Before I got the Tucker, I got a test-drive in a 6 wheel drive plastic-hull amphibous vehicle with rubber snow tracks wrapped around it, similar to that one. I forget what brand this was. I guy in Post Falls sold them. They were made in Canada. The wheels were driven by chains inside the hull. I found that it was surprisingly rough and noisy, even worse than a Tucker, and going up a steep road with a large snowmobile rut down the middle, it wallowed around badly. All in all, I was disappointed with it, especially for the price. The one advantage over the Tucker is that it was skid-steer so it could turn in a smaller area (Tuckers are hell to turn around on a narrow mountain-side road).
These type of rigs are really designed to be amphibious swamp buggies, not snow vehicles.
