This is an interesting ATV. Not sure if it will be of any value to hunters, but it is interesting nonetheless. The website this comes from is a very interesting site.

its a great design. it would be great until you lost a track then to replace it would cost a fortune.

Neat ATV, I'd perfer a halftrack version thats alittle bigger myself so I can carry stuff on level ground, uphill, mud, snow or water. 
How stuff works is a great site if you want to learn about something if it has it it will explain it in detail, I've done a few project using it

Looks cool. Anyone remember the old Rokon 2wheel drive Motorcycles? Grew up with a guy that had one, amazing machines although heavy buggers.

Snowmobile technology has taken Track designs and durability to amazing levels. I doubt you would need a track very often with one of these.

Vince,
I think it is pretty awesome and would kill for one, but my wife would kill me if one showed up in our garage.

wow, never saw anything like that. 85 mph, one hell of an ATV. Why didn't they have stuff like that when I was young? second thought, good thing there wasn't, or I probably wouldn't be here. They sell those over there Vince?

You and me together mate. My missus would rip me a new "rear orifice" if I was to turn up with one.

hahahaha....you and me together mate. I can't even imagine how much fun I would have with one of these. Wish they did sell them here, but not yet. From what I read in the website I think it is still in the development stages. Be a real buzz though....85mph (136kph)...wow, awesome.
Cheers, Vince

I dunno Dallan, the steering system seems to make the track do an awful lot of extra work that snowmobiles don't demand. I've worked in bush camps in northern Manitoba and Saskatchewan and when a cat or a swamp buggy has anything go wrong with a track, you've got some serious cursing to do. Think I agree with crackshot on this thing. cStill have to admit it looks like big fun though.

Just buy one for your wife, then ask to borrow it.
My problem is that the wife always wants one (of what ever) also, so cost me double. Her ATV is bigger than mine.

If I bought one for my wife, I wouldn't see either of them again to ask to borrow it
