No offense to these guys but would it have been easier pulling the back end out instead?

That's a big possibility with Heavy D.

What I found interesting is that's the first Bronco I've seen set up with tracks for snow. Tracks looked pretty well built. Steering with tracks is pretty big stress on system. They did not say if they upgraded the rack or other items.

Yes. Or just use the correct tool for the job, a snowmobile, and not get stuck.

many years ago the owner of matttrac claimed his son invented them drawing them on a napkin. He (at that time) pulled the post…..

They’ve been around since at least the 60’s

edit
He put it back up LOL

Very popular up north with farm/ag equipment and utvs in the back county especially hunters, I was going to get some from Soucy because of the tread pattern and material to keep my Kubota diesel from sinking in the wet sand again. Plus have been time tested by everyone including the military. Sourced some used ones in NH off a golf course but they wouldn't ship. At $1500+ea it gets pricey quick. If they're Soucy $35k? Other brands are cheaper, you get what you pay for.

I personally own the image (the original) although I think I lost it in the 2016 flood, and bought the photo at auction and it has the attached story and history with it. I think I bought the photo some time around 2003

definitely before the napkin

60s makes sense, the whole artic cold war was going on. Trying to stick nukes out in the Alaska wilderness.

Wow, that's really cool! Looks like that's at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds in MD hence the APG nomenclature on the door. They've definitely done some awesome vehicle testing for the military out there, and still do.
