I manage a trail system and use a Rokon for skidding and moving heavy stuff in areas that are too narrow for a quad. They're great mules. The only problem I have with the design are the stock brakes. They are totally and utterly primitive and are dangerous on steep downhills even without a load. It shouldn't be hard though to retrofit hydraulic brakes.
They are slow. These machines are for moving you and whatever you want to carry or drag through rough terrain at roughly 2 to 3 times walking speed. I think top speed on the new ones are about 35mph on smooth ground. And they are just plain cool if you like mechanical things!
now i can see how the 2WD worked, thanks for posting this.
