Had a little job yestaday picking up a ride on mower with a trailer, mower and trailer tipped the scales at 800kgs and the disco pulled beautifully, at one point had to stop pointing up a hill covered in leaves (15% incline) and she pulled away spot on kept the loud pedal down and let the TC do its thing, the mower was on a farm and I had to drive over a water logged field with 19inch road tyres I was fully expecting to get stuck and she just pulled
I am very impressed with the disco the TC worked flawless and if it wasnt for the TC I would of been stuck in the field. On the road you couldnt tell there was a trailer on the back.

Recently took mine out for a day at a tough quarry, standard with shoddy road tyres, TC was going crazy all day but it never stopped moving and climbing over anything, 6 hours driving time was going round everywhere, stuck only once which was entirely my fault been through the bit 10 times before!
