Now THERE'S a working man's vehicle for ya!

But can you imagine going down a hill toward a job site with 60 sacks of concrete in the back in that thing?

I think they're neat, but I'm trying to imagine what I'd do with it if I had it ..... ?

I need one for the Paonia estate!  It might even push a snowplow.

I'm holding out for the version carrying an elevating stairway, to load/unload aircraft. Saw a picture once. I'm looking forward to another picture here. :)  R3~
