Leopard 2 Recovery Tank "Buffel" - Tractor Pulling Schoonebeek

In terms of traction, engine, chassis, drive train and all other respects apart from its weight it is a stripped down Leopard 2. I think that it would be reasonable to assume that a Leopard MBT would achieve the same - so calling it a Leopard is fair. If the Buffalo has a different gearbox or engine, then it ISN'T reasonable to say it's a Leopard2. Does it have a different engine?
