Hi all.
I have a question. I've had a couple of situations recently where I have two diagonal wheels off the ground in my landy. Which of course leads to no drive. This is usually on a rutted uphill surface.
Obviously difflocks would solve this. I was wondering though if the brakes can be used in the same way. I've never tried it, and maybe it's a well known technique, I don't know. But if I have two wheels off the ground can I hold the foot brake on to slow the spinning wheels and give me drive to the two with grip? I'm always in low ratio when this situation arises.
