1924 Armstead Snow Motors Company concept snow vehicle

It seems appropriate to post this tonight after removing 14" of snow from my driveway this evening. But Kenny sent me a forwarded email with a link to this unique screw drive snow tractor and it's just too cool not to share. Watch the entire video- it's worth your time.

I have to tell you- I'm impressed. This snow tractor really seems well thought out and realistic for winter use anywhere the snow gets deep, like in the Mid-West where I grew up. I might have suggested some chain covers and anti-intrusion fenders over the augers but otherwise the guy that designed it seemed to have it all figured out.

I'll bet I would have liked the guy that designed it.
