Collecting this at the weekend
So, I'm buying this
To avoid this!
Needless to say, I'm rather excited! This will be my first foray into the world of 4x4 and Land Rover

Don't be too surprised if the bottom pic changes to a Disco getting towed off the grass D3 57 xs Stornaway grey
D2 02 commercial silver gone but a great servant and won't be forgotten

Cheers All,
A Disco has got to be better than a RWD M Sport for coping with wet green stuff though
On that particular day the effin' BMW was so buried that the chassis was sat on the ground!

Might be a stupid thought but would snow chains work in mud??
I'll get my coat..
Although the tractor is probably only around 1&1/2 T, it'll be easier to tow it if the front wheels are straight, no wonder you were spinning the rears Altox GSM FBH controller thread

Not too sure on the answer to that one, my guess would be no! However, waffle boards or something like these Maxtrax would be a good start
