Turning a dozer or a tank is easy because both tracks can be 
independently driven at different speeds or direction.  Snowblowers 
don't have such sophistication.  I think Hondas have the most 
sophisticated drive trains with continuously variable speed 
transmissions but even Honda's biggest tracked model (32" swath, $2959 
MSRP, 260 pounds/118 kilos) doesn't have such niceties as independently 
driven tracks.  Consider turning this monster on dry pavement.
