Mobility mule

A work machine comprising

• a base;
• a mount supported by the base;
• an arm pivotally coupled to the mount, the arm comprising:
• a boom extending laterally away from an axis of rotation of the arm;
• and
• an engagement mechanism positioned at an end of the boom;
• and
• a first tractive assembly coupled to a first side of the base and a second tractive assembly coupled to a second side of the base, wherein a distance between the first tractive assembly and the second tractive assembly is extendable, such that the work machine is moveable between a transport position wherein the work machine has a first total width and a working position with a second total width, the second total width greater than the first total width.
