Those Vehicles were made in the city of „Steyr“ by Steyr Daimler PUCH in Austria 🇦🇹. It’s the next town to my town. When I was young I worked in this company as an electrician in the late Seventies. Greetings from Austria 🇦🇹🏔⛷🛶🍺🥨🌻💪🐺Europa!
not enough people have the the amount of land or desire to have a vehicle that can transport heavy loads over mud like this. maybe for off roading enthusiasts
Caterpillar or John Deere should adopt and update this design with wider rubber Belt Tracks... Farmers and Rural Folks would love to have a light Tracked Truck like the RSO... and just think what an impact it would make by helping to save our precious Concrete and Asphalt Reserves!!!
it was built for using in the conditions of the Russian front ~ R S O meant Raupen Schlepper Ost (Ost means East>Eastern Front) so yes it was built with purpose
