Very Unique / Rare Bobcat

[sledesigns]

I've always been curiuos about the rumors of a 6x6 Bobcat mostly used for forestry. I'd never seen a real picture until I found this ebay ad for the 1213. Neat engineering, pivoting drop box for 2 axles from original front. Extended hydraulic pivot height rear axle. I would have to have it if it was dirt bucket friendly. (hope this link is in someway useable)

I have only seen one other picture of one, and it needed repair. Always thought they would make a kick azz brush mowing or grinding machine, not sure how good the design was and if reliabilty was a problem or not.
They never really caught on in the logging sector, though there was a few of the 4 wheel shears in these parts and the seemed to perform well if the ground was not too rough.
