    Video is 11 minutes long.

    This is a rare video of an invention that never went very far. Wait until you see the automobile version that is on here. 1926 Snow Tractor. Talk about ingenuity! This is a 1926 silent film (on video) of a tractor-snow-machine invented by Henry Ford, shown here driving it.

    You didn't watch the whole video. 3:24 in show soft snow.

    This machine is pretty amazing especially for its time.

    Keep in mind that at that time rubber was not quite a s good so there weren't tracks like today.
