The LM 846 is a much more common wheel loader than the LM 845. It has the same size tires all around and weighs 500kgs more.
While the 845 was better for forestry work thanks to its larger front wheels, the 846 was a better allround loader for materials handling.
Based on the LM 845 from Giants Software I bring you the LM 846 from 1972
Features:
Three store versions: Naturally aspirated, Turbo and Compactor version
Complete overhaul of wheels. Street/Snow, Mud, Dirt, Rock and Forest-options. All to scale.
New Compactor version as offered by Volvo in the 1970's for work on city dumps and landfills. Slower, heavier and wider
Authentic LM 846 decals
