Is it me or has this video/link been posted many times already through out the forum???

It is a cool concept though.

Yep..... two or three times here that I know of. Pretty neat though.

It's becoming a classic but still awesome to see!

I wonder how they made it turn?

I wonder how hard it would be to make the rear drive unit?

Skid Steer. You can see a few times in the video that the inner drum is stopped.

it was probably replaced by the skid steer with tracks. i can see it getting pretty hot due to friction with lots of wear on the drums when the snow/ice lube melts and is replaced by dry land. i guess it was designed to be removed and the axles and wheels put back on during the non winter months. neat idea, though!

Glad it was re-posted, never saw it before and it's a great concept. Surprised something like that isn't around for snow use. (It's obviously a dedicated snow machine like a snowmobile). I don't think even a tracked skidsteer would fair well in 4 feet of loose snow!

Oh sure you guys with the Limousines of tractors would have stereos and all of that stuff plowing snow with that thing.. That video was certainly before ROPS and seatbelts.. OSHA would have a picnic writing up the hazards on that machine..
Still it was cool to see.
