Don't think I've ever seen that. Saw a prototype similar to that before but not built in the same location as this. Looks like it could be a practical alternative for cabin access, search and rescue, and resort use. Probable a few more uses I can't think of right now.

I realize the ice fishing model is specifically designed for that but they also have another model which is the one I was looking at. The website has a pretty good video on it showing the differences between the two models.

The front and rear suspension appears to be a simple oversized snowmobile suspension so parts should be readily available.

Downside is the skis for the front. Not sure how well that would work on rough ground, in the woods when there might be a branch covered in snow, etc. Looks like it would be best on hardpack, snow covered frozen lakes or snow covered fields, roadways, etc.

For some reason I think I recall Pixie posting a link to a machine like this one a year (or 2) ago. Maybe she can recall the make/model.

a couple of those were at arctic man a couple years back.they worked fine on the flats,but seemed underpowered when they started climbing anything even relatively steep.deep powder was a no-no with it.if i lived close to a big lake to fish maybe,but for the 22000,i'll have something that does it all....or real close....bill w

Ya... saw one at the Fryeburg Fair a couple of years ago.

Looks like a nice machine for ice fishing in Minnesota. Too wide for personal use on trails in the East.

I want the hovercraft in the picture !!!!!
