ABSTRACT:
An articulating marsh buggy or vehicle in the form of an articulated amphibious vehicle incorporating a front and rear drive unit which are pivotally connected for relative angular movement about a generally vertical axis and oscillatable about a generally longitudinal axis. Each of the units includes a pair of pivotal floatable pontoons with each pontoon including a drive chain on which elongated cleats are transversely mounted. The drive chains are driven by independent hydraulic motors to enable the vehicle to move over various terrains and be propelled in marshy areas, bayous or water bodies by cleats on the driven chains on the pontoons.
