The tractor that is shown at 0:57 is a photo of a reproduction of one of the prototypes (aka "Cubette") that Tim De Looza built.

He also recreated the photo, but in color, using his reproduction tractor.

Here's the black and white photo of the actual prototype:

Here's Tim and his recreated prototype:

Here's a photo of Tim's reproduction Cubette that I took at RPRU 2009.
