| Operators of road slugs in the Northwest are usually lines with poor track and steep grades which require a lot of tractive effort, but not necessarily more horsepower. |
| Features include advanced hydraulic controls and impressive power in terms of rated operating capacities, tractive effort, bucket breakout force, and the like. |
| As may be conceived, the tractive stress is, as a consequence, considerably diminished. |
| These tracks enable a machine to operate in conditions where low ground pressure and high tractive effort are needed while minimizing the damage to the operating surface. |
| The dynamometer car is constructed to indicate the tractive effort of the engine, the speed, and the distance travelled. |
| And because the tractor unit is self-contained in a single unit, greater tractive effort can be applied to help move the unit through wet soils. |
