Used a similar ex-army one of those to dig out a mates yard, his only had two wheels and two long legs iirc. I seem to remember those with wheels being used for grave digging?

This is the model aimed at grave digging, is 2WD & early ones had a second spool block on the lower frame to allow the jacks to be operated, hence 6 pipes went through the rotary union (2 to drive motor, 2 to steer ram & 2 to general power beyond flow & return pair to lower jacks block) So jacks operated from the ground - not cab - may have changed later. 20Hp Lister LV2 engine. Cab denotes post '84.
