Going down the street on dry pavement.... say on the way to the CWA parade.... and you mistakenly step on only one of the split break system and pull a full 180 at 20 miles an hours..... wooweeee!!!!

All farm tractors have split brakeing for the rear wheels which can make you spin in your own lentgh just like a tank which counter rotates the tracks .... real scary on my narrow front end 1950 Allis Chalmers.....

I can't see how the front wheels would steer much unlees the tires are soft... slow speed... on very sticky asphalt...

.... any idea of the cost of the film clip...

.... is anything similarly available in archives???? were all the protype and tests conducted in in Aussie land???

Seems to me I read somewhere that the Germans are recycled some left over Dunkirk UC tracks system on German trucks or even civvy model Chevs with some plywood cabs added for inclement weather..... or was that a Holleewood film????

Sure would like to know more how that odd ball was built.......
