Not an expert but it looks like a self erecting tower crane which have the counterweights at the base of the crane. Remote controlled from ground level, so no Tower Crane Driver to get lonely, with limited lifting capacity they're normally used where there is limited space so I've no idea why they need one in the middle of a field.
