I never had the chance to use one, but I like the ide of a dog-powered travel unit better.
Paul, it travels in the direction of the smooth wheels, that thing tethered to the front is to detect weak ice and crevasses before the vehicle approaches them.

Your right about the front wheels though, they do look like they'd slip around, I bet the rear treads are used for steering.
