Thanks to Jim Hopkins and his book "Inventions from the Shed" I can bring a a picture of a real, live "probligo".
This one was built mid-60's for the express purpose of travelling over very wet ground (note the mud?), and on steep hillsides to rescue sheep in distress.
The tiller instead of handlebars?
1. "We didn't have any handlebars.
2. "There was this nice piece of macrocarpa in the back of the shed and it worked."
3. "Ever tried hanging on to a sheep, not falling off and steering all at the same time?"
Any others?
