The four devices built were simple, inexpensive, and could be built by a logging or trucking contractor. The "bar and scraper" and "mud flap" removed 85% and 84% of the mud, respectively, that adhered to the dual-tires during the test. The "bar" and "rope" removed 78% and 40% of the mud, respectively.ix, 78 leavesBTDapplication/pdfenIn CopyrightLD5655.V855 1990.K448LoggingMudRural roadsThesishttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/available/etd-03122009-040606/
