The lightest ever bulldozer was constructed by Hiromi
“Shogun of Origami” Shumizuko of Tokyo, Japan. The working model, constructed
almost entirely of construction paper, weighed in at 22 kilograms, and was used
by Shumizuko to plough an acre of grassland in Shiretoko National Park, on the island of Hokkaido, Japan, in March 2002, until it collapsed in a light
shower.

When the bulldozer was ruined, Shumizuko abandoned the tractor project, and sold the bull to a private collector. Photograph by Scarygami. |
