I've not seen anything like that here in the US. In what nation was that photo taken? US? Canada? UK? Somewhere in northern Europe? If we know that we might be able to narrow it down a bit by manufacturer.

It appears that it is a rear sprocket drive.

Do you have other photos, perhaps of the engine, cabin interior, transaxle, some of those things may have visual cues that we can use to help identify this unit.

I'm guessing its a utility vehicle for backcountry use, but not a snow vehicle. Rather something to access remote work sites through bogs, sand, fields and, from the looks of the tracks modest snow. The tracks don't have any lateral stability flanges to prevent sliding sideways so it doesn't appear to be equipped to operate on steep but soft ground (snow).

Looks like it could be fun to play with.

there was a thread a while back about snow cats in sweeden i remember some thing like that with the audi diesel in it the rig looks like a trail grooming vehicle or tractor type vehicle for towing trailers or sleads
