Abstract: This torque compensating track drive is designed to provide track drive vehicles with an undercarriage that distributes the weight of the vehicle over the greatest possible area and also ensures that as much of the drive track is in contact with the surface as possible in all driving situations.
Abstract: This actuated ski suspension provides a method of raising and lowering a vehicle to which it is attached by raising and lowering the ski assembly in a vertical plane. Additionally, the process of raising and lowering the vehicle also incorporates a mechanism which effectively breaks frozen skis loose from the surface of snow or ice without causing damage to the skis and without requiring effort from the operator.
