You are right; the steering is weak with weight on the front. Try to
counter it on the back.

Subject: (ET) New tires for
steering
I've noticed that my Elec-trak E20 *stinks* in terms of
steering. Put a
load on the end of the front lift and the sector gear
skips, but more to
the point it is almost impossible to steer. Likewise the
rear tires
don't have much grab to speak of.
Is this possibly
because I have old tires? Maybe they are stiff and
crummy. Would new tires
make steering with loads easier, or is this just
Elec-trak
life?
Chris
