What's your thoughts on powering the front drum? That would seem to resolve the traction problems if its possible.

Yes I think powering the front drum would more than solve the traction issue completely. It's just all about time and cost. How much does someone want to spend on a toy like this? Powering the front drum would require some big changes to the drum itself and the frame(at least in my mind). I'm not saying that it would be a bad idea but then this thing is going to cost a lot more. Maybe someone would pay $1500US for it but I don't know? We tried to do these at a lower cost so I have to stop somewhere and be satisfied with the results.

Well your place is a little flatter Mario. I think your soil has less rock in it too. Maybe you do need one for testing purposes...

There is no rock in my soil at all. It would be interesting to see compaction after a few passes. Of course I would take care of the float cost to get it here.
