ABSTRACT:
An all-terrain vehicle driven by endless propulsion tracks. The wheels are sufficiently bouyant to maintain the upper section of the endless track above the water line when the vehicle is fully loaded. A series of generally linear cleat segments project from the outer surface of the endless track and extend substantially across the width of the track. The cleat segments are arranged in a zig-zag pattern about the length of the endless track in order to provide a combination of forward and lateral thrust components as the endless track is rotated about the wheels. The generally longitudinal character of the cleat pattern reduces the chance of mud and loose soil being carried on the cleats to the top portion of the endless track.
