Turning a dozer or a tank is easy because both tracks can be
independently driven at different speeds or direction. Snowblowers
don't have such sophistication. I think Hondas have the most
sophisticated drive trains with continuously variable speed
transmissions but even Honda's biggest tracked model (32" swath, $2959
MSRP, 260 pounds/118 kilos) doesn't have such niceties as independently
driven tracks. Consider turning this monster on dry pavement.
