Double Unicorn Anyone? JD 743 Harvesters

Didn’t get a good look, was just driving through the yard and snapped a few pictures.

Immediately knew what they were. Not in bad shape, could probably scrape one together between the two?

Super cool to see in person.

What they look like with air in 4 tires.

Thanks for the link plebian. I've never seen one, let alone, in action. That's pretty dang cool. An articulated rubber tires excavator, of sorts.
Chopper95, you gonna resurrect one from 2 . That's awesome. Are they typically a forestry thing or dirt mover? What was their primary purpose.

Thanks for the video. Looks like a repurposed skidder and that they did a good job of it. I haven't seen a clipper at work in a lot of years.

I have spent some time on one of those in Colorado and Wyoming. Always wanted to make a firewood processor out of one.
