Just a paper theory based on a flawed experiment (machine turned rollers were used).

You are fond of describing yourself as a "physicist" presumably to add weight to your arguments, can you tell me what qualifications you hold in this respect?

Come on Gordon, trying to imply Steve is ill-qualified to say what he's said is unworthy of you - and a hell of a slap in the face to all the people, him most of all, that spent a huge amount of time and energy supporting you for months and years. It's no-one's fault that in the end stonerowing turned out to be far less effective than dragging, but what would you have us do - pretend it wasn't?

Gordon..

What's the height of your 'lift'

I can see dragging to be efficient across smooth grass areas.. But is that the terrain they encountered? Very unlikely I would have thought. It is very possible the slow and steady is better than fast to nowhere..
