Logging Spider


This prototype spider-walking logging tractor (apparently designed by John Deere / Plustech Oy) may be a bit slow but would seem to provide a couple advantages over conventional means: The ability to maneuver through the confines of a forest for selective logging, and the ability to navigate previously impassible terrain while providing a stable platform for heavy machinery.

Clearly the era of Labors is nearly upon us.
