Took a bike ride with @Mauve_matelot to Bigbury on Sea.
How do you get from Burgh Island to the mainland when the tide is in?
Boat?
Nope.
Sea Tractor!
Poirot fans may recognise this place from David Suchet's version of Evil Under the Sun.
@stueytheround @Mauve_matelot I love this film, only "Murder on the Orient Express" is better. But did you actually trust this tractor? It looks ... not very stable in terms of its center of mass.

There's been one working there for a hundred years (not the same one. This is the 3rd). No problems that I'm aware of.
The chassis is mostly steel girders and the cabin is mostly wood. Deceptively low centre of mass. @Mauve_matelot
@stueytheround @Mauve_matelot I trust you as you trusted it. It just looks like it could easily flip over. Obviously, an image does not reflect the mass distribution.
