Might be useful in a hazardous area. Can't see much use otherwise.

I'm thinking its electric drive, its arms are too long so support brute strength loads, and I've seen that movie before.... Transformers.

Between the lift links, same as any tractor...

Seems there may be a couple hydraulic ports and an AG trailer connector there too...

I don’t see that thing working very long, looks like a maintenance nightmare

Looks like a special purpose machine, likely to leave a minimum footprint in the woods...?

I like looking at concept stuff. My dad used to get a lot of architectural magazines and catalogs. Man, there was some futuristic stuff in there. Always fun to see what the future may hold.

Indeed. I like trying to wrap my head around designers ideas. Granted I don't see this thing being used for ploughing unbroken earth or dozing stumps out of the ground, but I can see many uses for delicate crops that are generally processed by hand. I don't know what the designers are thinking rendering it in the middle of a logging operation, I think it would get broken easily on such a site unless it is much beefier than it appears...

Whats Missing

Hard points for attachments

Hydraulics.
Hydraulic won't be replaced by electronics in HD applications of high force anytime soon.
Robust design. Looks ok for crops, but Logging earth works, come on!??

Wheres the cab for the operator? R2D2 having all the fun?
