Some video clips of this monster of a machine that the company I work for. It was built from the ground up and are currently testing it out with some extremely heavy loads in the mud.
Today we tested the Cossack and Tri-Drive Commander head to head.Same load, same spot, 20 minutes apart.For those that were commenting that this yard is hard, this is the same spot we tested in on the first video. It should be noted, the Cossack suspension was not functional during this test. We have some programming to do, going to work on that tomorrow.So in this video the suspension is non existent. It is sitting on the stoppers.

Had a successful day of testing yesterday. The hydraulic drive system seems to be working very nicely. This building is 75-80,000..., the machine weighs 168,000 so total gross weight around 240,000. We purposely hung the weight on the roll vs sucking it flat, just to see if we could get it to sink. We could not.We will be loading a tank with ballast next, get it up into that 130,00 range and see how it works.This area of our yard is very soft virgin ground, bed trucks not able to work in here with any amount of weight when it's dry. It's been raining for 2 days prior to this test.The rental loads you see in the background were put in this winter.
