That's awesome. For that day that must have seemed ridiculous. Thing really cruises right along. Practically does donuts :hick: The whole thing looks like something I'd expect to see in a DIY backyard youtube video. And of course....GIMMEGIMMEGIMME

I was sold before it even pulled anything. Then the car.... I want one. I wonder what those drums are made of, they look heavy. Could you imagine if on of those chains popped loose on the tractor and hit you.

That's cool as Hell... Here I am a old fart and have never seen one...

Carm, you could use one of those... Prob wouldn't be too hard to make a small version from a rider mower and some old water heater tanks...

We could have used that thing after the py Ice & Snow storm came thru our area last week. It floats like 1 of those Fan boats they use down in the Everglades of Florida. Pretty cool !!! :poke:

when the guy turns when he was in the grass, it almost looked fake.

someone should make a small version of this, like oxygen tank size. put some 2 stroke weedeater motors on them. then mount them on a snowmobile. or to prove the theory.. a trashcan lid. :D

With an old rider lawnmower, another 100# propane tank, and some various other parts, I could get it done. Maybe I'll put it on the list for 2019. :D
