poor 4x4 performance

[swinny]

Using my l200 to tow a 1.5t digger on a trailer accross a wet field... waste of time...

 

Had to take digger off and track along... l200 struggled but did go through field.

 

It only has normal steel wheels on with road tyres....

 

Is it worth investing in some better tyres? Will they really do much?

 

L200 so light on back end. Even had tools in back.

 

P1$$ poor performance

 

If its going to be rubbish its days may be numbered

As soon as you put a trailer behind any 4X4 its becomes worse than a 2 wheel drive.

If you've only got road tyres the grooves just fill up with mud just like on a car. Put some AT tyres on at least. Did you use low box and diff-lock?

Should of got a landy!! Only joking, I think anything would struggle towing 1.5 tonne in a wet field without mud tires, even with mud tires it would be hard.

Tyres will go a long way to help.... as will a little weight. Coupled with a little positive speed, oh and closed eyes I find helpful in certain situations.

Any trailer will act as a ground anchor.

I've got mud terrains on my ranger they do help a lot but it still doesn't compare to the land rover.

Had in low box but not in diff lock

 

I bought a 4x4 to get it right up to the job to make stuff easier.

Lock the duffs up makes a lot of difference
