Finland has thousands of lakes and, in the wintertime, we make roads on the ice by cleaning the snow to replace ferry connections," says one of the company's designers. "Our innovation will increase safety because if the ice breaks, the tractor will float." In addition, many farmers have fields on several sides of rivers and small bodies of water. No need for bridges and so on.
Should have treads that can pop up to make them catch more water, or a propeller in PTO, but I can’t figure out what use it would be good for other than crops that are harvested in swampy conditions. But the tread design can’t be to harsh otherwise just really wet field it would do more harm than good. Impressive but I really don’t want to spend 100,000s of dollars just to cross my farm pond.
Should have had a bush hog on it went to the other side and mowed the grass that would have been impressive anything will float if you got enough flotation
Well, you've seen that they have tires to float a tractor, now someone needs to built a PTO powered gearbox with a propeller on it so the thing can move in the water better.
Not sure what it’s for since a tractor gets most of its pulling power from its weight sticking it to the ground. That’s the way it applies similar horse power to a high performance race car in a different way!
Here's the answer to everyone's question....It is not that it goes thru water, but that it can. If the tractor can do that in a pond, think how well it will do in a muddy field.
The only use I see for this is if a farmer had plots separated by water, this thing could ford the water. Otherwise you might have to drive for miles to get to the other field

But why? What is the reason? You have amfibic vehicles that are much more suitable to operate in channels and wet areas. All the shaft sealings will be challenged with this meeting with water/sea water.
