great video Mick :) . Isn't it great when engineers think 'out of the box' , because there is no box to start with :) . I sometimes envy the pioneers of mech eng who weren't constrained by certain expectations.

Wonder what happened to that corkscrew style design ? I assume it proved to wear the blades quicker than what we now consider a conventional track system

An amazingly simple yet brilliant concept. I think you should forward the link to Boris !

A great video and well spotted - does this mean that you are looking for a Porsche Tractor then Mick?
