[MOC] Combine Harvester- 42055 C model [INSTRUCTIONS]

[BrickbyBrickTechnic]

My latest MOC, the combine harvester!

This one took quite some time to build. I had to build and rebuild the gearbox, and the whole thing is crammed with mechanism. In the end, it was all worth it I think. The model has many functions:

• Driving- each track controlled independently so the model can steer or go forward
• Adjusting arm (manual)
• Spinning blades
• raising/lowering blades
• Raising/lowering PTO shaft
• attaching/decoupling attachment (manual)
• Opening top hatch

Also, there is a trailer which the harvester can tow, which is fitted for the attachment. The whole model is filled with details as well!!

Another thing I want to tell you about this time is the video. I tried a different editing scheme, so the video is very different from all my other ones. If you like it/don't like it, please tell me! I would appreciate any feedback.

And now, some pictures!

That's all for now. See you soon and I can't wait to read your comments.

Way to go man! With limited parts, it awesome. You certainly got the most out of the 42055. I love the functions! Proper combine.

Very new approach on a harvester, never seen one with tracks. I dont like the use of the half pins on the front attachment. The pins will bend very easily.

This build actually looks like a rice harvester:

Great build BbBT!

The combine harvester could break a wall when necessary!

The Redlands model I included in my earlier post is from India as well!

Thank you so much! This set was actually fairly unlimited in terms of parts. I didn't experience any large problems with part availability.

Thanks! These types of harvesters do exist (I actually saw a pic of one and that's what inspired me to build this). The pins do their job, so I'm not too concerned about bending I guess.

Thanks! There is actually a company that makes these in India called Balkar. My source material for this was pictures of their harvesters!
