January 31, 201411 yr In most tractors/4 wheel excavators, the front axle can pivot, so the vehicle can manage the road unevenness. Suspension is mostly done with tires.
January 31, 201411 yr Most tractors these days have a pendular front axle and the pivot point is suspended. So when you drive on road it drives soft. Pendular axle alone doesnt count as suspension on road.it would stil bounce al over the road.
January 31, 201411 yr in this (spectacular) video, you can see clearly how works "sospensions" in the rear axle.
January 31, 201411 yr If so , then he has got to have a pendular axle in the rear. Does anybody know the lego version has a pendular one?
January 31, 201411 yr in this (spectacular) video, you can see clearly how works "sospensions" in the rear axle. By the way - cool idea for a bucket replacement :) I decided not to complain about what will come -but to appreciate what I have now - I am in th white panel heaven :D Edited January 31, 201411 yr by peter_m
January 31, 201411 yr Man what an idiotic driver. He could have gotten someone killed driving with such a heavy load. I have never seen just how much suspension travel a loader has and that one clearly has more than i thought it did. Edited January 31, 201411 yr by EyesOnly
January 31, 201411 yr It's a swivel rear axle which I'm sure the Lego version will have. It's is not suspension as such ie springs,shocks etc. I like that log attachment. :) would not be easily make that with las though. That's where pneumatics would have come in better. It's very hard make any attachments like this as ur la,s are shaft driven.
January 31, 201411 yr I like that log attachment. :) would not be easily make that with las though. That's where pneumatics would have come in better. It's very hard make any attachments like this as ur la,s are shaft driven. Buy a micro motor and fit the motor directly to the attachment.
January 31, 201411 yr I'm not enamored with the loader, let alone the pickup. I'm eager to see the bulldozer, but I think that's the only set I even have an interest in. Wonder if it's PF-capable?
January 31, 201411 yr Peter M, Where did you get those panels? H They are from 42025 :). There also 2 small blue panels (http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=11947), but they were still in bag when I was taking this pic :)
January 31, 201411 yr I do agree that the driver in the video should have taken 2 rounds when he got that weight problem - literally Edited January 31, 201411 yr by Error404
February 1, 201411 yr Its practically impossible to unload half of the logs. He can not push he's forks tru the logs.a better way is a crane to unload the logs. If i was the driver of the truck i would probably get furious when they abuse my trailer like that.
February 1, 201411 yr new video of the Volvo 42030. And you can also see the new bulldozer at second 19 in the video :-)
February 1, 201411 yr a very sweet dozer, and now we are see that the loader has a pendular axle at the rear
February 1, 201411 yr Yes, that bulldozer looks very promising.. 42030 and 42028 are definitely on my lego shopping list for 2014.. Not a big fan of the 42029 Pickup though.. it looks too ugly imho, but it's a good part pack.. Here is a messy screenshot from the Video below.. Edited February 1, 201411 yr by _techniclego55_
February 1, 201411 yr High track dozer, looks around D9 or D10 sized. Wonder if it's Cat licensed? (I doubt it, two heavy equipment brands in one year would be a conflict) Looks like a ripper on the back? Wonder if it will have blade tilt as well as lift (LA or mini-LA on each side of the blade frame)? Can't see any evidence of that in the picture, just wondering if they squeezed in more than 2 functions (blade and ripper)... Edited February 1, 201411 yr by andythenorth
February 1, 201411 yr More yellow panels. I'll hold further comments on the dozer until better pictures are here.
February 1, 201411 yr Nice dozer. Motorized it will be a small brother of 8275. They say that 42030 can hold (or eve lift) 1 kg cargo. Intersting fact:) Edited February 1, 201411 yr by rm8
February 1, 201411 yr Did you notice loader's steering didn't return to center when controller wasn't in hands. I wonder if this is a new feature or they just turned power off, while loader was turned left.
