Pilot program of trafficability tests with four vehicles was conducted in eight confined muskeg areas in Ontario; failures of mechanical components of vehicles because of muskeg clogging track systems hampered test program; results showed cone penetrometer and shear vane to have promise as tools for measuring trafficability of muskeg; ranges of trafficability potential were disclosed in tests, and these were tentatively related to characteristic differences in peat, cover and terrain-water relations.
