Just saw this on a site I use to work on my boat build project, anyone seen this before? It's a first for me.

Neat idea but I imagine it would be pretty pricey and wouldn't be much good with extra snow....

I--Want--One
We're born, we live for a while, and then we die.  Sounds like a good reason to go ice fishing.

It would be an improvment to use a tracks drive system from a snowblower instead of tires with chains! ;)

Theres no way a 2-3 hp auger is powering tracks. Not at any speed anyway. I would absolutely love to build one, but would not buy one.

I agree that it would probably get stuck in snow pretty badly, but it would be nice in some situations, i was just impressed some people make such creative things
