You just never know where armor will pop up. This is from one of my tractor forums that I read (tanks, old tractors, and my wife are my major hobbies Laughing

)

The Aberdeen report makes for interesting reading. JD Tank

My first thought was going to be front-end castor. As a youngster, I operated many a John Deere and I-H Farmall (and the occasional Ford, not to mention more than one mule) and the difference in the wide vs. narrow track in stability is huge, especially if you consider it for military applications. Wide track front end castor would have been the way to go. I don't know what they were thinking when they went with the narrow "trike" setup. Farming is one thing...military off-road is quite another.
