If nothing else, this could be a great farm utility vehicle, if not as practical as a 4x4 ATV.

That would be just the ticket to tow behind the Volkswagen Kübelwagen.

I always wanted one!

Ever watch the anime that featured one? "Girl's Last Tour"

More a modified Snow Machine than Kettenkrad, but this would seem to be it's modern descendant.

Seems like a cool toy but looks like a mechanical a-hole and I can't figure out a practical use for one.

There are better utilitarian vehicles for mud and snow, which seemed to be the purpose the Germans used the kettenkrad for.

I need one of these for the supermarket parking lot.

Put wheels instead of skis on a snowmobile and you would have something similar but probably easier to drive.
