[AT] Plowing in Ohio/Long

[Al Jones]

Charlie, I have seen our Super A do that spin the left, then spin the
right wheel in rapid succession thing too.  I assumed it was something
to do with how the differential works.  Couldn't even begin to explain
it.

People not from our area often assume sandy soil is the easiest pulling
stuff in the world....if they only knew! ;)

Len I always figured it might just  be some fluke oscillation as you put
it. 
However it did happen more than once and not always when pulling a plow.
I 
agree a differential lock would have been nice.

I'm familiar with the "wheelie" feature as well!
