what in the actual hell is this

For huntin' moose bud, out back in the swamps and muskeg so deep it'd swallow yer pants let alone yer boots eh

Shootin them there moose ain't nothin eh - but then you gotta deal with 1500 pounds of deliciousness in potentia! Bejezzus me back ain't what it used to be eh, gotta reef on them ropes butt good eh. Now you just lash er' to your screw tractor and POOF! Bob's your mother's brother. Friggin rights.

Moose hunting is fun - although you then have to deal with 1500 pounds of delicious meat. My back isn't was is used to be. Ununderstandable Canadian, If you just lash it on to your screw tractor it would be easy to get home.

Is that an appropriate translation?

They're actually quite old. Used a lot for snow too.

Hollow screws float, tracks sink to the chassis

I'm guessing it's just lighter.

Hollow screws float, tracks sink to the chassis

That makes sense. A sealed screw would double as a flotation device.
