Wouldn't it have been easier to just drive the tank? LOL Or is this a retriever?Steve, Could be a retriever with that axle configuration and the winch, but even normal transport tractors have winches.Its always cheaper and easier to truck the tanks where they need to go.Most folks think of tanks like dozers, but they are actually more like race cars, they start wearing out as soon as you drop them in gear.You dont see much long range travel with tanks (like in the movies ), you load them up and truck them in as close as possible, like setting up game pieces on a board.Tanks burn ALOT of fuel and the tracks hate hard surfaces for long periods of time.John
