  • So I got to thinking

    While out today practicing my driving skills and getting hung up in the deep snow, I got to thinking of a better design, you know how the machines rides up onto the snow and gets stuck with the wheels spinning, Well wouldn't it be better instead of having a flat bottom with large surface area, the bottom of 6 & 8 wheelers had some kind of keel like a boat that would cut through the snow.
    It would probably help in the water too.
    Anyway was just thinking.

    It would be pointless. Tracks are the only way to go.

      I've been watching a lot of videos and see a lot of 6x6 and 8x8's getting hung up on the middle between the tires/tracks and was wondering if just having a decent fixed air tank that you could dump air down in that area to help break away from whats hanging the machine up.Even a short blast seems like it would help enough to let the tires/tracks take it from there.

      Not really practical having an onboard air compressor with a tank big enough to rapidly dump enough air to break the mud suction from under the machine but it was just a thought.
