I know info & pictures of one of these was posted awhile ago. I saw this video posted on another site & thought I'd share it here. Kinda makes me want to fab up a modern version.....It's just too cool !!

I think it would be cool to fab up a modern version using a diesel engine & a complete hydrostatic drive set up robbed from a bobcat or another skidsteer.
Then install a late model pick up over top , with a suspension that allows the drive drums to pivot somewhat to allow for uneven ground conditions, & an air ride set up for the passenger cab...........now to win that lottery..........!!

tucker took a crack at it back in the day...I heard that deep snow was a problem for them, at least deep powder found out west.
