1926 Fordson tractor on snow - spiral 'tracks'

[spudboy]

Thought this was pretty interesting, because firstly it is from 1926 and secondly because it wouldn't be a bad idea for a Land Rover in snow or mud.

It is some sort of prototype snow going tractor.

For the tractor lovers amongst us. (http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,213971.0/topicseen.html)

The vid is a bit long (unless you are passionate about tractors) but if you skip forward, you can see it towing 20 tonnes of logs, and also adapted to run under a Model T ford.

I think this invention has been attributed to a Russian who devloped the spiral drive system for military use. Cool, nevertheless!
