No, but I like it also.
Benefits of a walk behind mini skid, with the ease of use of a standard ctl......neato!

Looks like a small skid could have fit in there...kinda odd looking.

Kind of reminds me of a mix between a trackloader and walkbehind more so than a CTL and a walkbehind..

Never see it here in the states without a ROPS on it. seems kinda slow and jerky IMO - could be the operator though.

I agree, looks awful tippy for the little weight it was moving. It seems too much of the weight is behind the track frame so it tips back easy. I think it could benifit from a longer undercarraige, or at least moving the track frame back some.

It definitely looks like mini track loader over a ctl. It seems like a good idea, just needs some refinements.

That is an AVANT made in Finland i think!

The operator sits so high on the machine it looks top heavy if not used on a flat surface like it was in. I still prefer a walk behind machine for tight work sites.
