Re: 4WD Turning Difficulties
Joe,

Thanks for posting the video... The problem you had turning at about 15 seconds into the video reinforces a worry I have had... From what I could see, I believe it was caused by having a different COF for the right two wheels as compared to the left two wheels.

If you are using a 4WD (skid steer) and you get two wheels on the carpet at the field perimeter, you may never get back onto the main playing field...

Mike
