Geez, Peter!  When I lived in England in the latter half of the 60s my best
British friend was a sheep farmer and he had one of these things all cut
down which he used as a tractor type thing around the farm!  Just seeing it
again brings back fond memories of laying in the mud at 34F with my arm up
to my shoulder inside some stubborn ewe trying to turn the lamb around for
birthing. It would almost be worth $1500 to buy it and push it off a
cliff.....    ;-)

Cheers!!
Jim
