Ljungby L18 Wheel Loader [No Mods]

After building that Volvo LC450H I put up on the workshop earlier, I decided to take some of the lessons I learned building that, plus a couple new ideas I had and try and build a wheel loader based on the swedish manufacturer Ljungby (pronounced Yungbee).

One of Ljungby's main selling points is the substantial operator comfort stemming from the cab riding on its own air suspension, so the operator doesn't get jostled around as much as with other loaders. Implementing this into a Scrap Mechanic blueprint was easy, but it still looks and functions beautifully.
I also found a way to have the even numbered driver's seat centered on an odd numbered chassis, which also looks and works great.

Sadly, though, this blueprint is very laggy. I think I went way overboard with the complexity of the boom and bucket linkage systems. I have some ideas on how to simplify it, but I think I'm going to make a modded version of this blueprint to alleviate that, and also spruce up the general looks of it.
For now, though, have a great looking and functioning piece of equipment that'll slow your computer to a crawl. :D

This blueprint uses only vanilla parts and does not require any mods to function.

Controls:
1 & 2 = Toggle Raising / Lowering the boom. (1 raises the boom less than 2 does)
3 & 4 = Toggle Dumping the bucket
5 = Toggle the lights
There's a button on the counterweight that opens the engine bay. Use this if you want to change the speed of the machine. The electric engine is what powers the wheels. The gas engine is just there for sound.
