How much is Gasoline in the US at the moment?

Weight down the back of you van this should help some with traction. Also you should carry a shovel, a bag of sand (the weight?) and maybe some other item to help add traction in case you get stuck you can dig around the stuck tire and add some sand for traction. That's what I did with rear wheel drive vehicle when I lived in areas that got snow and ice I think the principles behind it should help as long as your not in a sinking soupy mud.

Non, the differential is designed so that if one wheel is slipping the other has no drive, it's a tractor job I'm afraid if you go in the field.

Change your tyers for ones with deeper tred this will give you more traction

Do you spend a lot of tome driving across fields? If so, why not look at investing in some M & S (Mud and snow) tyres. Not as good as a $x$, but better than normal road going tyres. If this is too expensive, why not carry some old carpet or snadbags, they will help you get clear. Better still, try to drive around the worse parts onto more solid ground.

apart from buying a 4x4, you could try fitting some mud and snow tyres and fitting a limited slip differential in the rear axle

deflate the tyres by about 10-15 psi. this will give you a wider surface area in contact with the ground.

I would recommend Using snow chains on rear tires when going into the field. Or ask your tire dealer about off road tires.

Which lorries that the council use are tackagraff exempt on the uk roads?

Let your tyres down to about 8psi (make sure you take a pump to blow them back up before going back on road) drive steadily across in as high a gear as possible, don't rev the engine too hard, try not to spin the wheels and don't stop on the mud, keep going at all times.

Would changing your rims from 15" to 22" or vice versa have any negative effects on your transmission?

Here is a tip from the shell answer man maybe 20+ years ago,if you have a rear drive vehicle with rear drum brakes and a NON-LSD (no "POSI") or some might say an "OPEN" differential when the right rear tire is spinning by itself and the left rear is just sitting there ,very slowly apply the parking brake and it will transfer power to the left tire when trying to go foward and the right wheel is spinning-this actually WORKS ,i have done it more than once and shown it to others and best of all it's FREE!
