Polaris was founded in 1954 by some partners and employees of Hetteen Hoist and Derrick Shop who wanted to create a vehicle capable of traveling through snow. Two years later, their first production snowmobile was released – called the Sno Traveler. A few years later, management decided that they could diversify a bit so they built the Trail Tractor.

I’ve seen conflicting sources online about what engine was in this, but the above period ad shows a 3.5 horsepower Tecumseh motor with a recoil starter. Apparently, this scoot could hit 15 miles per hour. The front box was for luggage and to store a rifle, and there was an option for a passenger seat, which this bike has.
The seller of this bike says only two were made, which is clearly not true. He/she also can’t be bothered to make it clear if this runs or not. But it’s definitely rare, and it’d make one fun pit bike! Find this Trail Tractor for sale in Lempster, New Hampshire with an unmet opening bid of $2,200
