Cool, very cool! It looked like the truck was in reverse to drive the tracks?

 

I agree with Tim, EXTREMELY cool.

Now I'm gonna hafta build one!

 

There are some really cool inventors out there...

 

Nice find! I'm betting there's a ton of Pipeliners out there that would love to have one of those underneath their rig! Looks like it would be good for the muskeg up in Canada!

 

That is awesome!

 

I used to work for a snowcat company and thought of that first one years ago, but was afraid the tires would slip on the traction drive.

 

Just strap it down like on a dyno...

 

How does it steer? I wonder if the truck fill up w/ water when it got deep?

 

We're thinking alike about the pipeliners. The only drawback to that is if Blake would have had one a few months ago Eric wouldn't have a new avatar and the rest of us wouldn't have had all these months of enjoyment ragging him.

 

search mattracks,made in northren Minn. Nodwell flextrack steers by applying brakes on left or right rear brakes,search nodwell to see pic of them.

 

I've gone through 15 pages of Google returns and still can't find any manufacturing info on the company but I did find this.

I guess I should have typed it differently, I wonder how the truck on that trailer steered? You can't apply brakes to just one side of the truck to steer it. Unless it's hooked up differently. It's not really important I was just curious. It's the engineer trying to get out of me.

 

I looked at Mattracks, that's where I found the powerboard.
