aHEM.....I Believe you stated plainly that "And if you knew anything
about
driving you might know that a plowed street can be worse than
unplowed."


So now you're planning to backpedal and agree that it's the case with
many vehicles, but not Scotty's truck??
Oh, okay!!!!

Bwahahahahahahahaha! Mooron, you screwed the POOCH!


There was no back pedal in any statement I made Bobsprit. Loss of control is
higher in an unplowed road than a plowed road.... it's a simple fact.
Scotty's truck has a huge amount of traction due to a combination of area
and number of friction circles provided by the tires. If you combine this
with the weight of the tractor and load.... then add the multiple gear
options... it has a much larger margin before loss of control becomes an
issue.

Now Bobsprit... when it comes to a frictionless surface like glare ice....
I don't care if your "Tribeca" has 30" wheels and 8 wheel drive.... or a
14" layer of powder overlying it.... you ain't goin' nowhere if you don't
have friction=traction.

Understand? ... now run along and stop telling people that unplowed streets
are safer than plowed streets okay?

Sheesh
