Tractor with Dumpster + many motorized functions

Rated 3 out of 5 Change your rating

Zoom in

I wanted to put a lot of functions in this tractor and only use 2 motors. This all without changing the overal look.

About this creation

This Tractor with Dumpster build is created to incorperate as many motorized functions as possible without changing the looks and only use 2 motors and not more as seen in many creations of the same type of tractor. I just used this model to experiment my ideas on and not create a special tractor MOC. Feel free to comment.....and change ideas...

steering via m-motor in front, the gears used here make sure the steering is smooth and not to quick or to slow.

In the center a switch (center red) is placed to make a choice between driving or the other 3 functions. xL motor is used and it is driving 4 functions.

View from below

Close view from the left to see all the gears and switches.

In the back the third red switch can activate the dumpster lift.

View on how the lifting of the dumpster is controlled.

Inside view where you can see the pneumatic compressor which is activated if the tractor is not driving. So the xL motor is used to drive the compressor.

Left side view, the second red switch activates the frontloader. With the remote control the front loader can go up or down.

This Frontloader is based on a MOC I found recently and wanted to build it on this module and improve how it is controlled

This is a very well built moc, the use of only two motors is inspiring, but also limiting. I suggest a couple things to change or add, an air tank, for the pneumatic functions. Also, make the PTO drive so that you can select between PTO, and PTO+ drive. You could make this using only 3 clutch gears. (4/5)
