Actually, increasing the weight on the carriage and decreasing net pulling force is not a bad idea to improve traction when you are stuck in mud. When a car us stuck in mud, the general advice would be to use 2nd gear instead of fist and fill up the back seats. Corporate solution is not bad for a change!
I've always gotten a kick out of people that clearly spend a lot of time working on being non-conformist, by conforming with a smaller group.
Good point, well made.Ironically, that is a very 'management' like explanation; confidently applying a solution that works in a completely different situation and expecting the same outcome in this one.
The weight over the wheels works with a car because the wheels are driving the car and you want traction. In this situation added traction on the wheels is a negative, as is increased weight; which would not only add an increased load to pull but also push the wheels into the mud more. The drive hooves are on dry ground and only need enough force to break the wheels free from the sticky mud.
When I went to art college, it was an older student, I was 24, I think, whereas many of my classmates were in there late teens. For the first few weeks they all dressed quite normally, however they obviously all got a memo, which I didn't, and all went out and bought their "art student uniform", and thereafter they would wear the selection of random crap they'd bought in the local charity shops.I've always gotten a kick out of people that clearly spend a lot of time working on being non-conformist, by conforming with a smaller group.
It also assumes rear wheel drive and possibly a stick shiftIronically, that is a very 'management' like explanation; confidently applying a solution that works in a completely different situation and expecting the same outcome in this one.
