Want!

How's this for a cool 'go-anywhere' type of rig? The Russian made Sherp ATV is just that kind of vehicle, though I promise you, purchase price does not include a shirtless Vladimir Putin! haha!
Designed by Aleksey Garagashyn, this 1.5. liter, 44 hp little 'dozer' can only reach a land speed of 45kmph, but it will go across, over and through just about everything you can throw at it, and it is capable of water travel to, albeit at 5 kmph. Equipped with a set of self inflating 1600mm tires, it can climb over objects as big as 70 cm, though if you've ever operated a skid steer like myself, you know there's got to be a crazy bit of tilt and tipping point. 
Starting price will run you around $50,000 for the basics, which is really basic, with a canvas top and not much for way of amenities in the cabin. The 'Kung' version upgrades you a bit for about $5,000 but no matter the model, this little beast can tackle whatever Mother nature can throw at it and more.
Crazy looking rig!

It goes anywhere, but slowly

And it goes over lots of stuff too


Basically, it's just a giant skid steer

Nothing fancy here


It's a watercraft but only chugs along at about 5kmph
Great for crossing a lake or bog

Access is just like on a skid sterr too
