Interesting tractor..

check this out, thought it was a bit strange spotted it around the corner from work..

That big pentagon shape thing is it's front wheel/tracks?

Weird.

Its a Micra crusher.

no its the rear..it kinda just busts along smashing the ground as it plods along...

I wonder how they give it a wheel alignment.

umm i think thats that new machine they use to lay roads for cars that have flat tyres :-P

Ummm it actually drives from right to left as pictured. Think about what the driver would have to look past if it went the other way. Also look at the angle on the exhaust (6in ?? :P).

As for the use, I guess it's used for the intial compaction of some sort of clay fill. I imagine it would be followed up by a "porcupine" roller. The one that looks the same but with the 100mm diameter spikes on the roller.

Any budding engineers/construction workers who can shed light on this?

haha it might have been going from right to left actually...now im confused..

i swear i saw it going left -> right...

I guess that's possible :) After all they do have reverrse gear!!! lol we're silly

hahahaha i want to see this in real life.
