We only used 8WD in 2010 to allow us to cross the bump. We would not have used it this year if there had not been another obstacle to traverse.
It adds a non-trivial amount of work for us to make more wheels, bearing housings, much more involved side rails (something like 8 operations each this year, due to the size of our mill), as well as a third unique shaft for our sponsor to run. There is also a weight penalty.
