ABSTRACT:
The invention is a small, maneuverable, self-propelled tracked vehicle equipped with a boom having a tool attached to an extendable section of the boom. The vehicle is small and light enough to enter and be used in places, such as residential yards, in which traditional vehicles with buckets and digging tools, because of their size and weight, cannot be used. A three-stage gear pump powers the tracks and the boom on the bucket or digger. The vehicle has four outriggers to stabilize the vehicle during use, the outriggers arranged substantially perpendicular to each other and at angles of approximately forty-five degrees from the longitudinal axis of the vehicle.
