I would think it would be more suited for military applications, for high speed, and on-road capabilities. It doesn't seem like it would have the same strength as a conventional dozer, but it would have better visibility.

Seems like they've been getting used quite a bit already, so people must like them.

The main advantage of this machine you can drive on concrete surfaces with out damage. No need to lay tires to drive over.  bad pic but you can get what I am getting at they have these all around this area, pretty cool to watch  Jason
