how to transport this machines ? :S..part by part ?

[larrywanders]

@Manjula009 It depends on how far the machine must be moved. In this instance it "walked" under its own power. There are two 'feet' underneath that move the drag line backwards. The bucket is placed on the ground, then one foot plate is raised and moved back (see video at 0:57).

The behemoth walks at about .25 miles per hour or .4km/h

@larrywanders wow.. really this is unbelievable. Thanks a lot for the info :)
