Cat moves it, and ought to use this video as advertisement! The Ghirardi Oak was moved by Hess Landscaping Construction by using a D7 dozer, a D8, and a trio of 345 excavators



This video looks great in full screen, and the lack and white images are only there for a historic perspective for the first minute


http://hesstrees.com/comptonoak/ for a gallery of images


http://hesstrees.com/comptonoak/blog/ for the what, how, and why of this Compton Oak... which was an acorn brought by the first immigrants to this area of Texas from Louisiana

Hess landscape Construction is a company from near San Jaun Capistrano, California

It's been a couple years since I posted the best of Dieselpunk... so here's an update

 Russian, 1937

 Ever seen a tank tread like this? I haven't. It's an Imgoldby transporter




Lotsa engines, and a huge fuselage... Italian? Russian?
All found on the militant Steampunk style site.. . http://dieselpunk.livejournal.com

old and unusual vehicles that are getting emailed around this week

 I believe the above is a bread delivery truck... must be successful to afford the coachwork!
 very elegant tour coach tram... this would not be good in any area with weather, but terrific for Southern California... all we get is sun from March to December.. yes, I am bragging. It's expensive too.
 the above... is EARLY! 1890's? I think! Victorian to Edwardian for sure

 one tiny tracked tourer
 Movie studio lot transport? Tourist carrier?
 She must be in incredible muscular shape to push pull that cycle
 No notes with this email of photos to indicate why two images of this cycle car are here, it's the same motorcycle rear, and I guess the front is the same, but at a later time, when he added headlights and the trunk on the roof

 An orient buckboard above
Thanks to commentor Boonie, the above people carrier is identified as a Lister Auto Truck, and a website link I am grateful for was offered that displays a great number of images that demonstrate a variety of these small industrial motorized service craft used in the 1920's and 1930's  http://www.autotruck.org/apps/photos/album.jsp?albumID=3840394  and below is a better look at one


Another reminder that there is always more wheeled machines that I've never seen or heard of to discover! 
 I've posted about this motorwheel http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/search?q=dynasphere it's the Dynasphere of Dr Purve
it was too big to be able to turn when needed...
