(...) I did a large technic road grader in 2006, and although the steering works, it does not work exactly like the real thing. I tried to modify it to make the blade rotate further, but it did not work and the design in the pictures is finished. (...) (17 years ago, 6-Dec-07, to lugnet.technic)

I've been looking at how to do a properly done, realistic road grader for some time now, from Technic LEGO, and I've become stuck trying to properly emulate a realistic design for the front steering. As anyone who's seen a road grader knows, they (...) (17 years ago, 1-Dec-07, to lugnet.technic)

Very nice work, Philo! I like the clever compact design, and that you have made something truly playable. TLC should do something like this!
