Emil's tractor fleet
 
My "fleet" is currently two tractors: Dickie Fendt 926 and Bruder JCB Fastrac. Both have 4x4 chassis from MFZ Blocher in Germany. The Fendt will be in the work shop for a long time, while undergoing a modification program. The Fastrac is pretty much done. It's only missing the rear fenders and some electrical connectors.

JCB Fastrac
 
The Fastrac was bought second hand from another forum member in Norway. At delivery a Servonaut S20 ESC, a Servonaut ML4 light control and a Pistenking lightbar version 2 were installed.

I'm pretty satisfied with the overall quality from MFZ Blocher, but the drivtrain could have been more robust.

The first proper test was done yesterday. The tractor started out as four wheel drive, but ended as a one wheel drive :mad:

The Fastrac has four wheel steering, which makes it very nimble to use.

After the first test it was time for maintenance. No problem with all that space under the hood ;)

Fenders and rear lights :) Still not finished. I'll make some kind of toolbox behind the cab.

That's really cool. I'll never complain about a lack of space again, in my RC day cab truck! How in the world you managed to fit all that in there is beyond me, but you did a great job!

Re: Emil's tractor fleet
 
I finally got some time to work on the JCB again. I made a small bed on the back to cover ther servo/ AIR-U, and a detachable front weight. Next step is to get some painting done.

"Olav Multitrailer"
 
It's based on a chassis another member from the Norwegian forum has made. I'll use different wheels and dump boxes together with the Fastrac and regular trucks.

there some great tractors. If you ever want a idea for a trailer, where I live we have a few fertlizer companies use a tractor with a trailer on the back. Really fun overtaking those on small roads.

Re: Emil's tractor fleet
 
I've made a front hitch for the Fastrac. First I used a servo for lift, but it made to much noise while under load. The second version was made using the gearmotor from a 1/10 scale Topcad winch. The movement is a bit slow, but that's OK. It's no problem lifting the excavator's counterweight (0,7 kg).
I also added some weight to the rear wheels, making the total weight 4,1 kg.

Re: Emil's tractor fleet
 
I got to do some more work on the Fastrac this weekend. I had to make a new front weight, which is more 1:1 scale looking. I also finished the servo and power wires to the front of the tractor. Next step is painting :)

Tractor is looking really good and the brass work on the front looks amazing. Cant wait to see some new vids when it's all redone.

It really seems to have a bit of power.how much sand was in the trailer?I cant wait to order mine.these models are great

egronvold 04-03-2013 04:01 AM

Re: Emil's tractor fleet
 
I´m not exactly sure of the weight, but it´s quite heavy. When filled, the fenders and tires touches, making the trailer even harder to pull.

Re: Emil's tractor fleet
 
Got some time to play around today with the Fendt and the 210. Made myself a small field :)

The tractor is too light. Put some weight in it so it won't be so slipping uphills.

egronvold 06-09-2013 03:54 PM

Re: Emil's tractor fleet
 
Front wheels are filled. It was steep and the trailer was heavy :) The tires on the trailer is a bit too soft as well.
