Yup a SEE (small emplacement excavator).

Cool looking little rigs, but from what I have heard from people in the military who used them, they never really worked well, either as a digger or as a truck. The shovel was so small it didn't dig very well. And all the equipment on it made it hard (and sometimes dangerous) to drive at higher road speeds.

Take all the equipment off and they would make a hell of a nice truck for the trails though.

A company in the southern US picked up 20 or so of them a couple months ago and are selling them off as well.

Only thing worth a damn is the running gear.

And this!!

Great idea, bad execution. A real mechanics nightmare, I hated working on them.

i drove a SEE in korea for 1 1/2 yrs and loved it. I learned to drive a stick in the SEE I loved that truck. i would take the bucket and backhoe off and drive it as a daily driver if I had one. Miss all the big trucks I got to drive in the army.
