A member on HEF that works for the UN "CB's" (construction brigade) has posted pics of one of those there, he says they are a joke, poorly balanced and high center of gravity.
I think it's MKTEF.

that was a concern for me as well. not sure how it would do side sloping as narrow as it is. still it is a nice concept. i think it could be made to work well.

great concept! but if she is top heavy and not balanced.........that may do in some other areas of life, but not heavy equipment.......that would replace a skid/hoe combo with one machine and give the backhoe market a real run for its money IF it was functional.
