Week TechVideo, 2012 #42 - Hitachi ZW 310 Wheel Loader

If it had nothing any better, it is orange, which always looks great in this type of machinery.

But this is another gorgeous model by dfs473, built a few months ago.

You may also see the Part II, at this other video.

The model features:

• 1x PF XL-motor - For driving
• 1x PF M-motor - For steering, via two mini-LAs
• 1x PF M-motor - For raising/lowering the boom
• 1x PF M-motor - For swinging the shovel

Apart the traditional functions from a Wheel Loader, there is also an interesting and quick releasing mechanism, to easily switch the front tool. In the video we can see how, with the shovel being replaced with a fork tool after 1'30''.

You can find additional photos from this model, on dfs473's Brickshelf and flickr galleries.


Awesome work and details!


Disclaimer:
Please avoid sending requests to post specific models on this TBs section.
We understand some of you would enjoy to see your creations featured here, but please understand  that because only one video gets highlighted per week, it is impossible to accommodate all the great MOCs continuously build by the Technic builders out there. They simply won't fit all and that's also not the purpose of this blog (see the header statement).
Many of your MOCs are scanned anyway and listed for later publication when they do not fit immediately. However some remain in the backlog queue just for too long and eventually loose the relevance or the publication opportunity window. As a rule of thumb, we also avoid publishing MOCs that have been featured by their authors or other fans at some other great web places dedicated to the Technic community out there. It doesn't mean that occasionally some won't get published here anyway.

Thanks for your understanding!
