Re: Glorious mud
It was a bit daunting to take on the work when I bought her last year but it's paid off, . . I was climbing slopes that had her standing nearly on her bum today, . . she's got the usual transfer G/Box which gives me 10 forward an 2 reverse gears, . . in first gear in low reduction she just creeps along, this is good coz too much acceleration just causes the wheels to spin, digging yourself deeper into soft ground.On rough terrain you gotta keep your thumbs on the outside of the steering wheel 'else if you hit a rock the wheel can jerk quickly and break your thumb.
(just like in the Camel joke eh)
