Abstract: A tracked load carrying vehicle comprises a chassis (10); an engine (11) mounted on the chassis for propelling the vehicle; an output shaft (13) driven by the engine; two tracks (14,15) provided in parallel on either side of the chassis and each one running over a plurality of wheels (16-19,20-23), at least one of which being adapted to be driven by the output shaft (13) of the engine for driving the track; and a control lever (60) for steering the vehicle. A clutch is connected between the output shaft (13) of the engine and each one of the tracks (14,15), so that either one of the tracks can be disengaged. The control lever (60) is adapted to actuate one or the other of the clutches by means of a linkage, so that the clutch interrupts the transmission to the pertaining track (14,15). These features will give the vehicle a small turning radius and good maneuverability. The vehicle can also be provided with braking means for braking the tracks.
