The SL175 is inspired by a compact skid-steer loader from a well known plant machinery manufacturer.

At 7548 triangles with a Land Impact of 29, it's pretty low-poly and optimized. The physics shape is simple but accurate, and it won't collapse in to a pile of triangles as you walk away from it.

The unique, low impact scripts makes the SL175 easy to use and fun to drive. Configuration is made through the menu and an easy-to-use HUD provides quick access to the settings and features.

The SL175 has 10 driving speeds and uses raycasting to help determine traction. Other driving features include 'TempDrive' for mainland drivers, adjustable downforce and 3 different steering profiles.

4 camera views can be chosen from, an 'Auto-Lights' feature will turn on/off the vehicle's headlights when it gets dark, and a 'Recover' function will quickly correct the vehicle if it tips over. 3 sizes of driver animations are included, and adjustable sit / control stick positioning helps you to align your avatar to the vehicle.

The mechanics can be operated while driving and will sit two avatars in the shovel, both with adjustable positions. Passengers can be un-sat manually through the menus, or automatically when the shovel tilts too far.

Driving and passenger permissions are handled separately, so you can stop people riding in the shovel but still let them drive. Permission options for each are 'Owner', 'Group' or 'Public'.

  • 100% Mesh with handmade LODs and physics

This is an amazing creation from Samuri Zabelin. I got it on a whim to annoy my friend who's building a role play sim. Everything about the SL175 is great, and attention to detail is awesome. Firstly when you start the machine, the engine rumbles causing the vehicle to vibrate. It's touches like this that make it stand out. The way the bucket moves is completely fluid, a lot of time must have been spent scripting this smooth animation. Your friends may sit in the bucket if they wish, which caused great amusement when I tipped them down a hole in the ground.

Finally both the mesh and texture work are crafted to a high level, with a nice crisp look.

I originally wanted some nice low LI car. Then I found this... well, why not? Sounds like fun... And, it is! A lot of fun indeed :D Also, I just can't find anything wrong about it. It's perfect. Definitely one of the best things I've ever bought :)

I happened to stumble upon this and bought it, it was everything I expected and more. This skid steer is amazing. The driving is great, feels very realistic and smooth. The actual front-loader part is what got me interested. I have seen some that claim to work, and this does work. Very nice work on the product. Would recommend to anyone

I was very skeptical of buying this front loader but i am very happy i did
yes you can pick physical prim's up with this
yes it handles like a dream,(THIS IS NOT KCP SCRIPTED)
the hud works flawless and is very realistic.
i advise everyone to get one of these if you need something that is just plane fun or for an role play.
it just works in all siduations.
