You are absolutly correct. While the four-legged backhoe might be a edited picture, there are in fact "Walking Excavators" that are used to manuver difficult terrain. (They are fairly common in europe, but not around here)



They have wheels on one end and use the stabilizers on the front of the excavator to "Walk" along. All four legs are independantly operated to help level the machine out

This page describes them nicely
