The Italian maker wanted to export to Libya. But it never happened, and it stands around in storage 🚧.

Anyone else a bit surprised at how small it is? Like, yea, it's definitely bigger than a regular bulldozer, but looking at the giant trucks/equipment that are used in places like quarries, this is pretty tiny by comparison.

just a hypothesis: Tracked vehicles do not scale as well as wheeled ones (the chain has to withstand more force, has to have more weight to become stronger …)

Yeah, I was expecting the size of those 200-ton dump trucks. This is small in comparison.
