    A little modification to make the ‘wheels’ drill holes and you are in business.

    I wanted to see it go from snow to ice …break thru the ice…get out of the hole back onto ice and then off to ice fishing !!!

    I have never seen a machine like that before. I am lost for words.

    I’ve never seen one either. That rig is sweet!! I wonder if those “wheels” are hollow? If so would it float when breaking through the ice?

    Easier to just call sportsman or wig wam and see if there are any retired bombers for sale in the area,Thay would come with windows and heaters and all the creature comforts probably.It would be fun to be the first guy on the block to have the old antique though.

    Didn’t the Army have something like that for going through swamps in Nam? I’m not sure if it ever got over there, but I know they were playing with something like that. Those big screw jack pontoons floated too. That is way cool. Wouldn’t that be great in the spring when you are trying to get off the ice and there are tons of slush and deep snow?
