daniel,
yes that would be land tamer ( find in route 6x6 links )
they are by far the biggest and i think thair a very good design.
it seems to be the one if you want a lot of room and a car engine.
the super cat can go a lot faster but it is british cost 90.thousand (roughtly) but it has car steering as well as 6x6 sticktype steering
on thetyre subject don't go for 1 with bigger than 26" unless you want to climb walls.
remember that only the bottom half comes in contact with the ground so the larger the tyre the more hight the 6x6 and it's just extra weight for bigger rims and rubber
you want as less weight as possable for mudding.
see ya shane |

there is olso a co. that makes full size excavetors in usa that float.
they make a floating tracked 4 person transport
will find the address some time and post here.
they have one 7 metres ( 20 feet ) long
and 2.5 m ( 8 or 9 feet ) wide
it floats because of aluminium tracks instead of steel and has foam pontoons.
this thing is huge and it floats so well that
they have a excavetor photo with it in swamp extending the arm all the way out to dig, and it doesn't tip over.

Shane, I found the site. It is http://www.wilcomarshbuggies.com/aboutus.html and it is the amphibious excavator site. I found it through a search in Altavista.com and put in Amphibious Excavator as my search. It was the first one to come up. |

hey daniel :)
hope you like the wilcomarshbuggies site ,
personallyi prefer wheels than tracks,depends where you live.
thanks daved k for finding it , i have it at home in a pile of route6x6 printouts so it would of taken time to find.
i also found another site called "kori amphibious equipment" it's
http://www.koribuilt.com/pontoon_buggy.html
it looks like you can have them made to your specs e,g, size long, wide and they come apart for transport if you want one too big for a trailer.
or you could make one using this idea. |

daniel,
also have you seen the amphibitruck in the r6x6 links manufacturers.
this is more like a 6x6 like hydro traxx.
but you could repair the body easier if you break it.
and it has a form of suspension, and isn't that what we all want.

daniel,
go for it, keep us posted , but rember it's not as easy as it seems,
i'm building one myself, the only thing holding me back is money but i plan to have it done in a year to yearand a half.
there are many things to consider,
the alignment of axles etc, frame strength ( more strength = more weight,
wheel size, and spacing, no# of wheels, suspension or not, sprung seat, engine power torque, drive line .
