World's Largest and Crazy Digging Machine

This is the largest digging machine (or trencher or rotating shovel) in the world.
It was built by Krupp and is shown here crossing a road in Germany on the way to its destination,
an open air coal mine. Although at the mine the treads are unnecessary,
it was cheaper to make the machine self-propelled than to try and move
it with conventional hauling equipment.
