Bundeswehr rolling test stand for heavy vehicles: Lauster MF-60

[Hobbes]

In the 1970s, Lauster developed a one-off vehicle for testing the performance of tanks etc. in the field. The MF-60 ('Measuring vehicle, 60 tons') was named for its max. pulling force of 60 tons, enough to drag a Leopard tank with its tracks locked up.

I've know of this vehicle for a long time, but I've only been able to find a few photos of it. This video shows the vehicle in use.

Woah! That's the 4-poster simulator I installed at Trier at 1:15 or so.
