Skid Loader

Description
Simple Skid loader, no scripts, no mods. Modeled after various CAT and CASE skid loaders. Controls are posted up in the cab but:

1 Raises the arms.
2 Lowers the arms
3 Tilts the bucket forwards.
4 Tilts the bucket backwards.

Each press of the the button allows the motion of .1 meter, allowing for precision control.

Please note, the timers block method allows you to exceed what I would recommend for maximum and minimum extensions and may result in clang.

I hope you enjoy this build as much as I did building it, and remember to hit that thumbs up =D!

This is by far my favorite machine! I did change the bucket so it picks up rocks and dumps them, I totally love how the arms work! And without changing this it totally works perfectly!
New Nexia thanks you!

@Liberty Bull I've tried that in previous builds, lead to too many controls on the toolbar, using the timers is me trying to simplify them.

@armored_saint Just barely. I have seen a few transformers made, most can turn from a vehicle or jet into a robot that cannot walk. I think turning a loader or crane into one is a bit of a stretch for SE at the moment, but it's definitely possible with builds with less moving parts XD

Awesome job! I do not know if you are old enough to remember the Transformers - The Destructicons , but I think it would be pure awesomeness if someone attempted to make them in Space Engineers xD

@Geeky Thank you! Go forth and create, bring it utility!

@Onyx_Rex I would be happy to =D

@Sandst4rm If it makes you feel better my crane didn't make it to the front either. My first thought, cranes are just over done.
