    Much bigger footprint on the two tractor/trailers.

    Distribution of the weight, maybe? or maybe it cannot negotiate a curve.

    Spreads it out. It's pound per square foot as much as the total weight.

    That would make sense. More about the additional length of the trucks and the amount of ground area they consume. And they still took the dump bed off the reduce the weight some more.

    I suspect they don't try to go down much of a grade with that setup either.

    Oh Boy ... the weight of the yellow truck is tooooo heavy for it’s footprint . So you add two trucks with all those little wheels spread over a larger area and guess what ? Friggen Science Deniers :D
    Edit: didn’t see everyone already piled on ... never mind

    Which is in turn powered by a diesel generator, like a locomotive?

    Yep. The diesel drives the generator and hydraulic pumps. The thing has a 365 gallon hydraulic system capacity. 82 gallons of crankcase oil.

    We were talking about two treadmills , which side of which treadmill ? And do you glue it or just lick it and stick it ? :D

    We may need another Moebius strip. Surface tension and all that weight should keep the treadmills planted, no?
