Ian 2,417 #2 Posted June 21, 2015 That's an interesting build, even though he is having serious problems with it I hope he keeps going and get's it working right.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 4,458 #3 Posted June 21, 2015 I've seen something along those lines before. But on water. Like his excavator. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slf-uk 914 #4 Posted June 21, 2015 Great build, although I have the feeling from the video that he has given up on it. I am sure I have seen something on a much bigger scale built for the Russian military Iain Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 4,458 #5 Posted June 21, 2015 Watch his vid, then when finished look at the next lot. On off those Russian one on there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
expeatfarmer 591 #6 Posted June 21, 2015 I have seen tractors in Russia working on that system, they are used on very wet peat bogs where flotation is essential and traction limited. Get it wrong in those conditions and you are in serious trouble. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wallfish 698 #7 Posted June 21, 2015 This video from 1929 concept was posted a few times on other forums. The thing I find most interesting, is how they used a steering wheel to control it vs. using levers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBjlSJf4274 1 HeadExam reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HeadExam 1,783 #8 Posted June 21, 2015 I also saw the 1929 Allis in deep snow not long ago. That may be where he got the idea.That is an awesome machine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the showman 4,074 #9 Posted June 22, 2015 I'm loving that , how much mess would that make on the lawn and patio, don't think I would be Mr popular. At least the Trachorse has rubber tracks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
