Lynn, I think we're all in agreement!

Thanks, guys. I can see why this particular way of adjusting timing for engine load didn't catch on.

Just to confirm, does a carrier engine in good condition struggle doing a "track-twist" turn on soft, dry soil in second gear, or only when doing a "braked" turn?

Track warp turns should be almost un-noticeable. By track warping, you are talking about only the first 90° turn of the wheel. Any turn beyond that will be very noticable in second.
