Reminds me of our old fence trucks. That thing was taking a beating.

There is also a lesson there about tire design - look at the mud he gets through on skinny tires compared to what gets our trucks stuck on modern wide tires.

Our trucks also wiegh in at close to 8000lbs, while that one may be 3500lbs at the most. Huge factor.

It truly is amazing how those tires and wheels offer than kind of traction. I understand they're reaching through to the hard pan underneath the muck but still.....those old style tires have very little tread.

I doubt that car weighed 3500 lbs. More like 2K lbs or less.
