tractor pattern

OK Paul you aren't the only city boy here.
Just visualize how the tread would work. With the V's pointing forward as in the photo soft material would be channeled out to the sides allowing the tire to reach firmer soil beneath it. With the V's reversed the soft material is pulled to the center of the track causing the wheel to slip. Elementary my dear Watson!

Torque is what makes them flip over, Fords and Fergusons were famous for it!
