then again on second look probably closer to your estimate of 50-60ton, ask the driver!
That's a leopard 2 with a DAF hauler.

I didn't really ask about the weight, I was just told to move it.

Now!

Unfortunately, I'm not a "zipperhead" so I never got a chance to pilot that bad boy leopard.

It is one hell of a bad *** machine though....
