Extreme Hagglunds - Track Building

See how Bill Feeley builds custom tracks for his Extreme Hagglunds all-terrain, amphibious vehicles!

[@peterpaul7267]

Why are people hating on this guy so much? He made that himself. I guarantee non of you keyboard warriors can do that... Cool stuff man!

[@kingrev24]

No he didn't, the clue's in the name "Hagglund!" All he did was put a new body on it, impressive, but NOT a huge feat of design/engineering/innovation!

@@jennydiazvigneault5548 I have a small penis, but I'm not jealous. I know how to use it. LOL they are too skinny. Easy to get tippy. I hate tippy!!!!!!!!!! Fucking rugged as hell though man. I would say it was a very fine job!!!!!!!

Damn that's cool! Unbelievable how he goes right through the river up to the wheel wells and keeps right on going.

[@LogisDavoth]

Can't believe that linkage held on the drop down the bank, very good job, you ran it ragged for a true endurance test and it really stood on both feet all the way.

[@IlluminatedWhiteGuy]

AMAZING TRACKS! That's a nice shop setup too... Great video!

[@c-martz2846]

Pure example how traction is a greater necessity than horse power. It’s all about the tracks baby! Great job there sir and now let’s put some on load on that bed.

[@IfItDontAplyLetItFly]

I love how the engine belt is squeaking and slipping for dear life at the end.

[@envitech02]

Excellent traction from the tracks. This should tame the wildest winters nature can throw.

[@Dirtmonkey]

Great Video- Love to see how these things come to life.

[@archieanderson2945]

why would people hate this guy He built this custom snow machine that is very kool and functions as intended or even better. I would love a truck like this. a go anywhere truck. Great job on a very innovative idea and its articulated.

Ya' gotta' love how they just omit showing how he got out of the water! Yeah - just go on to the next scene when he's all clear and ready to go again!!!

Now that was very interesting a whole new steering system and looked like a hydraulic rear unit drive very innovative.

I'm seriously impressed.

Every Search 'n' Rescue Dept. should have a vehicle like that..... Love it. Thanx for the video.

Reminds me of the Gamma Goats we had in the Marine Corps.

[@leisergeist]

Now that's something you don't see every day, that's pretty awesome.

[@Grumpy_old_Boot]

Very nice video, and nice vehicle. :) I've tried both metal tracks and pure rubber tracks, and I have to say, if I was to make tracked vehicle today, I'd go with pure rubber with a mighty aggressive pattern on the track, they just perform better in rocky terrain and on asphalt.

[@spudnikholyghostroller7314]

That is impressive going up very steep hills that are covered with snow and ice and then going through that creek with ice that is very impressive you've came up with a very good product for the market.

[@krazyshady902]

Nice job on the creek, nice to see you give a damn about the environment

[@indysled5001321]

shoulda staggard the stud patter so they didnt slip in the grooves they made in the ice trying to get out make the patter so that every stud has its own path if they you spin

[@privacymatters3171]

I should of put this in my first comment, Some Serious engineering went into this. Serious props to the old boy, hes a smart cookie.

[@FinalVertex]

why you cut out part where he stuck last time? didn't want to show how he was pulled out?

[@marshallcollins8634]

It is amazing how smart some people are. To all the keyboard know it alls I would like to see a video of you accomplishments. Thanks for the video.

Very impressive and they look great... awesome. Great job and meticulous detail.

Hell yah Big Sky Country!!!

[@mmanut]

Bad ass machine. I agree, a wider wheel base would make it much more stable and more effective in all conditions. Great design.

[@jimbass7867]

I would really liked to have seen how he got out of his "stuck" conditions - cutting the vid at the tight spots is not good. What happened? Did you call in a wrecker or did he get out himself?

[@Chipwhitley274]

You must be referring to the one and only instance where it didn't show it making it out on its own?

[@aweetster]

Shut up

[@David-pk9be]

Yeah, that one and ony instance where as far as viewers know, a proper jeep pulled it out.

[@michaelbrown2992]

triple A plus in performance,and it looks great in appearance.

why doesnt the forklift have any tracks?

So first off badass second the design is beyond flawless it looks like it's straight from a factory you guys should present this design to Chevy you could possibly make big bucks

thats cool when u get stuck u just edit the video

[@gunlover1955]

Stuck means you need help to get out just backing up and taking a new line is not stuck>

[@TheThorgoesinya]

To many cuts in the video when things got hairy

[@Wycked304]

Agreed

[@korryclarke3231]

There was a Jeep was pulling them out thats kind of embarrassing.

[@Chipwhitley274]

5:50 - 7:00 had cuts, likely because it took a bit of work, but it still got out on it's own. It was just a matter of backing up and trying again. I'd consider that the hairiest moment. Of course any vehicle no matter how capable, can get in a spot that was too much for it... We saw it get out of the above, we also saw it climb extremely steep terrain anything else would have slid down, it did anything one could hope to get out of with any other vehicle. If there were things it needed assistance with... those were scenarios that wouldn't normally be attempted, except in the case of testing limits, like these guys were doing. In an actual critical situation they would not deliberately try and tackle even more difficult situations they could avoid or go around. Lastly, everyone claiming that there were cuts whenever it got stuck... there was only _one_ instance towards the end that didn't actually show it get out on its own accord... All those cuts seemed to be about cutting out the fat, the vehicle may have had to take more time than we'd like and all the backing up and trying again is boring to watch, but the point is that almost every time it succeeded.

[@marq666]

Totally agree. Every time it gets tough the video cuts away. Wtf? Better off with 4x4 and a winch. Looks award and slow

[@David-pk9be]

Edited, a jeep pulled them out

[@gregwheaten8724]

you are a fkg genius!! Love your work!! you should be designing exploration vehicles for NASA!!! One of the best things I've ever seen on youtube!!

[@joeracer302]

@9:00, you need an ARB air locker ;)

[@byungsunan2300]

ㅛㅛ

[@dreded7961]

lockers would probably cause a lot of things to start breaking...with this much traction he is probably better off having some slippage

[@funiwant]

Dreded that's why you have a ARB locker, they can be switched.

[@thead10]

A locked diff wont work

[@tsar-bomba2413]

This looks like a lot of work, great job!

[@jacobhedahl7303]

how are you getting power to the rear end with that much flex in between?

I feel sorry for that rear drive shaft

[@stevenlillo221]

I was thinking the same thing

[@frankmichaud9291]

No driveshaft. hydrostatic drive, I've ridden in this, it's the real deal, never seen it stuck! Front and rear tracks are powered.

[@Mellosaxsexy]

it seems very fragile to me

[@DiDe273]

Built for traction. not jump...

[@heavystarch100]

Mellosaxsexy too narrow

[@edlingja1]

Not too narrow, but narrow enough it could be offset some ways even like 3" would be alot. The tracks are honestly too long for high speed travel, I'd say it's best used with detroit diesel for towing. It could also be hydraulic, like a tractor, so there's that as well.

[@wescollins7331]

You need to get a locker in that front end. That's the only thing I could see that slowed it up! Nice build!

Breathtakingly fun ... WOW🙏🏼🏁

[@denniswebb7068]

I like it he had few bad spots when came coming out the water onto ice but worked good. At least he put individual suspension on his boggy wheels that made for better traction and ride only thing I saw that would become issues later is having the drive sprocket out front that puts lots of shock to it n will cause damage. That's why low track dozers, excavators, tanks have them to back. If he could jack up the framework n make the tracks on a high drive system extended the tracks forward some or make like the wedge style see on some new units. That also make truck higher out the water n keep interior drier.

Oh my god. I want one of these SO bad! Would be epic an epic adventure in the Norwegian mountainsides!
