction if you plan to run it all day. I also had problems with the CV joint popping out. Definitely needs a more direct straight drive line. Quote
