Re: Jeep/Stude/???
 

Probably pretty well as long as the rocks weren't too big, those things
were tough! (I know what kind of rocks some of you guys crawl over and
it's nucking futz <G>). I don't think the one in the video was but a lot
of Weasels were amphibious and could go cruising right over a lake or river.

Re: Jeep/Stude/???
 

Weasels are fun to drive. I got to spend an hour driving one in a dirt
field. Tracks were rubber cast over steel wire, most cracked and the wire
rusted out requiring some ingenuity to rebuild. Often heavy industrial drive
chains are bolted to the grousers.
I'm not sure how they would do on rocks, steel to granite doesn't sound too
tractiony. They have a low surface pressure as they were designed to invade
Germany from the North over snow. The FC cab is an improvement over the
canvas.
