Mystery machine

Post #1 by martyn williams » Mon Oct 11, 2010 8:14 pm

Out and about in my van today I spotted a machine on drainage duties on the Gwent levels.It was clearing ditches.
It looked a cross between a tractor and a 360 excavator.It was green in colour.It was fitted with a Vtype rake bucket.Anyone know what it is.I may take my camera to work tomorrow and take a photo of it.
