Four independently mounted sets of tracks, one at each corner, each on its own pontoon and each steering — the layout that separates a Tucker from every other truck-sized snow vehicle.

The record
E. M. Tucker Sr founded the company at Medford, Oregon in 1942 after growing up fighting through southern Oregon snow and spending the 1930s working out how to cross it. The first production Sno-Cats came just after the war, the Sno-Cat name was trademarked in 1946 — which is where the word snowcat comes from — and the independent four-track layout was standardised by the late 1940s. The model numbers run 222 Kitten, 322, 323, 342, 443 and the 500 series. Tucker is the oldest successful maker of snow vehicles in the world and is still run by the founder's family.
Research status: draft — identification, dates or figures could not all be pinned down; the summary says what is unresolved.
Catalogue fields describe the vehicle's structure and body as this registry records it. They are not certified factory measurements, and no performance figures are published here.
