Prevention of rutting

On the base of the tree types of ruts on soil combined with the behavior of lumps of soil when they are thrown against any surface, the Bavarian State Forest BaySF has developed a practical reference sheet:

•       If you have the type 1 and the soil lump is stable, you may drive.

•       If you have the type 3, then stop driving immediately

•       If you have the type 2 and the soil lump can be formed easily, you should try to drive very carefully:

--      if the ruts stay at type 2, then go on driving

--      if they turn to type 3

---     reduce the load or the tire pressure and repeat the test

---    if they still turn to type 3, then stop!
