Land Rover Forward Control 101 1 ton Gun Tractor. The prototypes were tested here in Malaysia with a powered trailer driven off the PTO. It seemed quite clever until they realised that in a deep V-gully, the powered trailer could cause the main vehicle to drop-arse and lift the front wheels, often resulting in a roll.... :-(
Needless to say, they never made it into production. Interesting idea though.
