That was posted a while back, but it's fun to see it again. What a machine!

Was it able to turn both floats the same direction to move sideways?

Yeah, pretty cool. There're some more videos on youtube showing some heavier duty, Russian Military built versions.

Sister has a 1927 Fordson tractor in a shed. The frame and motor look just like the video's but it is on metal wheels. Its missing the magneto. Says it was made in Ireland though.

Yup, Fordson was Henry Fords Euro endeavor. Named it after his son.

I did not know that Ford+Son---makes sense. Just as Dodge makes sense like Get out of my way you chevy/ford driving moron. Ummm, I do have an 84 Ford Ranger and a 77 Chevy plow truck but heck......
