i seen a homade job using atv tracks like that last week it was a homeade frame using all subaru running gear. it was very finely crafted. i was abel to talk with one of the owners he said they had built it for thier ice shack rental bussiness and he liked it because it had power stearing. he said them tracks on his atv made it almost impossable to steer unless in a swamp. i belive they would be very hard on steering componets and frame at steering box unless it was all beefed up looks like they would go through the sh!t though.

Do you think it would be so hard to stear if the front axle was not a drive axle? Its hard to tell but it looks kind of like the front of this truck does not have a diff on it. what do you see?

Re: Is this your Rig?
 

yes it was the friction and the weight on the atv there is alot of leverage with such a long footprint it will steer fine with power steering but taxes the system imo

I have seen trucks like that at are owned by ski hills. If you watch those things drive they are pretty sweet. A truck like that would be unstopable. One downfall is that can't be used on the road. I could see how this system would be though on your steering components since the tracks, wheels and frames would be a lot heavier the just wheels and tires.

Those things are pretty sweet. There is a company that makes them, primarily for farm use. I saw a display for them at a big farm/ag expo a while back where they had it set up on a F-250.

Truckin magazine had a cover truck like that a few years back ; however, the truck was being trailered and the entire rig rolled off a hill killing the driver of the 18 wheeler.

I voted "Leave it" simply because that is my current attitude, but If I had to navigate soft ground or snow every day, that would be the way to do it. Large four wheel drive tractors have been going this way for while. The fewer psi you put to the ground the better off you are in those situations, and since you can only reduce the weight of the truck so much, spreading that weight over more area seems like it would be helpful.
