Why would you buy a tractor that does this?

It might be handy in very rough terrain. Might get in the way of 3 point implements.

But pretty interesting when watched.

Useful in countries with bomb craters...

Maybe a mobility technology demonstrator, not a practical farm tractor. Easier to make than starting with a truck, for example.

I’m sure there was some reason they built that but no I wouldn’t buy it. I could’ve built that ledge into a ramp faster than they climbed it.

 

[scaredychicken]

i'd buy it to show it off / promote at the local agri-fairs ... it gets attention

interesting for sure ... though a FEL might have been of great assistance also

limited, but very specific applications for this, imo

A solution to problems made from stagnent minds.

This is Turkish made tractor called a Makrobat. Here is advertising from the company's web site

Our Company, Makrobat Ltd. is founded in 2009 in Istanbul, Turkey as a Bat Guano manufacturer and trade organization. We have more then 30 caves located in different regions in Turkey.
Bat Guano supplying is highly sensitive an operation. All caves must be used very carefully for keeping the quality of the product. We have special machines for excavating. All of our workers has been equipped with protective clothes, protectors and special hand-tools.

So now we all know where to buy equipment when we want to harvest bat poop from caves.

Who knew the internet and google could be so useful for wasting time.

He could have just backed up and driven around that hole.

I'm not about to venture into a cave full of bat poop. Not even with some special type of tractor. There are plenty of other things to do, just as exciting, with a tractor.

Perhaps we should be blaming the Makrobat for the Chinese mining bat poop and releasing the coronavirus. How's that for stirring the pot?

It might be handy in very rough terrain.

Yah, but to what end? Rough terrain needs to be tamed before one does the sorts of things with it that humans do the most; such as housing development and agriculture. If I want a rock crawler for sport there are way better options

One thing sticks out to me here:
Bat crap is known for a plethora of horrifying diseases with histoplasmosis being the most common but also the more begin. there is also (SARS), Henipavirus, Nipah, TB, and Hendra to name just a few.

So imagine the poor sob who is in the cave with a bucket and a shovel, with little more to protect him beyond a thin hazmat suit and his boss' assurances. I'm pretty sure even Mike Rowe would have passed.

Might be okay for pulling small logs etc....I have no interest of buy

 

[Egon]

Looks like it could climb terraced fields.

 

[ismilelots]

For those time when you end up in the ditch or pond because you're trying to mow too close?

 

[CloverKnollFarms]

Looks like he could have driven around it in about 30 seconds

Interesting engineering and design but very limited practicality. Fun to watch, I'd NEVER buy one!

Bat guano is #1 for gunpowder. Turkey is a major player. This is a concern.
