I have seen photos of it online before. First time seeing the video. That was COOL.

That's very cool ! 4.gif  I need something like that here in NB. 20.gif

In about an hour, I am about to go outside and snowblow my 220' driveway with a walk-behind snowblower.
It's -5*C and winds are 30-50 km/h :-[

How nice would it be using a Minitrack (with a plow or snowblower) instead ? 77.gif

30 minutes in a Mini is more therapeutic than 3 sessions at the shrink.

At the end of that video it looks like they have just what you need in that yellow Bombardier snow mover?
Complete failure at retirement - but getting better!

In the video he mentions that it appeared for sale in 2009 on "lespac" (which I think is a French classifieds website in Quebec, which is next door to me here in Canada.)

I guess my searching skills were not up to the task.  I went to the Internet "Wayback Machine" website and tried a couple different searches but came up empty.  Probably a French/English thing, as I have no idea what a Frenchman would call a "Mini Trac" en Francais.

Anyone have better search skills than I do?  I'd love to own it if it still exists and is not all rotted to heck.  Doing my driveway with this would be a HOOT !  About 12-13 yrs ago I used to plow my driveway with an old Dodge Shadow with a homemade plow I made from barrels and an electric linear actuator.  It was a real gas.  I mean, who does that? 

Plowing/well...snowblowing my driveway with a Mini would be over-the-top fun !
