So this is fixable with some gearing, or maybe a different donor vehicle but i would be pretty much starting from scratch so i thought i'd let you all see my first proper fail and let you roast me lol. Look back on the build vids you can see my resevation with things but thought it would pull through, CAN'T WIN EM ALL eh. Looks brilliant though.
you could turn it into a tarmac roller if u still fill the wheels with water, not a GOOD roller but STILL ONE
would be funny
Would it work with manual valve to block hydraulic from going to a wheel that is not on the ground ? Something like blocking the differential in a 4x4 ?
Nah, you're still who I want to be when I grow up Uncle Colin. There's no failures, only prototypes.
Lock the differentials. Boom - off road machine. Ask anyone! Even the biggest baddest off road truck can't do anything when every single differential is open 💀
Thanks for posting this. You kept a positive attitude even through failure which is something a lot of people can learn from I'm definitely inspired!
Colin has successfully designed a no-terrain vehicle :D
Love this channel!
Good one.
This is the one
"But it looks so good!"
Prickles!
This comment FTW
No roasting. It's a valiant effort and looks great. If anything, it may demonstrate why the original concept didn't catch on.
If it had a locked differential it would work as designed. 4wd with locked diffs would be the thing to witness.
Well done sir, you created a multi-terrain rescue training probe for JCB drivers.
I can see this as a complete success.
I don't come to this channel for success or failure.
I come here to be entertained by a mad genius that is Colin.
100% This!!!
LOCK THE BLOODY DIFFERENTIAL!
Indeed
who gives a hole about failure when you redefine success
Really , he is teaching the wicked not to mess with humans me thinks , hope good humans all over the world can have a great year and live in a truthful world with honest leaders around. I hope the evil ones grow old real quick and die or just vanish away, we smart humans fed up with all your bullshit lies , keeping smart tech hidden , starting fake wars , GOD has seen all of this and I’m hopeful your evil plans have /will failed. I love humans and the truth, can’t wait till it’s normal on earth , not run by liars that got bad eating habits, Big up to all the good peoples out there with morals , have a great year , keep going XXX
I'd hardly call that a failure. Goofy monstrosity maybe but not a failure.
It's never a failure when you're having that much fun but it could do with a bit more grip.. 🤔
I agree its not your fault it's the cars fault. If you could build it from the ground up and don't have cost or time constraints you'd probably could have made this work. practical no, awesome toy, yes. XD.
I mean, he set out to recreate a vehicle design that never caught on because it _didn't work._ This isn't a failure, this is mythbusting.
.. apart from the fact that it does nothing useful or interesting.
Aren't all of colins creations a monstrosity in a way...?
I think you did a fine job, Colin.
The problem you encountered with mud first and then with the uneven creek bed is that the cleats on the wheels lacked enough surface to grab on to the ground. British tank track design from the 1920s & 30s had the same problem using flat-faced links. Once there was enough mud build-up in the wheel crevices you basically had a smooth circular band free-wheeling and no traction at all. Same thing happened in the bog, by the looks of it.
The design is good, Colin. Add some teeth to each cleat to increase traction or raise them above the channel they're installed in by one or two inches, and I think you'll be able to make it work. You got it, mate.
No roasting required, it speaks for itself. And the fact of you still uploading it deserves kudos... when watching videos online most people don't show the failures, or the effort spent into those failures (or that the professionals actually make failures). you doing so gives people a better perspective and sets better expectations for others.
Lovely as always Colin!
You didn't fail at making a tank, you succeeded in making an efficient getter-stucker.
i thought it was a work out dummy for the jcb
Sell it to the russians!
And every tank started off getting stuck
Id say sell it to nasa
Looks like a rover or smthn
Agreed
What a wonderful sight to behold, the world's first one terrain vehicle. Well done Colin for making us smile.
PRICKLES!
going anywhere there are flat prickles
Hello Colin! Thanks for all you do! I am in Toronto Canada, The son of an Englishman who lived in Ilford in Essex till his family emigrated to the lovely Dominion of Canada! Anyway, I think you did a great job. I know that it doesn't do what you want it to do, but, it is a turning point and an idea generator. I feel that the screw tank had a better chance because it only had 2 drive items, not 4, and the same with most tracked tanks, they only have 2 tracks and are joined to the engine and transmission through a differential. as you know, applying the brakes on one side makes all the power go to the other side and you turn toward the side that has the brakes applied. Years ago, I got as close as possible to doing what you do in that I took a very old, very large Step Van with a load limit of 10,000 pounds, and pulled out it's 6 cylinder engine and manual transmission and put in its place a V8 with 455 inches of displacement, a lot of low end torque, and an upgraded automatic transmission. It all worked well, much faster than the original, but one winter, I took it to a professional oil change place (no garage to work in at the time and a lot of snow falling) and the oil change technician got his foot stuck on the throttle and drove it right through the garage's back glass roll up door with me standing on the passenger's side (no passenger's seat, only for 1 guy to do deliveries with). Well, the van was a write off, my 9 months of labour in a rented do-it-yourself garage all went down the drain. The oil change company had their insurance look at it and they gave me a choice, spend a lot of money and time to fix it or take a smaller payout equal to my cost of the van, the parts, and my time to do this big conversion. Did I say that it started as a GMC with Chevy engine, and that it finished with an Oldsmobile Rocket engine? big mismatch, months to figure out how to get it all to work together. I took the cash. Anyway, I feel that you will figure this one out, better matched engine and transmission and differential. Maybe add a locking diff so that you can force it to spin all wheels in tandem when you are stuck so that you don't just sit there spinning the one wheel that can't help you. I wish you success with chapter 4 on this one and look forward to how you make it happen! Thanks again for all you do and for the patience and co-operation of you family, friends, and neighbours. They are all a part of this too! Tom from Toronto, your 99th cousin by way of Ilford in Essex !!!
Nobody asked for your life story
It may be a failure, but it's still a step forward. Not everyone gets taught that failure has value, so this was definitely worth posting.
You didn't fail, you accurately recreated a vehicle that was never capable of the things the inventor promised.
based
Not really though... the project could still work with better build quality, and an appropriately sized engine/base vehicle to mod
Don't listen to this backdoor smoke. You failed!
Wise words my guy
It's never a failure if it looks good 🤩
..might still do great on some scifi festival 🤔
Damn, I am a failure and don’t even look good 😢
That’s why your videos never fail, you have enough talent to make even your dog’s sh1t look like something cool and impressive 😅
Your amazing and I like your channel even more knowing you watch Colin too. That computer tower recently was SICK
*A E S T H E T I C S*
If you aren't failing once in a while, you aren't learning. Way to go Colin.
The original designer is spinning in his grave just like those wheels were spinning in that mud.
Great video Colin, thanks!
Well better this than no one ever revisiting the idea lol, IMP I would love to do something like this, just need an affordable exit strategy
Colin was expecting to be roasted but everyone is just proud of him for admitting to failures
Its the internet. I will be shocked if there are not at least a few trolls. You could cure cancer and expect trolls. I am sure he also knows the majority of his audience would appreciate him and the video anyway.
The Furze army is too wholesome for that hahaaha
He doesn't have any flaws that we could roast him with.
More power, Colin. If it's something I've learnt from 15 years of watching your channel is that everything always needs more power.
The wheels are spinning lol it needs more surface area on the ground. More power would just be a louder fail 😂
@@BlueZirnitraonly some of the wheels are spinning. It needs lockable differentials
@@TheDaniel688 Someone finally said it. Jeeeeeeeeeeeesus.
More power helps. Not losing it in a wheel thats on the air or one that grips less and turns more than the oposite does to. Differential lock does the trick. Its on every damn 4x4 to help with that
No it needs more pulsejets
As one wise man Adam Savage said, failure is always an option. This looks awesome, just needed more torque!
Just think about all the things you learned from failure. I've always said that often you learn more from failure than from success. I'm also very glad that you put it on here.
Even a Colin Furze failure is a better you tube exeperience than 98% of other creators videos. Well done that man, love a can do attitude.
Hey Colin that masterpiece should be in a movie better yet built a bunch of them and produce your own movie
that 2 % include diy perks
@@KnightFury9900 Absolutely, he makes fantastic content also. The man has mad skills.
Ohhhhhh burn
@@Leeh187 ikr
I'm always fond of the MythBusters's phrase... "Failure is always an option"
You can't learn if you don't make mistakes.
The problem is that it needs a cool paint scheme!! 😊👍👍
What an absolutely magnificent roll bar with some pro tier bling attached! 💪🏽
Colinfurze does not fail, he learns with style.
Colin doesn't fail. If only physics would do as it's told.
It's not a failure unless you haven't learned anything you can use the make the next prototype better.
LIKE BUZZ LIGHTYEAR!!!! ... sort of
The material doesn't exist that could take Colin on. The atoms simply just give up when they see him coming, just depends if he gets there first to weld them into submission.
If you can't get the wheels watertight, fill them with Polyurethane foam. Total Boat for example produces two component foam specially designed to fill pontoons. The foam is water-repellent, so that the pontoon is still buoyant even when the hull is damaged. I'm pretty sure the Hacksmith can help out with a bigger hydraulic pump and engines.
this is the way
*Botal Toat
@@David-co5oo
Botal Float
Don't pontoons float? Won't adding big huge pontoons to all the traction points make it basically useless in a stream like the one he drove through? As the wheels will be trying to float instead of dig in?
@@twelvecatsinatrenchcoat It would not be a problem as filling the wheels with the foam would only prevent the wheels from getting flooded, it would not increase the amount of water displaced by the wheels already.
One thing I liked about your screw tank build was that you left in a clip where you threw your drill down in a temper because something wasn't going well. It's great seeing the polished videos of everything working as intended, but I know from personal experience that things are rarely that smooth and frustrations and failures are far more common than what is usually presented to the viewer.
Absolutely no roasting here because even getting this one to the stage you did and still being functional, if not entirely effective, is a huge achievement in itself, and it's also more relatable, having made things that don't end up working! Would love to see this at Makers Central if that is at all feasible 😊
I feel like this would be worth another shot. You've already identified the problems and they are fairly fixable, not to mention that its such a cool concept.
A real man can admit his mistakes! Hats off to you Sir.
Had to post the expensive fail to recoup the losses so he can afford to do it again without it being a blow to his pocket
Yep I second this Colin a fail is just a fail, it looks awesome your build quality is up there but there's a reason the original person didn't follow it up.... And I reakon a second donor vehicle or one hell of a gearing system may just take you further down a rabbit hole. But good luck with the next adventure I for one can't wait..... You mad creator of contraptions.
Yeah it's easy to admit your mistakes when you get sponsorship money to do so...
also he's getting paid the big money
No such thing as failure, only delayed greatness with you Colin
Best mentality to have every failure is a learning experience
No he said to roast him about it not tell him how great he is😂
It’s just alternatively successful
Colin Furze has the best channel on TH-cam. Thank you for being a genuine, happy and positive person! I’ll continue to support you anyway I can!
You need diff locks and paddles. Part of the problem is that although it generates more up-force (floatation-like when people let they tyres down) the more it sinks, it dosent generate more traction. In fact it probably generates less traction.. you need to weld on some mars rover type traction. 4:23
Since you asked for a roast, here goes... Hey Colin, after watching your all-terrain vehicle adventure, I have to say, you've truly achieved something extraordinary. It takes a special kind of talent to create a vehicle that struggles to handle both the brush and a kiddie pool. You've managed to combine the grace of a snail with the speed of a sloth, all while leaving a trail of disappointed onlookers in your wake. Your failed tests were almost as impressive as your unwavering determination to prove that not all inventions are meant to be successful. Keep pushing those boundaries, my friend, because who knows, one day you might just invent the world's first stationary off-road vehicle. Kudos to you!
That's GPT-4 100%
It is and its quality comments, no wonder it'll take over the internet, oh wait already did...
No one but ChatGPT-4 says "unwavering determination" or "It takes a special kind of talent" hahahahah
You can't leave anybody in your wake if you aren't moving.
Ngl that last part is brilliant
You didnt fail Colin. You successfully found out how not to do it. And thats what makes you grow. Love all the content
That is the definition of failing my dude
"I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." - Thomas "How dare you steal my quote!" Edison
Colin is really talented, some seriously cool work going on in this project. Hats off.
I like seeing the full spectrum of creativity. Your humility is inspiring. Keep it up Furze.
Failure is still a form of Success!
Wow
Wow
Great video
Nice
Wow
I love that there are no roast, just lots of love and people impressed with how far Colin has come
TH-cam got rid of dislikes and I've personally had critical posts removed. What makes you think they don't have an algorithm to keep the endorphins and therefore the addictive chemicals flowing? Remember, you are the product. :')
Fill the wheels with expanding foam to keep water out. Another issue is lack of differential lock. When one wheel loses the ground, all drive goes to that wheel.
That monster machine is bloody brilliant, so good work Colin. The building of it was fun to watch so take the failure with a smile and as a learning experience :D
Makes me feel better to see that not EVERYTHING works out even for Colin Furze
thats why i posted as some think everything make just works easy
@@colinfurze Your ability to overcome adversities is a very big reason I'm still watching after 10+ years! Much love!
If you're not failing you're not pushing the boundaries enough! More crazy, outrageous failures please, they're still just as entertaining.
@@user-pw7xy2sm8i Exactly!
I wish I could come up with a roast, but honestly I'm stoked you're such a humble, real, human being that can admit failure and defeat. The world would be a better place if more people were Furzey.
Word! I wish more channels would post their failures, it humanizes them and makes me appreciate the successes more
I honestly believe there would be no more world to live in with more Colin Furzes. :D
@@thorndelwyn6528 Hahaha maybe
Redemption idea. Ditch the 15 degrees. Make straight axels BUT have the half spheres be more like 75% spheres. That way you don't have all the issues with steering at 15 degrees. And maybe ditch the floating idea and instead have the wheels be intentionally porous that way when you're in water the wheels will simply sink past the water/super watery mud but will get down to the denser mud that they could actually get some traction out of. Also get something different for the base with diff lock and more torque to begin with. Looks like multiple times one wheel was spinning when the other 3 were stuck. And also you NEED some sort of turret on it so you can shoot something. Maybe a t-shirt cannon shooting Colin Furze t-shirts?
Its great to see how far you have came over the years 💯
Colin: "I've picked the most obscure tank design you've never heard of that was also rejected by the military"
Also Colin: "Hmmm, it doesn't seem to work" 😂
Next he’ll be making the godawful monstrosities that are early prototype tank designs
Nahh can’t roast you when you’ve still got one of the most impressive, creative brains on the internet paired with an inspiringly optimistic attitude! Keep up with the amazing projects and thanks for always sharing the fun you have throughout every step of the building process!
Failures are how we learn. Thank you for sharing your projects with us!
Thank you for showing your failures! A lot of us weekend warriors fail a lot because we don't always have the time and money to get it right, which can get discouraging. Seeing that even the guys that make it look easy can fail helps me keep going.
You didn't fail mate, you made the world heaviest watering can 😂
Keep the videos up you're the king of of creations mate ❤👍🏻
The ability to engage a hydraulic "diff lock" is crucial in small articulated tractors. Time for more plumbing, Furze!
Yes exactly time for AvE @arduinoversusevil20251 to get involved and support. I would expect some flow restrictors/ diverter valves on return lines could drive the wheels that stall out.
I don't think so. The issue seems to be that full pressure from the pump isn't enough to turn the wheels with enough force to climb a hill. That would only help if a spinning wheel is taking too much fluid for the pump to provide full pressure - and I don't think that is always the case.
Something to prevent a wheel spinning freely from hogging all the hydraulic fluid, or however else power is transmitted to the wheels. A set of gear pumps on a common shaft to equalize fluid flow should help in this case. With a bypass for hard road travel.
@@robertbackhaus8911 dif lock and a v8?
@@richardconstable5441 Its a lot more then that, Diff lock is all about keeping the wheel speed the same, If you just try to make the pressure going to each wheel the same, You only end up with the same torque which is not going to help, it often takes more torque to spin one tire vs the other so regardless, one tire will be spinning until the other wheel gets enough pressure for the torque it needs to spin. Add some wheel speed sensors, a strong enough pump, and software to make it all work then absolutely!
I would not write it off as a total failure yet. 2 possible fixes [1] lower gearing (lots and lots of work and probably a lot of trialing) [2] stronger Hydraulics that can drive it with the current gearing (easier to do and the added benefit of being less purpose built and thus repurposable to another project)
brilliant, especially the honest testing after!
It’s hard to even want to roast you, you’re the happy brit who inspires us to all wanna build crazy stuff. Maybe not this crazy, but crazy.
It was a good effort and fun was had :) Am I the only one thinking four in-wheel hub motors though?
Colin: "Let's create a failed 1950s concept vehicle."
Also Colin: "What? It didn't work?! It's almost like it's a failed concept or something."
I don't just watch you for your successes. I watch you because you are one of the most infectious personalities on TH-cam. Your energy and imagination is what I live about this chanel. I cannot wait to see your new videos.
Your safety squints were on full force through those bushes.
Loved it.
It's not a failure , you can use it to check flat surfaces, and when it gets stuck you will know exactly were to remove a pebble. 😂 The thing looks great and entertaining as always.
That all terrain vehicle is great! The way it recovered your prototype from the mud and the river was impressive. JCB do good work.
Whether it works or not, whatever project you're working on is worth checking out. They are always fun, your enthusiasm is infectious, and the vids are always weirdly educational.👍
Furze is a greenwashing shill.
An amazing looking "average terrain vehicle" :D Mr Colin Furze even your "failure" is well built and entertaining, I'm sure you'll be able to re-jig this into something even more impressive & better given some time. Without failure there is no real learning, thanks for showing us this and may your next project work better than expected :)
What a great forklift tester for weight capacities. BRILLIANT!!! Another amazing build good sir 👍🏽
I love how Colin never deals with scaled down prototypes. He just goes all in, all the time.
Looks good, need to fix it where you can lock all your wheels so they rotate together when you get stuck. Love watching you and your projects.
Awesome effort and entertaining despite its failing, failiure is a lesson you will learn from,then you modify till you overcome the problem. Keep on going Colin!
Now to hope your sponsor adopts it into their game so everyone gets to experience what it's like to be stuck a meter away from spawn, collecting water from a shallow puddle.
Colin wanted roasts, and got possibly one of the most positive and encouraging comment sections I've seen to date. What a legend.
Roasts? Now I'm hungry!
Cue every creator on this lovely platform starting to ask for roasts instead of just comments.
Dude I've never seen TH-cam this nice! I still might have to give the man what he wants though 😂
Colin is human after all! Without failure there is no success, I await the redemption!!
I'm glad you posted the failure. Seeing why thing fail is both educational and entertaining. I think it also shows people that even the best come up short sometimes and to keep pushing forward. That's valuable for anyone.
Colin asks people to roast him and all I see are compliments. It really shows how much respect we all have for Colin.
It looks great in a Steampunk BioShock kind of way. Or Retro-Futurist like Fallout
Retro futurist for sure
Why are you in literally every comments section I go to and why do you have such godly taste in TH-cam content?
OMG Tay Zonday in the comments section again, it's like you are stalking me, lol. The other video was Bright Sun Films BTW. Anyway still love Chocolate Rain.
exactly my point (I tried to tag you in my comment) it's very steampunk looking!
Chocolate rain
Probably the kindest ‘roasting’ comments on any comments section available!
You’ve acquired a good following when - even when you ask for it- no one seems to find a single bad thing to say.
National treasure in the making.
“Experience is what you get when you didn’t get what you wanted”.
Two thoughts Colin:-
A friend of mine had a need to machine a rubber grommet. I suggested freezing it for laugh so we put it in the lathe and hit it with freezer spray and it turned like a pice of plastic. Had to keep the freezer spray on it constantly though. I suspect of course you would overdo it with liquid nitrogen 😂.
I suspect the dumper has the motor on each end of the axle in parallel otherwise it would be awkward to steer. As a result it is acting like an open differential. If one wheel loses traction all the oil will go to that motor rather than the one with all the grip. Not sure how to fudge around that.
I'm actually more intrigue in the making process than the results. This was really interesting on how you've transformed a small vehicule into a massive curved wheeled armored plated version. Never stop making things!
Me too.
The build is the entertaining part. The testing is always second to that.
Breaking news - "Colin Furze still a human being!" What a streak of amazing projects Sir - keep'em coming!
2:15 No you misunderstand the problem. It's because the motors run in parallel, as I commented on the first build video. You need a quad pump running the wheels individually or some other method of torque biasing. It is definitely possible to fix but it requires a rework of the hydraulic system.
That looks incredible, at least it can haul around some of your other projects in style!
An excellent workaround for the wheel leakage issue, whether it be from faulty welds or bullet holes, is to simply fill them with lightweight foam. They'll displace water and maintain buoyancy even in the event of a breach.
That, and I'd base the design off of 2 gasoline powered zero turn mowers instead.
4 pumps, 4 motors, 2 engines on a light chassis.
Actually thought about doing such a thing at work before minus the big wheels
Some zero turn mowers can actually reach ridiculous speeds with a 30 ish hp motor, let alone 2
How can you have 2 motors off 1 engine?
@@aceman0000099 2 Hydraulic 'motors', they run off two pumps that are powered by a gasoline engine. One 'motor' in each wheel-hub.

As Winston Churchill once said. Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. You sir embody this quote!
He also said that Indian people are "a beastly people with a beastly religion"
Failure may have been fatal....if Collin had gone into a war zone in that thing. : )

Imagine youre a fish casually relaxing in a river, and then some guy in a construction truck with metal balloons as wheels comes and rolls your house over
so it can only be some idiot, and they don't exist like that, do they?
Colin finally knows the uncomfortable feeling of sitting on a pair of steel balls. Looks tough, but the moment you want to get moving they keep on dragging through the dirt.
It is essential to know that failure like this does not mean you failed. It means you learned something. Without failure, we would never learn.
Couldn't have said it better myself. "Failure is an opportunity to learn." - My college lecturer.
Greatness can not exist without hardship. You never get better if you never fail. Thanks for showing this.
My mother taught me a saying in our early days of skiing and I was but a wee lad....."If you're not good at something, you can at least look good while doing it"
Even if you consider this a failure. Just your mechanical ingenuity in creating things is worth a subscription. Your channel is within my top 3. I still go back your tunnel builds even though I've watched them a dozen times.
As an engineering student I love and enjoy the whole process of design and production you make no matter it works or not, so I would never roast you. Mistakes are part of the process and the best way to learn. Nothing can always go the way we want. I love everything you do Colin!
It might has been a failed project, but with a bit of propper English humor (like you always do) this makes a great video.
As an engineer 2 possible solutions. 1) make the vins on the wheels a bit bigger so they act more like scoops. 2) The best improvement will be diff-locks (welding the gears in the diffs) If all wheels turn at the same time, this will drive great in the water, mud or sand. But roads will be a nightmare. Or find an other donor vehicle that has diff-locks already 😊
Good luck you mad-man!!!
@colinfurze If im thinking correctly, the way the hydraulics are currently plumbed all 4 wheels are plumbed in parallel which in turn means that if 1 wheel looses traction its just going to start spinning and allowing all the hydraulic oil to flow through that 1 wheel motor, if you were to plumb them all in series then the hydraulic oil would be forced to go thru all 4 wheel motors which in theory would truely make it 4wd
7:19 "Ha, Prickles!" , yep prickles. LMAO got me good with that one.
You may also want to look for a vehicle with a locked differential. You were getting a lot of wheelspin in places. Granted, that won't help with the lack of power, but it'll help you actually use what power you have.
there are special valves witch diverts an equal volume of hyrdolic oil to all its outlets. (Don´t know what it´s called in english, google says "flow divider") This would probably act like a dif-lock on all weels.
Hydrostats offer advantages and disadvantages. They make lots of heat and are inefficient compared to a mechanical system.
It's a hydraulic drive, so no actual differential gearing's involved.
Your wheels weren’t shot, but your hydraulics sure were!
Such a cool looking build. Thanks for being you, Colin.
This was still very entertaining even if it didn’t get the intended outcome. Makes me feel better when I’ve tried to create something and it didn’t work out.
You just keep trying and building new projects meanwhile laughing through all the frustrating parts. Always fun to watch, especially this one. 😁
Colin "It can go through prickles!" Furze was unaware he was about to meet his match when he came across a slight incline concealed in the undergrowth. Completely stuck and hopelessly alone it took a week for his rescuers to find him emaciated & delirious from surviving on a diet of hydraulic fluid & rubber hoses. When interviewed on why he refused to walk back Colin casually shrugged and gave a single word response "Prickles"...
You're the best Colin. It's not a failure, it's a learning experience.
Colin I'd love to see you tackle fixing these problems, perhaps stronger hydraulic motors and pumps.
As for failures, it's always great to see even the biggest and most experienced makers screw up from time to time. Bring on the failures!!
need a dif-lock, most issues would not be a problem if you can prevent slippage, maybe you can do traction control with the brakes , if you can apply them per side.
Engineers learn more with failures than with successes. So you never lose because you always learn.

As Tomas Edison once said
“I have not failed 10,000 times- I have successfully found 10,000 ways that will not work”
Your videos have brought me joy for years and am glad to have remembered to subscribe to your channel for great inventions and inspiration to go and do daft things my self!!
Thank you Colin and I hope you have an awesome day!!
He just decided to steal someone else's ideas instead. :)
@@simulacrae shhhhhh not supposed to make that connection
he stole 10,000 ideas
That bastard stole everything he ever "made"
And found like 10k ideas how to steal from someone.
@Colinfurze : If your hydrostat pump provides oil only to one axle, you could install a cheap flow-divider for both wheel, and it would act as a diff-lock. You can normally manage the slip with an orifice, for full lock, plug it. If the loader is 4x4, then connect the lines of the wheels in X, rear-left to front right with the flow divider, and same the other way. Change the pump shock-valves and raise the pressure ;) It will go!
You know what else doesn't work? Roasting Colin Furze. He's just too nice.
You don't deserve a roast after so many years of great creations. It's just a bump in the road, that unfortunatly you can't crawl with this thing. Love you Colin!
