You could argue that there is a lot wrong with a lot of vehicles, Say the Matador. I have owned 2 and still have one, but when you look at the Su-Coe with diff locks, built at a similar time you wonder why the Matador never had them. Or the Matador Air compresssor that doesn't pump when you have the clutch held down. It has a four speed winch, but the manual tells you you can only use first and second. Utterly stupid!

 

Similarly you have the Pioneer/Explorer, supposed to be a recovery tractor, but only one speed on the winch, and you can't pay it out under power. And no inbuilt Ground Anchors.

 

But we love them nevertheless. As I say if I was given a Stolly I would keep it and use it, It is just I don't like them enough to ever go out and buy one. It is not a question of money, If I won the lottery, I still wouldn't buy one(i just don't like them enough) , but one for free...YES PLEASE.
