Bill, 2×3 would mean the vehicle has three wheels but two of them have drive (are powered). A vehicle with six wheels and all of them powered should be expressed by 6×6. Like a front wheel drive four-wheeled passenger car is expressed by 4×2. The only 2×3 in the PM line up is this one:

Now one thing I did not like is the storage of the ramps.
Marston Mats. The “ramps” you refer to are called Marston Mats. They were used as temporary road bed throughout WWII to include roads, bridges, airfields, etc. Best used as an overlay on some other material.

Thanks for that, Andy.  I have often wondered what they were called.  :wave:

Thanks for the info Andy R. It is strange that it says they were tough as the ones we had used bent quite easily. There had to be on a firm base for them to work well. If you were in mud they would disappear and get distorted. We are getting 3'X8'X1/2" thick polyethylene mats instead

I always thought they would need to be quite thick thus making them too heavy especially if covered with mud for the average worker to handle. Now after hearing they distorted easily in extreme conditions, the mats seem like a better choice!
