    I want one of those!! I can’t believe I’ve never saw one on RFD TV program on antique tractors and such.

    I would bet somebody got killed or something, big law suit and that is why they quit making them. Safety looked like it took a back seat in the manufacturing. That open chain in the back would be a leg eater.

    How about a MM early 50s or a JD B 1949. The Minnie has wide front.

    Man that is a cool machine for being made in 1924.Put some big fenders over the rollers,chain gaurds on it like mentioned it would be fun.Wonder how they made the rollers for it,had to have been of steel.Wonder if it floated to.Cool video.

    Float? Excellent idea! Ah man, an early/late ice machine!

    Floating was my first thought too – they look like huge pontoons to me. If the ice gives, it becomes a boat!

    If I were the horse used in making this video I would have kicked that dude in the head.

    I could see this concept working with reinforced fiberglass
    tubes and hydraulic drive. It would take a smarter guy than
    me to design it.
