4 Wheel Drive -- drill motors, one per side, chain links front and rear wheels.

2 joint arm, one linear up down, one pivot.

Grabber/arm looks to be a 4 banger with First-In-Last-Out ball routing.

Probably can spit the balls out up hill so that they don't have to lift their pivot above the 6 ft bar.

Can they get under the 30 inch bar? I guess not, but I could be wrong. Perhaps the 'bat hooks' fold down as they go under. Can't see it happening based on the photo, but it may be possible.

There linear lift looks like a set of duel racks (or perhaps sprokets walking up dual chains), one on each side of their machine. Raises and lowers their main arm joint as well as providing their lifting action -- very clever.

If you see I have missed something, or made a mistake, or if you have something else to contribute, do tell all.

Joe J.
