Re: Pinzgauer with Mattracks on snow

[Jaygoodpatriot]

LOL, reading the comments can be fun. All I have to say is one thing, If you have to ask, Then you just don't understand!!!!!!

[MYSTOFFLAMES]

What did you use to record this!? A banana

@HKMANIAK Was chatting to a soldier who has driven them and Landies here in NZ. She said Pinzies are a pig to drive on the road but make up for it off-road. And unlike the NZ Armys ancient Landies, they are reliable. Saw one a few months back towing a Landie, which said it all... They do seem a bit heavy to me, I have to say...

[sonnylatchstring]

Why don't they just clear the road free of snow like civilised people use to do?

[LFjohny]

Steyr - Daimler - Puch are the best vehicles in my land in austria

[llVIU]

it has a tire for the lulz, ok?

[zhsy00001]

Why does it have a spare tire?

[neo1793]

i think i have a new best friend. Mind if I take it for a spin? ;)

[rileyafrench]

Dear Santa....

[gawker8750]

Wow. I never would have guessed that everyone would fixate over the spare tire! ?!

Whatever...

[Cognetto]

the spare tire is just a accessory..lol

[scottishbadboytracks]

@HKMANIAK My mate uses his for shooting parties.And he does most of the servicing himself.I must add he is not a mechanic ;-D

[kittygirl4eva]

SHANGRALAAAA17 I highly doubt your new truck no matter how you set it up will go farther or last longer in the snow and below 0 temperatures. This thing with the tracks is an animal. Ultimate snow vehicle right there.

[DudeWithaPage]

HA and they say blackpeoples tires cost more than their vehicle...

[prindivilleprestige]

great vid guys..You guys just gotta search "hummer h1 drives completely under water" One of the best on YT.. a must see for sure.

[stihl192t]

that thing is awesome but why does it have a spare tire???

[gawker8750]

It's simply adding a bit more weight to the rear axle.

[sitandswivelnow]

@gawker8750  how much do they reli cost????

[TonyMenda]

@gawker8750 it's because this is a normal tire truck, the mattracks were put just to drive in the snow

[bryce995]

@stihl192t you know in case he gets stuck

[HardCoreStrategy]

@bryce995 what wuld a tire help for if you get stuck? :D

[RubberDuckyMan1337]

This is incredible. The Pinzgauer, even in stock configuration, is easily one of the most capable off road vehicles ever.

But a Pinzgauer with Mattracks? The off-road doesn't stand a chance...

[caveabilly]

@RubberDuckyMan1337 and all made in austria ^^

[gawker8750]

Pinzgauers are the easiest vehicle in the world to work on! If you can work on a riding mower... you can work on a Pinzgauer. Parts are readily available on the internet too!

[pinzgauernorcal]

@gawker8750 yup

[joek0617]

@gawker8750 I know people that fail at regular lawnmowers

[lukaczmarek]

ciekawe po co mu koło zapasowe:)

[Cypisek86]

dla ozdoby :P

[Anon514]

those are so badass... theres a company near my old work (IPS) and they have these for some of their Chevy K4500 flatbed and tanker trucks

they use them for light duty in the oilpatch...seeing as regular trucks will get stuck if they attempt to go onto a rig lease in the spring...or into a farmers field to check on a wells or pipe lines.

[SHANGRALAAAA17]

32k???! thats retarded! i could buy a new truck!

[gawker8750]

That is the other most popular dimwit response. "I could buy a new truck for that" No kidding genius! This is a one of kind hybrid military variant... not an '09 Chevy. Like I said, most think that they cost 5K before they do any research.

[superchris09]

@SHANGRALAAAA17 A new truck could not go half the places this thing could. You're comparing apples to oranges.

[doccoffin]

What are you asking for the Mattracks?

[gawker8750]

They cost 32K new. I'm selling them slightly used for 28K. Most people think that they cost in the 5K range though!

[MrMuddawg]

that is awesome!! wanna sell it?!

[gawker8750]

Yes. But only the Mattracks. I want to keep the truck and put tires back on. If it means selling the Mattracks I would possibly consider selling the truck too. It rules!

[Bagabagab]

What is the spare tire for?

[gawker8750]

It's there for extra weight over the rear axle. I switch back and forth between the tracks and the tires a few times a year so it just stays there.

[nortonhouse5]

i gotta get me one of those!!

[shaun400cc]

wheel clamp that Worden.

[Vezi707]

lol why is there a tyre on the back, shouldnt there be another tread?

[lostinseganet]

Compared to the mattrack that is the dounut wheel ^u^.

[lindsay88j]

@Vezi707 that would be pointless, treads don't get punctures, and what does it use when it doesn't have treads?

[omgwtfbbqgtfo]

jeeps suck. they get bad gas mileage, are way too light for snowy roads, and they barely have any cargo space.

i'd take my lowered v6 s10 over a jeep any day lol. i'd rather crawl over a speed bump than take a jeep anywhere

[gawker8750]

I have a Jeep. It gets stuck AND breaks down a lot. It also has solid axles and leaf springs (like a stagecoach) and rides like one too. Oh yeah, it also doesn't cary much more than a cooler and also gets worse gas mileage.

Thanks for the brilliant tip though!

[thebucketmouse]

LOL +1

[chrisdjonestube]

that car will get stuck for sure. you should have bought a jeep.

[Mustang1204]

It's a Pinzgauer, those can go anywhere.

[herwigpaul]
