If you ever wondered how a Halftrack operates in muddy, mucky condition, take a look at this great European
video !!
Rescuing a GMC CCKW that is totally stuck in the mud !!

Re: Halftrack Mud Performance !!!
Not as muddy, but 80,000 lbs of tractor trailer, with his brakes locked..... He was just sitting and spinning on top of the wet muddy grass, this the Track came to the rescue.

Re: Halftrack Mud Performance !!!
this is my mate s M14 international halftrack pulling a truck at war and peace 2012 , he ran our of steam , at the end of the vid you can see the tracks
just spinning in the mud

i found in the mud they are pretty crap , and it just will not turn ( just goes straight on unless a very slight turn is made )
i came to the rescue with my M9 ( sorry about the quality i did not video it and it was 6 years ago )

Re: Halftrack Mud Performance !!!
Hello M9,
I would say that the half tracks are unsurpassed in mud operation, compared to trucks !!
The first halftrack did great but was hugely out weighted by the truck it was pulling through the mud, but did great,
then your track came to the rescue, and the two tracks teamed up and pulled that truck out of the muck !!!
Great video, and another highly impressive example of what a half track can do, ,
and that no normal tow truck could have even attempted to move that big truck !!!
Thanks for posting, you both have great looking halftracks !!!!!!!
Best Regards,
Ray

Re: Halftrack Mud Performance !!!
Hello Jeff,
That is a great video of a halftrack pulling that stuck semi out of the muddy area, at 80,000 lbs that was incredible !
just give the halftrack a place to get a grip, it can do the impossible
Thanks for posting !!!
