This may be a little off topic, but here goes. Many (about 20) years ago, I saw a guy using a small tractor, about the size of one of a riding mower. It had a power takeoff for a small backhoe attachment (and other goodies). It had all wheel drive, but instead of the usual front wheel steering, it had fixed front and rear axles and was articulated in the middle with a hydraulic steering system. The guy using it claimed that this thing could get into almost any terrain. I seem to recall that it as a Kubota, but I may be wrong. Anyone have any ideas about what it is (was)? I didn't see anything like it on the Kubota web page. |

tires looked like wide ATV tires, about 18 inches in diameter. The only
articulated machine on the Kubota web site is a loader. The machine I
saw was definitely smaller than one of those.
