a "Snow Tractor" invented by Henery Ford. If you havent seen this

1926 Snow Tractor - rare original video of an invention by Henry Ford that never went very far.
1926 Snow Tractor You're not gonna believe this................Talk about ingenuity! This
is a 1926 silent film (on video) of a tractor-snow-machine invented by Henry Ford, who is shown driving it.

Watch the whole thing. Note the "hat and tie."!


For the tractor lovers amongst us.

What a cool machine. Kind of a pre snow mobile machine. Wonder why it did not catch on, seems like a pretty simple design.
Who knows, maybe we will see a updated version in the near future.
