Six-legged logging vehicle looks like its from outer space
Just take a look at this thing moving! It's unsettling, and not just because it was designed to aid in the clearcutting of forests! Sure, it might move better through the old growth with those legs, but I'm much more comfortable with wheels, thank you very much.

Hahaha, I agree it´s really a step forward, but it´s still far more inferior to normal caterpillar designs. (cause they go faster than 0.5 mile/hour)

I read a short story in a book copyright 1987 that had a walking lumber machine. "Firefight 2000" by Dean Ing, "Malf". His also had wheels for road travel.
