Found this little machine at my school a few days ago and I felt an overwhelming need to share it with teh sijun community. Anyone who can guess what it does wins a free pixel!

It's clearly meant for cutting down swarms of mummies.

| It's a modern battle chariot! It's used to squash, saw and shred the enemies of your school! Sick.. those sick creative minds of art students. |

It does what it has to do. Anything to get the job done. It obeys all orders given by the commanding chief.

It looks like an asphalt ripper; it grinds down the top layers of asphalt in perparation for resurfacing.

Something to do with grass or farm fields.
- Cuts grass into strips to be sold to people too impantient to wait for grass seed to grow.
or
-Used in farm fields to churn up the ground for planting, then those horizontal tubes dispence seeds onto the conveyor belt at the rear that drops them to the ground. But can only be operated by a very angry farmer, grrr!
or or
-Hmm... Sweden... Antique snow blower |

The vehicle has indeed proven to be very effective against various undead creatures as well as smaller to mid-sized critters. Howewer, the true nature of the primary function lies somewhere between Nulis and Tzan's guesses...
Now, keep guessing, remember what is at stake! |

HAHA!
Definitely something to do with dirt. Those little round blades to the right of the green saw blade is something you see on farm equipment. But the rest of the machine is scary.
So... do I get half a pixel? You can set alpha at 50%
I might guess a potato harverster but the second roller would squash them flat. OH... Mashed Potato Harvester!
I've seen machines that dig small trees 18" out of the ground at tree farms but they look totally different. |

The not so sexy truth is that it's a machine that makes pellets out of peat.
Sorry, no free pixels will be handed out, better luck next time! |
