I finally dug my books out, and here is a corrected update of the "MIRE" resistance factors. There isn't any real math involved, just these 3 basic "STAGES";

There are three stages:

1, "WHEEL DEPTH". Meaning sunk in the mud/terrain up to the hub, but not over the center. (Bellied out) Mire resistance for this stage would be "EQUAL TO THE WEIGHT OF THE VEHICLE, PLUS CARGO".

2, "FENDER DEPTH". Meaning sunk in the mud/terrain over the top of the hub, but not over the wheel wells. (That would be the AATV body directly above the highest point of the tires.) Mire resistance at this stage would be "EQUAL TO TWICE THE TOTAL WEIGHT OF THE VEHICLE, PLUS CARGO".

3."CAB DEPTH". Meaning you basically climbed out of the oporators seat and walked across the surface of what you got stuck in! Sunk so deep , but not taking in any mud/terrain/water from the highest point of the AATV. Mire resistance at this stage would be "EQUAL TO THREE TIMES THE TOTAL WEIGHT OF THE VEHICLE, PLUS CARGO".


I hope that clarifies things, and aids in any assistance one might need.
