This crazy looking bit of machinery is used by the Forestry Commission for tree planting on steep slopes and harvesting trees. Orginally designed for ski slopes, both its front and back legs can be placed in a variety of positions to enable it to climb slopes or descend them. They also stabilise the machine when the boom is in use. The machine costs in excess of £150,000 and is powered by a Perkins 157HP engine.
