Thanks for all the cool replies…  
To answer some questions-  
It has a top speed of 9.7 MPH. If someone wants to do the math we can figure out what it does in the 1/4. It will reach 9.7 MPH almost instantly, so acceleration to terminal velocity is almost negligible.

Yes, it has 2 flat tires… Look inside the tracks and you’ll see a row of rubber tires that the tracks revolve around. There is a drive sprocket at the rear of the track and the front tires are solid rubber. The rest are tubed and inflated with air. They’re not normal “car” tires. They are specifically made for this application.

Yes, this is a grooming machine. Many snowmobile clubs own and operate the same machine for trail grooming.

I can’t “up the boost” since it’s naturally aspirated. It’s powered by a 110 horse straight six Ford diesel, so I guess I could turbo it someday if need be.

It’s not home yet, I’m going with a friends trailer to get it next week. My trailer is a foot too narrow. Even with the tracks off it’s still just over 8 feet wide.

I am a motorboatin’ sonofabitch…ask my fiance

Sure do…it’s the first vehicle I ever owned and never plan on parting with it.
