The 6x6

The Edge Products - 6x6

A go anywhere machine...

The ultimate go anywhere machine, all six wheels driven, skid steer, floats & swims in water, fully sealed & goes where you can't walk!!! Suitable motors: 500cc - 1000cc bike.

Get to those hard to reach areas....

The machine for the adventurous at heart. The go-anywhere vehicle that takes you to those hard to get to areas that used to take days of hard bush-walking to reach.

It's also amphibious...

All six wheels are driven to give maximum traction in places even a four wheel drive won’t go. Not only is it six wheel drive but it is also amphibious. The Six Wheel Drive floats and swims across swamps, streams, dams and rivers.

Simple to build...

A simple machine to build using a motorcycle motor for power, a car differential for splitting the drive and chains to all six wheels.

Farmer, fisherman, hunter or prospector..?

An ideal machine for exploring the outback, a practical work vehicle for the farm, for the keen fisherman or the adventurous prospector, the Six Wheel Drive will take you where you can’t walk.
