Cute little project

Well done! I think someone has found an interest in small MOCs.

With what gears those tracks can be driven? Only with those big yellow, blue and red ones?

Of course, it only has 2 M motors, 2x worm gears, 2x 8th gears and 2x 21th yellow gears (functional), the rest of them hold the tracks.

Sorry, I meant: The tracks itself - can they be driven with some other gears (24T, 16T) instead of the 21T yellow gear you used in MOC?

My poor english . I never tried with another gears, I will try but I think that will not work.

I guess, judging by the space between track links, that only big yellow 21T gear could operate them, and probably medium Blue and small Red one (old type, they are not producing any more)

This is so sweet. So tiny and innovative.

[Zerobricks]

Good work, love the tracks and the compactness.

Wow, that size and smart thinking. I wonder how did you fit your motors. Any chance of a bottom picture?

Beautiful machine. I operated one few years ago and was curious to replicate the track/drive system. Though, the one I operated was made by AGCO, and used a CAT engine. Not sure CAT have their own model ... as CAT does very little agricultural machines, they're primarily into construction/mining. Beautiful work.

My dream is can operate someday a tracked machine .

stunning! nice to see more of these kinda small projects ;)

[Meatman]

Cool little model! I like this!

[Lakop]

That's excellent! It should be on sale. Small machines should be a future contest.

I don´t have the idea when it is necessary but I like to see a small machines contest, thank you for comments.

I am very surprised that in such a small tractor, you put bbox, 2 M motors nad IR receiver

[jorgeopesi]

Milan a video for you, tracks work fine with other gears too.

Their usability has greatly improved now!

What is the length of the rigid hose in the tracks?

But you have to find the perfect tension and I don´t know if it will work under more weight, I have to do more tests. I bought hundreds of the large ones 2 years ago and I cut them what I need, this way I can build for example a pisten bully with the large hoses.

[Anathaema]

ha, very nice little moc, would love to see more of these "mini" type of mocs

[aol000xw]

Sooo cute.

[jorgeopesi]

And another track type, Mahjqa style with 3 studs wide, crazy for tracks I know . Thank you again for all comments.
