Good old British Scammell doing what its does best

because i'm not agreeing. Renze said the tank is pushing, but that is incorrect; the truck is pulling the tank.

@alexrex20 the tank is probaly under its own steam its not very often you see a scammell actuly towing to much strain on an old truck and they have probaly spent all small fortune restoring it its also towing with an a frame it dont need to counter steer it would just drag the front round ripping up the grass

Meaty !

did anyone notice the confederate flag lol?

The same happens when you tow a dead tank with another one. When you turn and the straighten up it wants to keep turning
-
If you really want to argue: the truck is excerting a force on the tank, as it is pulling it. In order to maintain a constant speed, the tank has to excert a force on the truck as well, or both would be accelerating infinitely.
-
no i wouldn't. when a vehicle is being towed, is the tow truck being pushed by the car being towed? NO.
-
Alexrex, so you'd also argue that the glass is half empty, when i say its half full, eh ?
-
Nope. With it's tracks, the tank wants to run straight forward. What you are seeing is the effect of the tank resisting being slewed around by the truck.
the tank is trying to push the scammell out of the corner, as the truck seems to be countersteering ?

Correct, the tank has rubber blocks in the tracks and so has more grip on grass than the Scammell, it does not want to turn.

no, the truck is indeed pulling the tank, but because the tank is tracked and is a skid steer, with no drive to the tracks it will try to continue straight. because it's so heavy, it pushes the rear of the truck wide, requiring him to countersteer.

What do you mean no when you're agreeing with what we both said?
