Edit: one of the amazing things about this rig is it's cost of $12K to build to the farmer. Genius. How many times would it have paid itself off?!
I used to drive one of these back in the early 80's, a cocky in Kulin WA owned it and i think a mob in kellerberrin built it, all you did was supply a couple of tractors and some $$ and you got a cheap 4WD tractor...

The one in the vid you posted is the deluxe version, with a cab! the one i drove wasn't, no cab at 2 or 3am mid winter South West WA was fun......Not!
