I saw the half track and I was like cool. Then I saw the truck it was pulling out and I said holy s@$t that's a big truck and the half track pulled it like it was a little car
@pfleeger2010 A number of them did. Mostly American models and some earlier design's but it was more common for them not to. German models did not nor did Citroen Kegrese. one of the main reasons is figuring out the front and rear axle ratio's because they are vastly different.
That's a nice fuckin' semi man! Crazy it was really stuck on that. I guess I can see how; grass is the slipperiest shit when it's wet. Good thing they just happened to have a halftrack sitting around! LOL. Whatever happened to halftracks, anyway? I'd like to see a halftrack Humvee; that would be badass. What kind of engine does that thing have? They still used gas in WWII, right? A big ol' gas-guzzler V8? Or a straight-6? I once saw an old hook+ladder with a HUGE gasoline inline-6 in it.
@justforever96 Dude They have a inline 6 that is barelly close to 180hp. THey only wiegh around 17k lbs, awesome huh? I forgot what their tow rating is but you can see it's pretty high. Damn I want a halftrack, I need ta buy one or build one.
@JaxRhapsody Yeah, and it probably was twice the displacement of, say, a Jeep 4.0L inline-six for less power! Engine tech has come a long way. A WWII-era flatfender Willys jeep had less than 60hp from a 139ci four-banger. My moms VOLVO has an inline-5 that rates 208hp! But it's all about the gearing. A Sherman tank only had like 400hp, or less. A large-ish modern farm tractor is usually no more than 100hp. Gear it low, and you can pull a lot with little power...you just go very slowly! =)
very cool like a small bull dozer

That thing was used a lot, but we got pulled out by the old Walter 4X4. It did a great job as well!
