The walking tractor was developed by a Finnish company called Plustech, plustech is a subsidiary of another finnish company called Timberjack. The walking tree harvester had been in development for a long time before John Deere came along and bought Timberjack. John Deere killed the project.
Despite the fact that the tech seems adaptable for a lot of other purposes. I wonder if in some nevada secret works there's one of these being put through its places in desert sand paint?
when i saw a video of those walking tracktors 5 years ago i thaught they would be standard by 2010. sadly they're not :(

ReplyDeleteSoubriquet, Boooo to John Deere, the spoilsports. I hope there's still a few of them running through the wild, free.
Yes, programmed as an autonomous unit, set to graze at gas stations that sell diesel.
