I had a chance to get up close and personal with a couple of them a few years ago.

I wish I’d had an opportunity to drive one of them.

Update: it’s really slow. Unsurprisingly. But it is pretty incredible to drop into low range in first gear and idle along at like 2mph. The final drive in low-low is like 58:1 in first gear. Also the engine is actually fairly quiet. But the gear noise from all that drivetrain is just enough of a racket and a consistent noise that earplugs are pretty much necessary if you don’t want a major headache.
