Has anyone seen this before?

What a freaking odd concept.

Cool! That is weird. Wonder what it wouldn't travel over well on? I'm thinking concrete or similar.

That was bizarre! Not as cool as the WWII Willys Jeep that was made into a halftrack though.

I like the Willy but the tank trumps the jeep for coolness in my book.

True, but the Jeep would be more usable. That tank would be the shizz in sand or snow though. Bet it's a biatch to transport too.

I've seen another similar video of a similar machine. The video I saw was supposedly the inventor of that idea. It was one of the first snow machines. Those screws were made strictly for snow I believe, so a vehicle like that wouldn't ever been any where that didn't have snow.
