i wonder how you would go about getting that thing up out of the ice if you did go thru? Looks nice.

I believe they're made to float...

I think you are right. I think I remember seeing a post about this craft last year.  Showed it going through and driving out. I wonder how it would work in the slush and deep snow?  A lawn tractor would work on the ice shown in the vid!

i see that it looks like it floats. but once you dunk it thru and are sitting there bobbing in the hole you just made then what? the wheel base looks like its 10' long. Is that supposed to help in driving out of the hole? Seems like the tires would have to be studded with 2" studs to drive that thing out?i have put my 4 wheeler thru in shallow water and trying to get the front wheels back over the lip of the ice is nearly impossible without a wench.

Theres a video on their site - depending on the situation you can just drive it up onto the ice or it might take a slight tug of a rope. The video is pretty neat and they seem like a nice investment if you have $10k laying around... but I personally could find better things to spend that kind of money on. :)

I looked at them at an outdoor show last spring and the guy said that in order to back out of water on to the ice you had to buy an option that extended the wheels out farther behind the machine. It was a spendy option. I think they also had a track kit to extend out beyond the rear that was spendy also. They did have a film though showing them driving onto 1" of ice, drilling holes and fishing. Cool machine but the price on the one I looked at was $12k. They also said it could be used as an ATV, but it looked like as long as it is, it would be high centered a lot.
