I figure if you were wearing traction lug tyres like a jeep, she would just pull out of the muck without a chirp.
The other point is like what Phill said; if I was in a situation like you describe, as soon as I realised one wheel was spinning, I would pull the diff fuse to give it a better chance of rocking it's way out of bother.

Hi Joe,
I had no trouble getting traction as soon as I used RPM, my point was one of interest as to the exact reasons why. I won my car club's mud trial many years ago, in/on an AC sports car with a Ford V8 engine transplant, I had at the time.
What are you suggesting with - "I would pull the diff fuse to give it a better chance of rocking it's way out of bother."
Inserting a fuse would lock up the centre controlled LSD on my JDM car, but would have no affect on the rear LSD?
Cheers, Trevor.
