We had another dump of snow last night, then frost so i was out again early this morning to clear the gate of the park .. Not so easy to do the drive through arable area with the Yak in the way!!

Lovin the Alvis, my other toys are all easier hidden

To be honest, i have no idea, it is pretty heavy though

Fitted the 3pt linkage back on today, then delivered the mog and a 10' plough blade to our local blacksmith to get mated

37" Maxxis Creepy Crawlers on beadlocked rims

I must admit it was a hard choice to make, the Mog wil be for my team's use to clear snow when required and get used as a fencing truck for the rest of the time so I will get more than my fair share of it! I'll also be in charge of it's disposal as and when it needs re-homed

Craig, its not like a normal torque converter. I am used to driving a large selection of plant and road going vehicles, there is a standard 4 speed manual shift with a second 2 speed and reverse lever. My understanding is that there is a viscous coupling/torque multiplier set up within the clutch designed for heavy low speed towing... beyond that I have limited knowledge of how it is set up. I did get warned that it can get interesting on steep down hills as you cant rely on the engine braking and need to use the brakes to compensate. although I have found that with similar set up machines a light use of the throttle (enough to keep up the drive) and braking works best.

We don't have any long steep sections at the park so not really an issue
