Haspin mud is the slickest stuff known to man. Pretty sure it's where Teflon came from. Clay sand mix that sticks like glue, slips like grease.
Just driving the main trail in a Deuce and half, you can get stuck on any hill, and standing up is a chore...
After a day of sun...
There is dry haspin. At this point, the mud turns to a sandy concrete, that allows you to climb insane hills. Still plenty of mud holes on the trails.
We went back and parked the tractors for a day, and did some maintence. Had one tranny I finally just replaced, it has been a problem tranny for a while. Cleaned and adjusted brakes. Had to clean up the Banshee's carb, just installed an engine that had been sitting 10 years, before we left.
Dan's rig had a steel pulley split in half. Since I didn't have a spare, we welded it back together. Then he had some belt/clutch issues, still have a slight issue with them, but it's running and reliable.
One tractor died, jacob's green hornet, rear engine. Engine started acting up again, time to replace it. All 4 other tractors came back running.
The pull starts saved our bacon many times. Nice not having to worry about the batteries or starters.
Something I'd like to say about TRB's mast on his tractor for the GoPro. I think it would be better if it was up higher like more of an overhead shot than behind like your cameraman was riding in a trailer. Then you can see more "up front" and less of the rear end. But, you can do whatever you want to, that was just my $.02

Not helmet view, but I hope chest harness is good enough for ya, Ang...
Much more betterer!
Too much vibration from the mast mounted one.
Looks like a LOT of fun!
Yeah I like the chest better than the helmet and the mast. Much less shaky. Although you can't see the stuff that he is looking at, but you gotta give a little and take a little. LOL
