And we have a winner! Thanks Pat, Raidtrac 1800.
Not lots of info available on them even off of their own site. Looks kinda neat, I'm guessing chains and brake steer.

I had a brochure for one many years ago, as I recall it had chain final drive, steering by cone clutch but I don't remember whether disc, drum or band brakes, and a really small engine, about 4MPH or so max speed. I do remember that the GP was very low, about .3PSI with those aluminum grouser tracks like that one has. Made in eastern Canada somewhere. 1 person cab marketed for CC trail grooming and hauling log with different tracks. 'Sweet labor in tree farming', I think it said.

Played around with one of these some years ago. Woefully underpowered, at least at altitude. I think it had fan belt drive around clutches. It floated on unbroken powder pretty well but going uphill a brisk walk was faster (and a whole lot quieter). I would have guessed it weighed more like 2500 lbs.
 
i have an older raid track it's about the size of a cushman trackster and a little 20 horse tecumsha with a 2 speed trans its slow like a krusty but seems to be a simple rig
