I sure wish we'd had something like that when I was in the Army!
We had these funky wheels we snapped on the skids then jacked up with a hydraulic jack thingie.
It was located at the presumed center of gravity so one person could steer with the tailskid while a few others pushed and pulled.
A real pain when an incline or rough ground was involved.

Can see it now....looks like it has a motorised roll in one direction. Would'nt be great if one could turn it as well.

I never could figure out why they thought skids were better for choppers ... :banghead:
