You find some crazy stuff when you dig into all this. Hmm how can we just mow the forest down to make more space?

This is a Le Tourneau tree crusher being tested at Long Binh by the 1st Log Comd.

Just for scale, there's a person climbing into the cab way at the top of the first pic.

It's massive.

Yeah they were smoking something and the government kept giving them money.

@415s30 Letourneau made a TON of delightfully bizarre tree-crushing vehicles back in the day! My favorite is the tree stomper, which shuns wheels in favor of giant metal slabs that it scoots itself around on like big mechanical feet, flattening any trees in its path.

@415s30 That's some next level deforestation engineering, right there! Number one most hated thing on the Lorax's list!
