Got stuck in the paddock in deceptive mud [emoji33] (the thin like ice slippery stuff!!) Horsefloat and slope go well together [emoji51] These tyres do not handle mud as well as the proper Bridgestone ones did [emoji28] Took an hour to get car and float out with dads tractor providing some movement and an anchor for when slid sideways. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...90141b0f19.jpg
Did you try drop pressures first?Quote:

Bbut drop the pressure and they did surprisingly well for an all terrain! I just hated them coz they got punctures too easily.
A poor tradesperson always blames their tools. :tease:Quote:

Higher pressure cuts easier, but once it’s filled the voids only RPM will clear the tread [emoji41]

Yes I have never put tyres down for mud (only sand) not sure if that's the done way but always seemed to go ok even on my mower haha
I tried that too Tombie [emoji1787]just made me mud skate down the slope faster

Most physical job so far but straight forward with the right tools.

Started engine to back out of driveway & power steering pump noisy. No noises previously. Cursory inspection reveals fluid leak in I suspect return line, as fluid is gathering on top of reservoir.
Bugger, back to Public transport and potential exposure to Covid until repaired. Will attempt to have new line fabricated.
Will again have to pressure wash concrete & remove stain
