These are called the biggest vehicles ever made and some live up to their name
My le Tourneau liked building thing that no one else could or would. many of his artic vehicles were derived to enable concurring the wilderness to bring equipment and supplies to work camps some of which were along the dew line. the tree stomping grinding killing machines were designed to force temporary road ways through jungles by using the fallen vegetation as a base to drive on with out the need to do a lot of excavation or dirt work these roads would disappear in time anyway even if the jungle had been cleared and expensive and extensive road work was done.
there was a report once that along about the time of hiss passing he was designing a machine to excavate a trench for a canal that would have cut threw a region in far south America so there would be a large navigable water way all the way from Santa Cruz Bolivia south to the ports around Buenos Aires, passing through Paraguay
it was supposed to be a single machine capable of grinding its way up the rivers leaving a canal behind while forming a road surface on both sides
now that would have been a truly massive machine
Never try to tell me it can't be done
When I have to paint I use KBS products
