    Very cool, you can even cut it once it's up and save the chain

    call me lazy but it needs a seat so you can sit and steer, avoid running yourself over that way.
    A couple other tweets and it would be a useful machine.

    Right where I want to be.
    My thought exactly. :dex:
    Modified rototiller is what it looks like.

    Definitely needs a pan seat. Something similar to an implement seat

    My thoughts as well. Heck even side saddle it! Most of us in North America have better options available. Looks like that is in Russia or Eastern Europe, where UTV or ATV is out of the range for a lot of rural folk.

    I like it!

    A Rusky version of the log arch... but not nearly as fast as many of us have seen walt ferry his across the landscape... :whistle:

    :thumbs:

    Pretty awesome! Much lower impact to your woods than an ATV with a hauling arch.

    It might be a 2 wheel tractor. I thought it was a BCS but it looks like its just the same color. They're versatile machines with different implements.

    I like this one a lot better! I was wondering why he had fenders on it and was thinking "how fast can a rig like that go?" When it was on the pavement, all questions were answered!

    And that guy sure knows how to load a trailer! :thumbs:

    We're hoping to get one of those. They're also from Russia. I talked with the dealer down in Biddeford last fall, and he said he'll get one set up to try, any time we want. Just about the time we were headed down, my truck needed $3500 work done on the main frame. Maine's salt covered roads really did a number on it. M'honey put the brakes on any "toys" real quick... ;)... Oh well... I bet a SnowDog will live here some day... :whistle:
