Their theory is getting across wet ground. ie chiseled fields, moderate swamp ground, peat ground, etc
That and they got a FEMA grant for it so they needed to spend a certain amount of money.
BTW - It isn't that great. They have planted it more than once and like I say, a bunch of other problems.

Yes I do. Those tracks on a truck are retarded. Lift it and put some big swampers on it and do better for much less. That is the stupidest chit I have seen in a while. Do I need to repost the pic? Can't drive on the road and throws tracks??? Bet it turns like a dream too. Give me a break. POS.
