Could this be the first Snokat?

That was COOL! I watched the whole thing....I was memorized by that thing! Thanks for sharing.

that is one crazy invention that maybe was ahead of it's time. I though it was cool too that they where comparing the motor to horses for work or transportation! What a different era.

On the flip side the whole time I was thinking, The poor soul that falls off onto that drum proabably wouldn't want to live to tell about it. Even getting off, a slip could prove horrific!

That's just cool. I like that. Old, cool, and ahead of its time. Thats neat.

That thing is pretty cool. It seems to be all over the net in the last few days. This is the third link I have seen to that video.

That was the coolest thing I've seen in a long time...

Makes ya wonder why we haven't seen them produced on a large scale...
Even with the obvious safety issue of having the auger things exposed, which could have been easily fixed with attachable fenders...
I can think of hundreds of applications where the Fordson Motor would have been the better technology.
I'm sure that someone bought the patent so they wouldn't be mass produced...

I bet that it would have made a great mudder too...

Sweet. That thing is awesome....I agree, why have we not seen these things working across the nation? Man, the applications are unlimited.

Good post! Thanks.

That Russian military one is pretty awesome too FBF...

[wordforge]

this thing is pretty freakin' sweet. I've got a project bump that I haven't started yet. Maybe this could be a cool mod?


BTW that russian one with the resident evil music...super creepy.
