Abstract
An improved tracked vehicle that allows a substantial increase in a driven area supporting a vehicle without any proportional increase in weight of the vehicle itself. The vehicle can be driven over soft snow and mud so as to cause no damage to the terrain. The vehicle can be amphibious and can be highly maneuverable and capable of passing over different types of obstacles in its path. It can move at reasonable speed over sand, mud and swamp. The vehicle has special tracks and a T-bar assembly which keeps tension on the tracks at all times. The vehicle also has resilient finger-type grousers bolted to the tracks of the vehicle.
