Making SkiDozer into Search and Rescue

I've modified my two-passenger SkiDozer to serve as a search and rescue vehicle for my county emergency team.

I needed to have a way to quickly transport it to a dispatch center so I bought a used trailer and designed ramps for loading the SkiDozer on the deck-over trailer.

The added space includes a "bump-out" to allow a Stoke's Basket (similar to a metal stretcher up to 84 inches long) to fit in case someone is injured seriously enough to need a stretcher.

The extra large rear window is to allow supervision of a groomer being pulled behind (if there's enough snow next year.)

I've fashioned a bracket to attach the steps in front of the original cab.

Reflectors and red lights for the back side will complete the project.
