We have used the lowered center wheel "rocker" style in the past and I agree that it gave us very good pushing power, however, why would a "rocker" style 6WD inherently have more traction than a "level" wheel 6WD?

I am wondering if a "level" 6WD with omnis on only one end would be a good compromise?
