how hard would it be to make a tractor with a moveable front bucket and backhoe?
i know its a flying sim but ive saw some cars and it just hit me too want a tractor suddenly.

so if anyone could make/ has made one it would be greatly appreciated

Would you really be happy with it knowing that you can't dig in a flight sim?? :confused: :confused:

The number of moving parts is limited only by the number of knobs on the controller...

A tractor with backhoe needs 2 channels for driving, 2 for the bucket, 4 for the excavator, and 1 for the stabilizers. That's 9 channels. If you want to make the tractor drive in reverse (pretty much a necessity), that's 10 channels.

Fortunately, Since you can't drive a backhoe with the stabilizers down, you could set up a 2-mode control system; use the gear switch to change modes. Likewise, the 3-pos switch can act like a gear shift. The dual range switch can apply the brakes.

Of course, it's not like the tractor will actually be able to do any work, but it's a fun idea. :)

Somewhere on the old swap pages someone put up an combat robot, with a backhoe type arrangement on it.
