摘要 1. A vehicle comprising a plurality of ground engaging wheels for propelling the vehicle; a load support chassis supported over the ground by said wheels; a body including a front panel attached to the front of said chassis, a left panel attached to the left side of said chassis, a right panel attached to the right side of said chassis, a rear panel attached to the rear of said chassis and a bottom panel attached to the bottom of said chassis; an openable and closeable portal formed in said bottom panel for allowing objects to be passed from the exterior of said vehicle to the interior of said body. 2. The vehicle of claim 1 wherein said portal is sufficiently large for a human to pass through. 3. The vehicle of claim 2 wherein further comprising operator adjustable suspension system connecting said wheels to said chassis for controlling the ground clearance between said body and the ground. 4. A vehicle for operating in mine fields comprising: a plurality of ground engaging drive wheels; a load support chassis supported over the ground by said wheels; a drive system connected to said drive wheels by a plurality of axles for rotating said drive wheels, said suspension system and each of said axles constructed to shear or fracture between said drive wheels and said hydraulic motors, causing a drive wheel to be disengaged from the vehicle upon a predetermined force being imparted upon a drive wheel; said drive system capable of rotating the remainder of said drive wheels permitting movement of the vehicle if a drive wheel is disengaged from the vehicle upon a predetermined force being imparted upon a drive wheel. 5. The vehicle of claim 4, in which a drive system for rotating drive wheels comprises at least one hydraulic pump and a plurality of hydraulic motors, said hydraulic pump hydraulically connected to said hydraulic motors with said hydraulic motor mechanically connected to said axles to rotate said drive wheels. 6. The vehicle of claim 4 wherein said suspension system is connected to said chassis and said axles are connected to said drive system through a plurality of shear pins, causing a drive wheel to be disengaged from the vehicle upon a predetermined force being imparted upon a drive wheel.
