Thank you Roland
A big thanks goes out to
Roland's scientific comment on my Tuesday post concerning our muddy
driveway and truck traction.
It helped in convincing Anna
that upgrading the back tires might increase traction without doing
further damage to the flood plain.
We got the truck free just
before sunset yesterday, and woke up early to visit our local tire
store and manure pile.
The next size up in tire and
traction cost us about 180 dollars. What also helped was moving the old
back tires to the front. This will help control the steering more,
which I think was a factor in driving out of the rut the last time it
got stuck.

If you want to lower the tire pressure when on the floodplane, don't forget to re-inflate then before you go onto the road!
