Mike they actually made that same rig as a retrofit for cars and trucks. 
I've seen pictures and videos of it.

"In January 1926, Time magazine reported: “Having used the motor car for
almost every other conceivable purpose, leading Detroit automobile
makers have now organized a company entitled "Snow Motors Inc.," to put
out a machine which will negotiate the deepest snowdrifts at six to
eight miles an hour. The new car will consist of a Ford tractor
power-plant mounted on two revolving cylinders instead of
wheels—something on the order of a steam roller."  Source: Wikipedia
