I guess it’s not like you’re going to drive it to the office each day. Unless the office is quie remote!

Does the steering wheel even do anything? Id like to see the inside of these to see the controls

I’d assume the steering wheel is used to turn the tracks....

Below is a photo before he tracks were bolted on

Thats some serious pressure on wheel bearings and steering components.

Great for the snow belt. No doubt that is what the creators were thinking of. The snow in the northern and mid-western states is why yanks drive those big jacked up pickup trucks with huge tyres.

The old Series II took the loading OK, a bit less power though....

The Cuthbertson tracks were much heavier than those fitted to this Perentie.

They are Mattracks. You just bolt them on in place of the wheels. Everything works as normal and you can change back at any time. Around $20000 for a set.
