MOC - LEGO Technic 42164 C Model Tractor with Three Attachments

Recently I have designed and built a custom C model tractor based on LEGO Technic set 42164. It has three functional attachments: a plough, slasher, and post hole drill.

Step 1: Conceptualization and Planning

The first step in any LEGO project is to conceptualize the design and plan out the structure. For our tractor, we envisioned a sturdy yet versatile vehicle capable of handling various agricultural tasks. 

Step 2: Building the Tractor

With a clear vision in mind, we began assembling the base of the tractor using the components from set 42164. We focused on ensuring stability and functionality, incorporating hand of god steering, via the grey exhaust on the top of the engine area.

Step 3: Developing Attachments

Once the tractor was complete, we shifted our attention to designing the attachments. Each attachment required careful consideration of its purpose, size, and compatibility with the tractor. We experimented with different configurations and mechanisms to create functional implements that could be easily swapped and operated by the tractor.

1. Plough: The plough attachment was designed to efficiently till the soil for planting.

2. Slasher: For clearing overgrown vegetation, we created a slasher attachment.

3. Post Hole Drill: Lastly, we developed a post hole drill attachment for digging holes for fence posts or other structures. This attachment featured a rotating drill bit.

Conclusion:

Designing and building a custom LEGO Technic C model tractor with three attachments was a rewarding and enjoyable experience. From conceptualization to final assembly, each step of the process required creativity, problem-solving, and attention to detail. By combining the versatility of LEGO Technic components with innovative design techniques, we were able to create a functional and realistic agricultural vehicle capable of tackling various tasks with ease. Whether you're a LEGO enthusiast or an aspiring engineer, this project serves as a testament to the endless possibilities of LEGO Technic sets.
