A silent video of the 1926 Ford Snow Tractor. I'm told it is Henry Ford (in a suit and tie) shown driving it during the demonstrations.

I had never seen anything like this before. Actually pretty impressive.

Does anyone remember why Ford tractors were called Fordson?

That thing's neat!
With a little more work, it could have been made to go sideways.

I wonder if there is an even more modern version than the Russian one. I'm sure someone in the U.S. had to one up russia.

you could see the flaw in the design, when traveling side ways on an incline.
