Machine of many uses, Tucker Sno-Cat







The first Snow Motor Sleds produced by Tucker in the 1930s had a small market because snow covered areas were inaccessible except by snow shoe or skis. As the tucker models evolved from that first sled to the enclosed cab with rear tracks and skis on the front (first Tucker Sno-Cat) and then to the current trade mark design 4-track so the uses also evolved. The market has gone from snow survey and a little recreation to exploration, search and rescue, trail and slope grooming, survey, utility, military, research, private access, and many other uses brought about by the ability to move people over deep snow.I have added a few pics of older models and a current one.
