True enough on flat land but think about when you start pulling hills the weight starts to transfer more towards the back and lifts weight off the drives, specially in cases with tall loads like a transformer that is full of liquid and the liquid all shifts towards the rear. You may not think it's a lot but when you have trucks with high torque and horsepower motors even a little is enough to cause wheel spin.

Oooohhhh I wasn't even thinking of uneven ground and weight shifting thank you for educating me and also this looks sweet as ****
