'tis a bit wet down there

Folks used to have G wagon which had full diffs that allowed you to spin every wheel. Made little difference to getting out of a slippy situation.

 

Ah but your supposed to engage diff locks before you get stuck whilst you still have some momentum even if it is minimal.

True but so easy with hindsight to think how you would do things differently:001_smile:

Obviously I didn't explain myself very well, I've got one eye on the rugby! That sandringham probably didn't have locking diffs, not very good mud tyres, not much weight overall. 6 wheels can mean there's less weight on to each tyre than a standard 4 wheel. Perhaps the poster can confirm! Land rovers to be any good in wet conditions need to have after market locking diffs otherwise they can be pretty poor and an embarrassment

 

Tyres are good with new ones on the front

But you are spot on with rest of your comment, especially about the weight being spread at the rear.

It was just a demonstration to show that on a level grass field, no special off road course, that a six wheel drive Landie with five wheels turning can fail to progress to the surprise of many, except for the knowledgeable few on here!

 

PS Good job the rain held off until Saturday night for the Rugby!
