I’m not sure what to make of this beast. What exactly do you do with it? This isn’t something that snuggles into the corner of a decent sized room.

It’s really border line silly, in an impressive way. Looking around back, there’s a tiny little single connector, which just adds to the ridiculous factor.

Looks like they built it to be moved by a forklift or pallet jack. That was good thinking. Don’t know about a forklift in the house though. Maybe drop it inside the front door on 20 or so of those furniture sliders. Sure, that’ll work. Now about those stairs. :oops:

Except for the missing imprints on cone and dust cap, the driver looks exactly like the A&D AD502. A&D makes an even bigger monster, the AD804.
