This thing is called a Bucketwheel, and they're used quite a bit in Europe, but rarely in the U.S., mainly because they are so expensive to build, and they're so damn slow.
I should take some pictures of the 320-ton haul trucks out at Kennecott and post them up. Sure is intimidating seeing those things in your rear view mirror!! :eek2: |

| It's always funny to see a 69-ton tank riding the tail of a little two door toyota while traveling 45 down a freeway. Usualy the toyota doesn't think it's so funny though. The look on their face is usualy the best. :dropmouth: |
