Abstract

A cross country vehicle for seismic exploration is provided wherein a first drive means, such as wheels can be conveniently interchanged, in the field, for a second drive means having a different configuration such as endless tracks. The interchange is enabled by use of a pre-existing lifting means associated with a seismic acoustic source.
