A combination of a marsh buggy is coupled with a modified skid steer. The skid steer has a frame, and hydraulic lines for attaching to hydraulic driven motors for driving a track or wheeled drive system. The skid steer further having an engine and a hydraulic system, including a pump and hydraulic tank, and valves; an operator's cab positioned on the frame, said operator's cab further comprising a set of hydraulic controls connectable to the hydraulic system for controlling the drive system and a hydraulically driven lift system, including two booms, each boom comprising a first arm and a second arm, the first arm being pivotably mounted to the frame, the second arm being telescopically coupled to the first arm by a hydraulic cylinder controllable from the operator's cab. The marsh buggy includes a first and a second floatable pontoons, the two pontoons coupled together in a parallel but offset relationship. Each pontoon has an endless track including a chain and treads coupled around the periphery of each respective pontoon, and a series of sprockets coupled to the chain on each pontoon; each sprocket connected to a hydraulic motor. The marsh buggy further has hydraulic motors and drive sprockets coupled to the hydraulic system for driving the endless track. The skid steer is mounted on the marsh buggy, between the two pontoons, and the hydraulic motors of the marsh buggy are operationally coupled to said hydraulic system of said skid steer so that said hydraulic controls in said cab are operationally connected to said hydraulic motors to control the drive system on the marsh buggy.
