This is our moose retriever.

Russ is the only one licensed to operate this, and he sits in the driver's cabin at the very front to steer this 10 ton steam powered rig! Actually, this is a real Lombard Log Hauler from the earliest days of mechanized logging. This baby would haul a whole train of big sleds loaded with pulp wood out of the forest to the river. In the winter, the front wheels were replaced with skiis. If the thing got out of control on a downgrade, the driver was in a very precarious situation. I don't think it had an airbag.
