Hi,

I just came across this Honda HSS1170i snow blower. It is sort of like
the Honda 928TA but better. Has STEERABLE tracks which I noticed may
people wanting.

The downside is it is only available in Japan. And at current $US
rates it lists for $US 4,967.

It has a 13 HP engine and a 71 width. The way it makes it steerable is
that the motor actually generates electrical power. That power then
drives electrical motors to power the tracks. hence you can power each
track at different speeds. It will spin around on a dime with one
tarck going forward and the other in reverse.

Oh they have some very nice, and expensive toys over there.

Best, Mike.
