Have you ever bucked hay by yourself?

Put it in 4Low and the truck tkes the place of a payed man in the field.
getting in and out of cattle lots on some farms that I haul for ; some times reqires a tractor and 4wd.
Also have you ever had a 2wd dually in sandy soil?
W/o 4wd the front end will slide and then the rear power hops and your are stuck.


I use mine atleast once a week for 15-20 min.s

I know exactly what you're talking about. Get off the gravel into the clay in 4x2 and u are'nt going anywhere. Learned my lesson long ago! Besides when you're up in the Cascades off road and your main driveshaft splits, u still have the front to get u out!

In Canada you need it for the winter time for traction when you have to pull others out of the ditch and to do really tight dougnuts!
