That's pretty cool. It's really not surprising to see stuff like that. The Rover really isn't pulling much weight, just acting as another set of drive axles for the truck. It's just providing a little extra forward momentum the truck can't generate on its own. If the truck had been tandem drive axles it could have made it unassisted. Never the less, that's still impressive to see.

AK,
That is why you need to buy another Disco, you would be a Hero up there in the cold country.

Trucker got stuck last year and couldn't lock his axles together. He was totally blocking the road trying to get to the shop across the street. He was loaded with shingles, but they had unloaded 1/2 of them and he was trying to turn around and got stuck in the road. Long story short, I hooked a chain on the trailer and pulled him up the hill. I didn't do a whole lot, just gave him a little tug, but it was enough to get him going. Everyone watching was really impressed a little Land Rover could make a difference on a huge semi.
