Cool way to get across the snow.

Saw this link today, and wonder if it will adapt to become a fast skidder?

For the dial-up'rs, this is a tracked dozer that gets up to 18 mph. Tracks on all four corners. Zips right along.

Couldn't tell what the driver was wearing, but knowing Deere, she was blond. ;D ;D

Before I even opened it I thought that might be what you where talking of. I saw that a few years back. I think it was based on a Ford/ Fordson tractor unit.

Well, faster than I remembered, and I wish the horse could have whipped the guy for putting him thru that. :-X

Would be really neat if it floated too. Those tanks look almost big enough to be pontoons.
