Looks like a mini snow groomer from the ski slopes!

It is a great machine. Especially stronger than your average lawn tractor, pick up, atv. Love to make one of my own.

Brilliant invention

Next step is to put an altenator on that engine (if it doesnt have one already), build a big cab for you, and fit small electric heater and a fan to keep you semi warm.
Amazing skills!

I like to fab, this was a very talented build

Absolutely amazing job. I saw a picture of your machine on a welding forum over a year ago and thought it was the coolest thing I had ever seen. I stumbled across your wooden mock-up while looking at homemade tracked vehicles. I watched the vids of the progress in awe and couldn't believe how great it was becoming. Not until I saw the frame for the wide plow did I realize it was the "Snowmobile Plow" I had seen before. Incredible work, you deserve an award of some sort.

Needs to be alittle higher off the ground then you can go through deeper snow. Other then that its an amazing rig great job, Engine upgrade more pushing power
The suspension has risers in it that actually keep it from moving at all. The reason is that when the blade is picked up, you need plenty of support in front to support the weight. Also, when the blade is all the way down, it raises the front of the tracks off the ground slightly, and with the shape, that allows it to rotate and still maintain good contact with the ground for good pushing power.

It serves a practical purpsoe of moving snow in a tight driveway that doesn't have much options. Does a better job than a pickup or atv plow, and doesn't tear up the asphalt the way a skidsteer would.
