Combination construction of wheels and tracks
Kurt Kretzner wanted to build a tracked wagon that was easy to control. Therefore he did not opt for chain steering on all axles like on a bulldozer, but for half-track (only on the drive axles) and almost normal, albeit double, front-wheel steering. “The new, ideal, easy-to-use caterpillar vehicle with which you can master any difficult terrain safely and comfortably. You can drive on snow, sand, stones, alpine meadows, moors, small streams and forests with this device,” the designer advertised his snow groomer.
