You'll might find this interesting. The white stuf scares the out of me.




No personal interest, Mike.

 

link doesnt work.

 

Try this...




I thought it was maddtracks or whatever they were, the ones that replaced the wheel with a snow track. Surprised to see this type work. Cool!

 

I am surprised the tire doesn't want to spin on the track once it gets snow packed in it.
Pretty cool, at it looks faster to swap over and back to a truck again [maybe cheaper too?] than those Mattrack? Maddtracks? that Gorms mentioned.
Those Mattracks make your truck look like an old Tucker snow-cat, but are big $$$.

 

Pretty sweet! All depends what each one weighs now. I know lots of guys that would use these for hunting but only if they can be put in the back of a truck and transported easily.

 

whoever designed that is a genius

 

Santas scared of snow?

 

funny enough some of the guys on dodge forum were looking at those the other day. they were wondering if they would work on a 2wd truck?

 

If the track gets stuck and the tire spins.. what then?

 

They are pretty neat but it looks like you are limited to the size of tire you can run. I would also like to see how it performs in the mud. Both are non issues with the mattracks

 

Looks like they need to be locked/chocked in order to get on/off of them and what's to stop say a pickup with a light a$$ end (no weight in the bed) from jumping off those things with a big enough pot hole/ditch?

Still think it's a pretty cool concept though.

 

cool, but what practical application does that arrangement have?

if you need to traverse deep snow, a fully-tracked vehicle (SnowCat) is your best solution

 

I like Biltits point that some guys that are really into hunting could hit some unplowed road / areas.
It could be great for that.
I just worry if you got stuck way out there, you would be in a bad spot.
When you drive one of the burliest off road vehicles in the area, who do you call to pull you out?
The guy that owns the Tucker Snow Cat down the road?

 

this looks like it would be a great idea for some ranchers up here in the winter time, you could put em on to take hay out to the cows , or for doin things around the ranch where your gonna be out on the land, and then take em off to go to town,

 

this is nothing new, up here in northern mn lots of people have done this to their vehicles (full time or temp) for ice fishing and hunting. then you head west and you will see them around mountain areas. i delivered furniture for about a year and i counted about 20-25 of them sitting in people's garages ranging from old jeeps to suburbans to full size trucks
