Volvo BM LM 840 [Modded]

NOT COMPATIBLE WITH SMART PHYSICS! SET THE PHYSICS QUALITY TO "Advanced"!
This blueprint has a high chance to go flying when you place it. Be ready to put it back on the lift to try and place it again. It will eventually work properly.


And here is my attempt at making a Volvo BM LM 840 "back loader".
To those of you who don't know, this kind of machine was Volvo's earliest offerings in the wheel loader class.
Back loaders came about because some Swedish farmers back in the 1950's figured that loading heavy stuff with a front loader on a tractor wasn't great, since it'd take weight off of the rear drive axle.
So the solution was to create a loader arm that could be mounted on the rear of a tractor, and turning the seat and controls of the tractor around.
Then a few years, and a production deal with Bolinder Munktell later, the BM H10/35 hit the market, followed by a lot more, then ending off with the LM 621, LM 641 and LM 841 in 1978, at which point articulated wheel loaders had completely taken over.

Why did I make one? I think they're really cool.

This Blueprint requires certain mods to function, which are listed on the right side of the page ->

I made use of Robb's Anti Collision System, which you can find here:

I also made use of Zachsl's Piston Controller, which you can find here:

Controls:
WASD = Steer Left / Right, and drive Forwards / Backwards
1 & 2 = Raise and Lower the boom, respectively.
3 & 4 = Curl and Dump the bucket, respectively.
5 = Toggle Lights.
