Get a 4 wheel drive tractor.

Sometime back tvo wrote a piece on aftermarket limited slip differentials 
for trucks...I went to one of the links and was impressed by what they were 
selling. But I can't find the link or the message.
A limited slip would help the 2wd truck...

Homestead advice-

Buy a house. If you have a house, buy land. Pay for the land with city 
jobs, prepare your family for a rural lifestyle, accumulate tools and 
skills. When the land is free of debt sell the city house and go make a 
good life.
