Interesting Tank Indeed.

Looks like it utilizes a skid steer style hydraulic system. If you watch the Youtube link he mentions he got the three cylinder diesel from a generator that was going to be excessed. Free powerplant.....Nice!

We've been discussing trying to build a hydraulic system that is not direct but rather tensioned belt system so you can adjust between hydraulic pump flow and efficiency. Also would be easier to work on in the field.
