Alright,
I am happy to present my latest creation in series of articulated work vehicles.
A few months ago I rolled out a 8-wheel John Deere Forwarder. This time it is a
large Front loader (no particular model - but copied after the largest Volvo
Loader on the market).
Model highlights include,
- 4-wheel triple differential drive with V8 engine
- 6 pneumatic cylinders for lift
- Articulated pneumatic steering
- Advanced compact spring + damped suspension for each wheel pair
- Neatly placed controls in driver’s area
- Double pneumatic tanks + onboard handpump
- 4 service hatches for easy service access to engine and air tanks
It is a heavy model - and very playable and robust :-)
