Case IH Quadtrac

Functionality

• 4 wheel (tracks) drive
• Articulated steering
• Three point hitch
• PTO
• Pendular tracks
• Pendular rear body (rotating hitch)
• Steering wheel turns when steering
• Lights

I think this might be my best looking model so far. As usual I am also proud of how much functionality I managed to place within a chassis that is really just 5 studs wide. It contains no less than:

• 5 turntables
• 4 motors
• 2 IR receivers
• 1 batterypack
• 2 pair of lights

Above is a close up on the steering mechanism. It was later changed a bit and the motor placed further down to make room for the batterypack.

Objective: Reinforce chassis and mechanics of my  previous tractor without interfering with scale or design.

It could unfortunately not be done without removing the front wheel drive and thus make it 2WD. However it did become a lot stronger and it slips easily on most surfaces.

Still, making a conventional tractor with pendular suspension, three point hitch and and PTO is truly hard without interfering with the design, it is simply very little “volume” available to hide everything. Also, the model can only be as big as the biggest wheels available will allow. Below you can see the final chassis housing 2 XL motor, 1 M-motor, 1 servomotor, 2 IR Receiver, a battery pack and 1.4m of wire.

Raised on a farm, I guess I had to build a Lego Tractor MOC. To start with I looked around, primarly on Youtube to get inspiration. Actually there weren’t many good Tractor MOC:s out there, especially conventional tractors (those with bigger rear wheels).

My objectives for the MOC was:
