I was told by an old tractor collector that they are also amphibous.

i can see that when they flip, but the way it was gliding along the snow, i would imagine the "barrels" are hollow so the buoyancy wouldnt be an issue, but the center of gravity would suck...

There are amphibious versions...

necessity is the mother of invention. I'm sure the russians have come up with some wild stuff to geet through the snow in Siberia.
