swamp traxx

[jamtoz]

i was thinking to myself wait till those tires get wet! but no it works like a charm!

[AnalogRocks]

I want one of these for my tricycle

[MrDartplayer27]

this is cool!!

[kolosovm]

???? как им поворачивать??? там же гусеницы должны с разной скоростью крутиться

[Cph0181]

The comments people make, say more than they know. So funny how stupid,people can actually be.

[flecur08]

if it aint already, id set it up so that the tires run pumps like a bobcat does, just two instead of four, that crontrol it with joysticks.

[skater4life1000]

turn?

[agoodyz]

thats sick would love to try it out

behind my house in the nasty mud

[cobaltssfourdo0r]

but will it blend?

[Sm00gle]

seems top heavy. seems very easy to rollover on its side 1:41

[MyDucatiGT1000]

wanna have good thermo fans.......i like

[MrCaliboy70]

now thats how u dont get ur feet wet in mud and swampy areas i like

[343ofFDNYsBRAVEST]

Sucks that the truck has to be in reverse

[MrFRANEK2]

that is sick

[I3lackl3ear]

one questions how do u make a turn?

[Dieselboy350]

@I3lackl3ear It has individual brakes. If you brake to the right side your gonna turn to the right side. Same for the left.

[NStalk3]

@I3lackl3ear thats exactly what i was thinking! other wise great idea ha

[tooturbugg20]

@I3lackl3ear there is a wireless joy stick in the cab so that you can turn left or right

[NutStretcher]

@I3lackl3ear Looks like it uses hydrallic levers. You can see a cable going inside the cab of the truck from the trailer.

[MrZac504]

thats way badass, one question though, how the fuck do u steer it?????

[FordDieselMan01]

thats fucking bad ass all you hates are fagots masterbating in your moms basement

[chisoxrk]

You hate your truck don't you?

[MRTWINTURBO88]

A redneck looked at his truck then looked at his trailer and then looked at his welder and came up with this, just makes you wonder how people talk shit about this country when we have people who do this for fun

[mrbunnylamakins]

Make is too where it can tread water and your good to go.

[1Insanretard]

To turn I'm sure it has some type of clutch system for the rear wheels if your mechanically inclined you will know what I mean.

[KLsemperFi7]

@1Insanretard maybe separate brake pedals? simply just stop one wheel and the differential will spin throne wheel which would move only one track... idk how you'd make both tracks move separately though, it would have to be an addition

[theboredredneck]

how do ya turn when the trucks on it?

[jcaled24]

Ingenious.

[hendo337]

How does he turn it? does he have some kind of special control for the right and left rear brakes?

[Devinchi18]

hed be fucked if he got stuck

[1331GAA]

Put a 105 on the front and you got a shooting gallery to anywhere!

[blandishblaze]

seems to submerge a little too deep

[TamkCommander]

only 2 probs 1 u cant turn it. 2 what if its a landrover or something thats 4x4

[flight110]

@TamkCommander Take it out of 4WD??? Unless you meant something that was full time 4x4 aka AWD, and in that case it probably shouldnt be within 20 miles of terrain like this.

[TamkCommander]

@flight110 thats perfect MT-LBU teritory

[theboredredneck]

@TamkCommander you just.....dont drive something full time 4x4? lol

[TamkCommander]

@theboredredneck whats wrong with landrovers and i donbt think u know what an MT-LBU is so i will tell you. Its a russian tracked anphibious APC

[theboredredneck]

@TamkCommander i never said anything was wrong with them, i said drive something that can be put in 2 wheel drive. my truck is full time 4x4 and obviously it wouldnt work on something like this

[1ElectroDan]

Ha, what a joke... let's see it work with slippery wet tires...

[TreyCool94]

@1ElectroDan 1:44

[TomTom101736]

how does it turn?



[thdrbat]

OK....So, who needs to drive in that type terrain anyway?

[GlendonG]

@thdrbat Oh I don't know ... maybe companies like the one that invented the damn thing ?

Whaddya think , that everywhere worth going is already paved ?

[thdrbat]

@GlendonG A company invented that...why?

[steveb1317]

sure you can turn this thing probably a cable that disengauges one side while both wheels still turn, depending on how it works i think it best if you had some type of locker or limited limit slip maybe

[TheForsberg2009]

that ford wouldnt last 2 years hauling on that peice of shit. HAHA

[1515man]

@popceed agreed I was thinking the same thing

[99Optima]

This is an awesome idea. Hats off to the inventor. Please excuse some of the dumb ass remarks posted by small minded simpletons.

[strickca991]

So this only goes in a straight line?

[mvadinan540]

What do you do just go with the flow and end up wherever? Some methed out hillbilly invention. 

[TexasChevrolet]

Damn good idea but i bet its too expensive to be practical

[walkinfatstacks]

so what happens if you have a load on the trailer ????????

[grinninogre]

Yeah so how are they turning it?

[dalton1583]

Lol. Trailer hauling truck.

[TheFreakyfixed87]

well thats one way to go mudding and not have to clean the small spots of your truck lol

[lastoutlaw1000]

to use them you may have to outfit your truck with rear cutting brakes? you know where you can stop one wheel or the other. dunno just throwin an idea out there

[silinder1]

Speacial edition for rednecks :P

[seckixf]

Nice design dick licker, now turn a corner

[thatkidsmokin]

this is fuckin pointless and stupid

[outdoorsman310]

thats cool!

[999benhonda]

i was alittle surprised the tires didnt lose traction on the rollers when they got wet.

[chrisscoleee]

this is fucking stupid

[6poundsoft]

Only a Ford is getting jobs done !

[32middlelinebacker]

how do you keep the truck on if you wanted to do a steep side angle or what happenes if that truck shifts?

[ltsJustAndy]

@32middlelinebacker i don't think swamps are on steep side angles :p

[32middlelinebacker]

@ltsJustAndy ah shit true, im just thinking of how good it would be around my parts lol...

[MRBATHTUB89]

only a ford but its still kinda badass tho

[XxXecbXxX]

thats awesome

[iswad26]

thats a neat invention

[dime6664ever]

ya how in the hell do u steer the damn thing?

[silvertungdemon]

smartass!! thats awsome

[rkj4107]

Something tells me it would be cheaper to buy and build a 4 wheel drive truck...

[navymanma]

how do u steer



[23Yfzracer]

i want one for x-mas

[samsung427]

that thing is bad ass

[MoabYoda]

Wow, The ignorance in the comments posted is amazing. Do a little searching. The unit runs on hydraulic powered created by the drive rollers and no the truck does not run in reverse but in forward gears. Yes it does steer using joysticks you take into the cab. I personally think this is a genius solution for a vehicle that can both go down the highway comfortably for miles then do great in swamps or many other off road environments. Great idea by the builder! Way to go!

[killerute]

@MoabYoda Thanks for clearing that up for the ignorant.lol.pretty simple as you say and genius.

[sbeer6er]

one speed forward and unlimited backward.

[Jishory]

How much? I have never needed anything so much as one of these for my truck.

[bradley19822]

damn it man great invention i could sure use that here where i live on the beach.

[Blender3danimator]

I don't think any stock truck would've made it through any of that shit. Sure I like other brands more than others, but the cunts saying "only a ford would need that" or blah blah blah, should shut the hell up.

If you personally send me a video of a stock Chevy, Dodge, Ford, Toyota, etc making it through that shit, I'll give you $50.

People need to be less ignorant.

[zack95clark]

OR, you could use your tires.

[Rowrsome]

y'all obviously miss the point its meant to get the equipment to and from the field...

[102CubMan]

how does the sum bitch turn???



[popceed]

ok smart guy...now turn the damn thing

[Jargon1984]

@popceed he did at 1:20 and 1:40 smartass

[z3r0RAM]

@popceed if you look you can kinda see the wires going into the truck, so obviously the truck is just used for power and no steering

[Laprise202]

@popceed all you would need is to make the final drive belt powered then make independent clutches for eachside

[SchultzLD]

@popceed The wheels turn a hydro pump that puts power to the tracks. There is a wired remote control in the cab to control it.

How do you think they got around in that swamp, stopped every 10 ft for a better swamp truck to turn it?

[Laevi1337]

@popceed if they dont have the ability to turn i bet they could engineer one fairly easily, just develop a disconnect inside the device so they can momentarily only run one of the treads

your comment was funny im just being a nerd

[insomdob]

@popceed 40 people are as dumb as popceed

[Burgeezy]

@popceed I am thinking they didn't drive that far without ever turning it....there must be a method to do it.

[countrylyfe89]

what lockers r for



[1Kurgan1]

@popceed Do you not understand how tracks work? At 1:25 he turns it, probably not linked to the steering likethe power is linked to the rear wheels. But a simple switch that controls how much power goes to what side of the diff would do it.

[offroadranger4x4]

thats cool

[SouthSideNi99a]

what happens when the water gets strangely deeper

[rangerbrown]

coool stuff

[TheCaferocker]

Thats pretty cool

[MrPeterFinland]

Before the road was invented.

[joethesnake]

thats actually really smart...but how does it steer?

[theblacksheep1000]

what happens when you burn reverse out of your transmission??

[couvidan]

i F**king WANT ONE!!!!! (dear Santa, for Christmas I want.....)

[TheWhacked0ne]

what happens if the rear wheels lose traction?

[johnnyo032003]

@TheWhacked0ne I would assume since this is what it looks like, that the car is ratcheted down to the top, if your losing traction you need to keep your foot out of it.

[Mr340duster]

i want one 4 my truck

[productionvideos27]

i can see that going down hill really fast...

[Wontuseit]

wow this is probably the coolest idea i have ever seen as far as making something versatile that you can drive right up to

[455bob]

make one that u dont have to run in rev

[Setostrife]

stupid waste of money

[SteviePeeOutDoorLife]

@Setostrife maybe where you live,things like this are built for a purpose, the amount of weight is reduced by using this, so you can get a work truck places you would have to use a helecopter.Its not just for budbogging!

[jcooper43]

That's one of the most unique, and genius products I have ever seen. What does something like that cost??

[Ls7colorado]

DO the rollers turn the tracks? or are they powering a hydraulic motor?

[adamberg666]

Make a FWD version for my car, then I will buy one.

[TheSlowCooker]

@adamberg666 go up the ramp backwards! :)

[outacontrol4x4]

thats flat out badass i want one

[joecool248]

not a bad idea but i wouldn't want to hall that big thing around everywhere. might be cheaper to just buy mattracks

[Ls7colorado]

awsome



[savvy4215]

lame



[ismokewead420]

only a ford would need that

[mightymainac]

@ismokewead420 ya but a chev couldnt pull it!

[ismokewead420]

@mightymainac wouldn't have to!

[mightymainac]

@ismokewead420 tell me how that works out for you.....

[cstmx156]

@ismokewead420 only a ford would have enough power to spin em

[RedneckDeerhunter252]

@ismokewead420 Id like to see one of your commie trucks do that without some swamp trax

[zz383mero]

@ismokewead420 Right because it is the only one with enough power to pull it off!

[MrTraxxasmax]

@ismokewead420 it taks a FORD to move it

[darksideoffroad]

@MrTraxxasmax I'm sure they built one for the tow truck to go drag that raggedy piece of crap out the swamp when it starts puking.

[1234goalieguy]

@ismokewead420 only a suzuki would need that.

[ismokewead420]

@1234goalieguy a suzuki wouldn't be there... unless it was a quad.

[youngkid371]

@ismokewead420 yeah a dodge ir chev would just randomley sink with that and its for multy perpos dumbass and coming from some one whoes a crack head ok

[foxracing279]

@ismokewead420 oh so your stock truck came with 54 inch tires that let you bog through shit like that? I must have missed the trucks that came with that option...

[flight2k5]

@ismokewead420 thats a 2wd truck genius

[Opeysan]

Very Cool, plus and down sides to it for sure....but, NOTHING beats the coolness factor. Coolness has NO DOWNSIDES! =)

[Jony80031]

only in a ford



[TheJohnDeereChannel]

I would be worried about the truck over heating

[Marv1451996]

What would you do with an 4wd vehicle? :p

[jmonsterr]

@Marv1451996 put it in two wheel drive...

[chbarrett22]

@Marv1451996 put it in 2wd? lol

[davetileguy]

@Marv1451996 Leave it in two wheel drive ,what do you think?

[snowman3700]

cool rig



[Richierich1285]

so what if the truck has a locking diff

[georgy3030]

I love it. Very very nice engineering must have went into this. The only down side is the amount of fuel i see this thing burning from your truck. :/ But still very very nice.

[Langtry613]

THAT IS THE COOLEST THING EVER!! GHOST TRAILER!

[pathosbedlam]

That's pretty sweet. Different than I was expecting. I thought it was going to be those trax that go on each wheel. But this can go places even they can't go. Nice work.

[620ILoveSoccer620]

WTF CHEATER

[kx85kid12]

You have to have a locked rear for that?

[Richierich1285]

@kx85kid12 no if the truck had a locking diff how would you turn it

[kx85kid12]

@Richierich1285 well on the road you could turn it but with a open diff on that track machine you would be spinning in a circle i would think but idk

[Richierich1285]

@kx85kid12 no you see with a open diff both tires will still spin like they do on the road but on the track machine if u have a locked diff you could not stop one track or the other to turn i dont see how the track machine dont get stuck with a open diff tho

[coldnapalmFJ]

yes please?

[bigchad007]

Holly shit, that is SICK!!!

[lshobie]

needs more cowbell

[DOWNwithDICTATORS2]

That's too weird. It's more like a nightmare than a dream.

[httpzip]

can i punt my fiat 500 on there ?

[SPUPRR]

wow,that is sweet but I see one problem.Ford transmissions do NOT work good in reverse for long.Flow reverses and for long distances they burn up REAL quick or start puking out the fill tube.

[Z287899]

Might throw off your odometer a little? lol

[portertay]

But will it blend?

[muxacb001]

только я не пойму что то за счёт чего оно поворачивает?

[muxacb001]

Вещь!!!! надо такую себе соорудить ....

[salo0om7cool]

WTF ????!!!

[TheCaucasianamerican]

bro i live in fla. and i think u need to hit up florida power and light that shit could sell the always gettin stuck in them utility trucks

[1BustedMyth]

Seriously clever engineering there buddy, I was amazed at some of what you put it through and didn't get stuck

[88redneckboy1]

thats cool as hell were can i get one and for how much

[dargancale27]

is there slippage between the tires n the rollers in water n mud???

[peepeevagi]

You know, there's tires that can do all that :3

I mean, it's an awesome idea, but you could easily put the truck on a trailer, and have a tractor pull ya through.

[Popeye1961]

Every redneck should have one



[webb6669]

this shits retarded, with this you have the chance of chains breaking and your truck falling off of it, and it probably costs just as much for a tracked vehicle. quit fuckin around and buy one

[kamden1980]

I want to send you a case of WD-40 or 3-n-1. That is a god awful squeak.

[upon1gsxr600]

too bad every mile it goes it puts 1000 on the truck

[TheCaucasianamerican]

@upon1gsxr600 in reverse
