That's a 1951 Ford Marmon-Herrington Snogo. Several members here own them.

I'd be scared if I actually saw that thing on the road near me. It looks like it is ready to eat anything in its path. Also, do I see a bed mounted hot tub on the back?

You'd probably be more likely to be slowly following along behind him. I suspect, though, there have been instances where one of these guys came upon a stranded snowbound car, without knowing it was in the road, and eat up a big chunk of the car's rear end. That'd be an expensive fix for both vehicles.

That is eggzactly what I was thinking. I drive Honda Civic as my commuter mobile, and I would hate to go against that truck on the highway.

Smile snow plowing
You talk about a snow blower coming upon a stranded car,you have to remember these go very slow,But they still do eat a car at times.I drover a Walters snow fighter for a NY town during the winter of 84 these had 4 wheel drive with a gear reduction on each wheel and a v plow with wings on both sides we would do both lanes of country roads at one time,You would have to move right along to get the snow to shoot off the plows and fly up over the snow banks.Think what it would do to a stranded car.

What does the big power unit on the back do other than add traction??? It looks like a generator or a compressor.

Later...

That's the inline 6 that powers the auger and blower. As I recall they are either Continental or International engines.
