I think the Weasel is more like the Argo -- a swamp buggy that can also manage on fairly flat packed snow. Either one would wallow on its belly in deep soft snow. I had the Argo dealer bring one up once for a test drive and as soon as we got off the groomed snowmobile trail and started heading up the steep narrow road over the mountains it bogged down and could barely move. I'd still rather have a Weasel than an Argo any day. They're built like a real vehicle and not a plastic wheelbarrow with 8 bicycle sprockets attached to it. A Tucker is just for snow, so no need to compromise it with a low-slung floatable hull.
