[QUOTE="Two Tone, post: 6516096, member: 44728"] Whether he had hills or not isn’t the relevant point. What he did have that year (2012) was a lot of very wet patches in fields on which his Combine would get stuck travelling forwards - the only way to get out was going backwards in for wheel drive - the rear wheels treads being correct to self clean while doing so. There were reports that year of Combines, particularly Claas Lexions on tracks, becoming twisted while being pulled out backwards, having become bogged - that’s how wet it was! We even heard of one, having to be recovered by a Chinook helicopter. Standard rear wheels would create a rut, making it impossible to steer when trying to back out of a boggy area. That is why he only used his four wheel drive to get out. Very clever! [/QUOTE]
