Volvo BM LM 846 v1.0.2.3
– 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.
