@angelotrezza You are correct the video was taken when it was raining. This machine is designed to work in tropical condition very often on recently drained "peat" swamp in Borneo Island, where we receive more than 4000 mm of rainfall per year. The machine work 6 days per week, 52 weeks per year. Yes occasionally they do get bogged down in the mud but usually the team of workers with the Buffalo can push it out due to its flotation tyres and it is light weight, trust we answered your question.

Looks good on dry soil. I would love to see it on mud.
