Category: Wheel Loaders
Price: $50000
Power: 115-185 hp
Max. speed: 30-45 kph
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

Known errors:
When updating from previous versions existing 846 will disappear and has to be bought again from the store.
This is because all previous tire-options have been removed and replaced by real wheel loader tires.
Authors notes:
I own a Volvo LM 846 from 1974 and I was overwhelmed to find the LM 845 in the Volvo Pack from Giants Software!
(The 846 is almost identical to the 845 except for the wheels) Based on my many hours in the 846 I have tried to make my mod true to the real machine
Here in Sweden it is common to swap out the old D50 for a truck engine with turbo so I added that option to.
This is my first mod so I am still just learning XML and the Giants Editor.
I take no credit for this mod, the credit goes to Giants Software for making the 845 so true to life and Adub modding for the rust shaders!
