This winter we had an unreal amount of snow and couldn't really ride my trike so I had a crazy idea of putting an other axle on my trike and wrapping it with a snowmobile track.. Results.. Unreal! Like a little tank!!
I have a front ski and I run it in low range.

In the pictures Im in about 3 feet of snow and only sinking 5-6 inches.

I seen this on Facebook. Seems nicely built.

I couldn't help but laugh at the comment someone left. "That thing must turn like an ocean liner."

We need a video one of these days.

Yeah i think your lucky getting snow... In minnesota we have maybe a foot in a big drift in a yard. Mainly 6-12 inches other wise and out in the fields theres nothing:cry: what did you use for tracks?

You get it stuck yet? I can't imagine it's fun getting that thing out with no reverse.

Yes, easy to get out, pack a little snow in front of the track then GO.

looks like a fun machine!
My guess are the tracks came from 70's ski doo they look like 18 inch nordic or TNT
