Thanks--both possibilities make sense although I suppose it's a little 
more likely that it at least started out for some agricultural use 
rather than swamp buggy duty.  Sure would turn some heads among the 
local ATV crowd, though.  Be interesting to drive it, with those 
gigantic tires spreading out toward the horizon all around you.  Wonder 
how tight it can turn?
