    I noticed you have some rather bad weather in NA at the moment. Is something like this available on NA tractors (it can be used on all kind of trucks!):



    You can get it with other European trucks brands as well.

    actually sistem is developed here and made in USA, and available there as some kind of conversion there is video on YT with 2 hydraulically driven front axles

    it is usable, for many users but ,man was first on market with it, and their were no good, too sensitive and oil leaks , so people become bit scary of it and now sales figures drop significantly

    other manufacturers made it more seriously but man is lighter only 250kg , comparing to renault 500

    Then you don't understand what it's meant for. It is not meant as a permanent all wheel drive for an off-road truck, it is meant to be used by normal trucks when they are faced by very slippery conditions. For instance snow, black ice, or mud. If you can drive faster then 28 kph, then you don't need this system.

    Tams. Those are Greek Artillery arent they?

    Our rigs haul a Paladin SPG one at a time. You can also put a M1a2 MBT on there in war conditions if you have to. But prefer to have a civilian special heavy haul do it.

    Grass is green indicating liquids under the surface, He sunk. Then backed and forth trying to get out and deeper. His fault. What he should have done is shoveled out some cakes of concrete, dried it and tossed it under the drive wheels in hopes to get out.
